Your day starts with pickup from your hotel in central Paris. Enjoy a comfortable drive with a fresh croissant as your guide introduces the Champagne region, its history, and traditions. Begin with a guided visit to a major Champagne house such as Mumm, Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon, Pommery or Nicolas Feuillatte. Explore the cellars, learn about the production process, and enjoy your first tasting. Continue through the vineyards, stopping among the vines for a guided tasting while learning about terroir and winemaking techniques. Lunch is served at a family-run Champagne house or a local restaurant, paired with different styles of Champagne. In the afternoon, visit a smaller estate, such as a family owned vineyard or a coopérative, to discover another expression of Champagne, followed by a final tasting. Return to the center of Paris in the late afternoon. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 1850 pickup points - Food included: Tasting of over 8 exceptional cuvees - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €275: ages 4 to 17 **Pickup:** Hotel pickup from 1850 pickup points ## Key facts - Price: from €325 per person for the Standard Tour to Champagne option; other options up to €914 - Duration: 11h - Rating: 4.76/5 from 687 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: My Winedays - Wine Passport - Group: Shared tour · private option available - Guide languages: English, French - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-04 ## Reviews 4.76 from 687 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 94% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 643 of 687. - 5 stars: 608 (89%) - 4 stars: 35 (5%) - 3 stars: 19 (3%) - 2 stars: 7 (1%) - 1 star: 18 (3%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the guides, varied champagne houses and lunch; some find the experience expensive for what is included. **Praised:** - Knowledgeable, engaging guides explain champagne production and regional history - A varied mix of large champagne houses and smaller producers - Generous tastings covering different champagne styles - Lunch and champagne pairings are frequently praised - Small groups make it easy to get to know fellow travellers **Complaints:** - Some find the experience expensive for what is included - Some expected to visit Veuve Clicquot but were taken elsewhere - Drop-off can be away from the hotel despite pickup there Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2025-08-25 to 2026-10-03); last checked 2026-10-03. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Standard Tour to Champagne | €325 / person | English, French | Pickup included | | Private Tour to Champagne | €914 / person (for 2+ people) | English, French | Pickup included | ## What's included - Transportation in a comfortable minivan (with A/C, 8 people Max) - An authentic masterclass led by your expert wine guide (depending on weather conditions) - Tasting of over 8 exceptional cuvees - Hotel pick-up at your accommodation in Paris - Drop-off in central Paris (Hotel de Ville) - Traditional French lunch paired with at least 3 champagnes - The services of an English speaking & wine expert guide - Discover one famous Champagne house and two small family vineyards or cooperatives - Delicious freshly baked French Croissant and a bottle of water ## Not included - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Paris** (15m) - Pick up at your accommodation in Paris 2. **Champagne-Ardenne** (2h) - Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive to the Champagne region while savoring a fresh croissant along the way. 3. **Reims** (1h 30m) - Discover the historic cellars of a renowned Champagne house and enjoy a guided tasting of their iconic Champagne cuvées, learning about the traditions and craftsmanship behind each bottle. 4. **Champagne-Ardenne** (2h) - Enjoy a typical French lunch directly at the winemaker’s table, paired with their own Champagne to perfectly complement the flavors of the meal. 5. **Champagne-Ardenne** (1h 30m) - Explore a family-run Champagne estate or cooperative, learn about traditional production techniques, and enjoy a tasting that showcases the character and diversity of their Champagnes. 6. **Champagne-Ardenne** (2h) - Unwind on the drive back to Paris after a sparkling day, taking home wonderful memories 7. **Paris** (15m) - Return to Paris with drop-off in the center of Paris (Hotel de Ville) ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-04 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point If your accommodation isn't located in Paris, we will provide you with a meeting point in Paris and make sure it is convenient for you to access.
