What to expect
Meet your guide at Reims' tourism office at 09:20. The morning focuses on Mumm House, where you'll learn how they've made Champagne for generations. After lunch with wine pairings at a family estate, you'll head to Hautvillers—the village where modern Champagne essentially began. Spend time wandering its quiet streets and seeing the abbey's connection to the region's story. The afternoon moves to a smaller producer for a guided walk of their vineyards and three structured tastings. You'll finish by 17:20, heading back to central Reims.
