Central Paris pickup, drop-off and air-conditioned transport are included; producers depend on availability and lunch is extra. 5 from 91 reviews at €379 per person for 10h–11h. In our comparison: #9 of 31 in Wine Tasting, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview What ever your level of appreciation for Champagne we will adapt the tour make it special for you. I am the owner operator, an expert in Champagne and native English speaker. Never scripted, always personalised, we simply love to share the best about Champagne and have you make unforgettable memories on your day trip. Come alone, couples, groups of friends, and families. There will be some history, some culture, some vineyards to explore, and a lot to learn about the processes. The highlight is of course tasting the various champagnes after learning about them. It all makes sense when you are there! You will never look at champagne in the same way after this tour. Meet some producers, be amazed by the big houses, and if you're there at harvest you'll experience the amazing juice coming off a press! ## Before you book - Meeting point: Starbucks Café opens at 7 a.m. - Starts 07:30: one departure a day - Food not included: Your options will be discussed on the… - Children from €200: ages 12 to 17 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €379 per person - Duration: 10h–11h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 91 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Champagne Tasting Tours from Paris - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 07:30 - Booking: Confirmation within 48 hours, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-01 ## Reviews 5.0 from 91 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 91 of 91. - 5 stars: 91 (100%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the tailored visits, tastings and champagne expertise; no recurring caveat emerges from the supplied reviews. **Praised:** - Clear explanations of champagne production and the region's history - Visits to both large champagne houses and small family producers - Visits tailored to personal interests and champagne knowledge - Varied champagne tastings with time to enjoy them - Lunch stops and vineyard picnics praised for the food and setting **Complaints:** - No recurring complaint is supported by the supplied reviews Written by Guidekin from the 89 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2023-06-27 to 2026-10-02); last checked 2026-10-03. ## What's included - Pick up and drop off in central Paris - Cellar Tours, small grower Champagne and one mid to big producer.

All stained glass was replaced with classic works up until two notable artists modernised the stories to be told. Marc Chagall miraculously kept his style and Imi Knoebel... 3. **Champagne Lanson** (1h 30m; admission included) - Depending on scheduling possibilities, a mid to big producer visit will start your day. It could be Lanson (one of my favourites) Pommery, Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot, Mumm, if in the morning. In the afternoon it could be Mercier, Boizel, Moet & Chandon (often full) Charles... 4. **Abbaye Saint-Pierre d'Hautvillers** (30m; admission included) - Where the idea of Champagne was born. Still to this day the methods written by Dom Pierre Perignon hold true. The church has a very important part in history. This will be a guided tour short enough but important in the understanding of Champagne and its history. We'll drive... 5. **Avenue de Champagne** (1h 30m) - We'll take a drive up the richest avenue in the world. You'll have your lunch options here with some time to on your own. I'll point out the best places, which we will have done on the way to Reims. IF there is nice weather, a picnic can be chosen on the most fabulous... 6. **Villers-sous-Chatillon** (1h 30m) - Visit a small producer in a very up front intimate tour. Often this is the highlight of the day! You'll learn a lot, see a lot, and taste a lot. 7. **Paris** (2h) - Return trip to Paris. Traffic is typically good until around EuroDisney, after it can and usually is very dense. You can be dropped off at or before Notre Dame Cathedral on our way back via Rive Droite from Pont d'Austerlitz or the pick up point. ## Schedule - Runs: Tue, Thu - Departures: 07:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-01 - 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 Starbucks Café opens at 7 a.m. so if you are early, you have time to pick up a coffee & croissant.
