What to expect

Your guide picks you up from your Paris hotel and drives you northeast into the chalky vineyards of Champagne. Expect to spend time at 2–3 houses, wandering their underground galleries and learning how they make fizz, then tasting their wines. You'll pause for lunch in a local restaurant (not included; budget around €20 for a proper meal with wine). In the afternoon, you'll visit Reims Cathedral—a soaring Gothic structure heavy with French history—and Hautvilliers Abbey, where Dom Pérignon made his discoveries. The pace is leisurely; you're not rushed between stops.
