PRIVATE CHAMPAGNE TOUR
CHAMPAGNE DAY TOUR | PRIVATE DAY TRIP FROM PARIS
Book a private Champagne day tour with us for a memorable experience.
France is well-known for its architecture, arts, but also for its cheeses, its many vineyards and its tasty Champagne.
You have the choice to visit either one of the most important Champagne Houses such as Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, Moet & Chandon or another big producer of your choice followed by with one of two visits/tastings at a smaller Champagne grower during the day (lunch is not included), or to visit only smaller Champagne producers (depending on their availability)
During your visits, you will learn all the secrets of Champagne's process (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay grapes) and production (harvesting, alcoholic fermentation, dosage, riddling...).
You'll also be capable of distinguishing differences between brut, extra brut, brut nature and sec Champagne bottles. Last but not least, you'll taste great bottles from great houses or/and small producers that you won't be able to find in your country.
How will your Champagne tour run through?
Your Champagne day tour from Paris will start with a pick up at your accommodation at 7:30 or 8:00 am in Paris in a private luxury van (personalized pick up and drop off at your hotel or at your private apartment in Paris, like AirBnb for example).
Two hours drive will be necessary to take you to your destination. Your driver guide will give you brief explanations of your day program. Once you'll arrive, your tour in the best Champagne houses and cellars will start.

Also, please note that Moet & Chandon no longer offer private Dom Perignon tours since 2023 unfortunately.
The tours inside the big houses are shared tours and the ones at the smaller growers are private tours.
