About this experience

On this day trip from Paris, you will explore the Champagne region through a series of eight tastings, vineyard visits, and a meal. The journey begins with hotel pickup in central Paris, followed by a comfortable drive where you can enjoy a fresh croissant as your guide shares insights into the region's history and traditions. The first stop is a major Champagne house like Mumm, Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon, Pommery, or Nicolas Feuillatte, where you will tour the cellars and participate in your first tasting. Afterward, you will travel through the vineyards, stopping to taste wines directly among the vines while learning about terroir and winemaking methods. Lunch will be provided at a family-run Champagne house or a local trattoria, accompanied by various styles of Champagne. The afternoon includes a visit to a smaller estate, such as a family-owned vineyard or a coopérative, culminating in a final tasting before returning to central Paris in the late afternoon. This experience is suitable for wine enthusiasts and those looking to learn more about Champagne, but may not be ideal for individuals who do not consume alcohol.
