Private Champagne Tours from Paris – Luxury Champagne Day Trip in/around Reims & Epernay
Discover France’s most sparkling region with our Private Champagne Tours from Paris — a luxury Champagne day trip designed for wine lovers, couples, or small groups who want to explore the world’s finest bubbles in total comfort.
Our private Champagne tours depart directly from your Paris hotel or apartment with pick-up and drop-off included. Travel in a luxury Mercedes vehicle (or equivalent) with your English-speaking licensed driver-guide (Philippe, originally from the Champagne region) who knows some of the best vineyards, cellars, and hidden villages along the route.
During your private Champagne region tour, you’ll visit Reims and Épernay (or nearby picturesque villages), the heart of Champagne production. Here you can explore both famous Champagne houses and charming family-run estates, combining world-class tastings with authentic encounters.
Walk through centuries-old cellars during your private Champagne vineyard tour in France, learn about the art of blending and riddling, and enjoy several tastings of the world’s best sparkling wines. You’ll compare the unique styles of Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon, Taittinger, or boutique producers nestled in the Marne Valley and Côte des Blancs.
What to Expect on a Private Champagne Tour
A private Champagne day trip from Paris is the perfect balance between comfort, education, and pleasure. Here’s what a typical itinerary looks like:
Every Champagne tour is private and fully customizable. Whether you’re seeking a VIP private Champagne tour focused on luxury houses, or a personalized Champagne region tour highlighting small growers and scenic villages, we adapt to your preferences.
You can request special stops along the Marne Valley, explore the Côte des Blancs vineyards, or include cultural visits such as the Reims Cathedral, where 31 French kings were crowned, or the Museum of the Surrender, which marked the end of World War II.
Discover Reims, Épernay, and the Villages of Champagne
Your private driver-guide will bring the region to life with anecdotes and local insights. In Reims, discover the grandeur of its Gothic cathedral, the resting place of French kings, and the legendary cellars of houses like Ruinart, Veuve Clicquot, and Taittinger.
In Epernay, known as the “Capital of Champagne,” stroll along the Avenue de Champagne, where prestigious producers such as Moët & Chandon, Leclerc-Briant, and Alfred Gratien open their cellars to visitors. Perrier-Jouët offers drinks only during the summer months (no cellar visits available).
If you prefer a more intimate and authentic experience, your private Champagne tour can include stops in picturesque villages such as Hautvillers, Ay, Ludes or Oger, where family producers craft exceptional wines in limited quantities.
During the day, your guide will explain the Champagne-making process — from grape harvesting and fermentation to blending, aging, and dosage. You’ll learn how Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay grapes come together to create the world’s most famous sparkling wine.
Lunch in the Champagne Region
Your driver-guide will recommend the best lunch options based on your preferences — from casual bistros featuring local dishes to elegant restaurants serving gourmet French cuisine. Popular stops include venues in Épernay or Reims, where you can pair your meal with a glass of Champagne and enjoy regional specialties like Rillons and Rillettes de Champagne (these are slow-cooked pork confits, prepared in Champagne), Jambon de Reims (Reims Ham), a traditional ham cooked in Champagne and covered with breadcrumbs, Chaource Cheese, a soft, creamy cow’s milk cheese from southern Champagne or the Biscuit Rose de Reims, or Pink Biscuit of Reims. Created in 1691, this delicate pink cookie, one of the sweetest traditions of the Champagne region, has become a symbol of Reims and is often enjoyed with a glass of Champagne.
Example of Champagne Tastings
To give you an idea of the variety you can experience, here are some tasting options during your private Champagne day tour:
Tasting fees are not included and can be paid directly by credit card on site.
While tours at major houses are typically shared, visits to smaller growers are private. Although we believe private tours of large producers can be expensive and may not offer significantly more value, we can provide a quote upon request.
Please note that some prestigious houses (Krug, Louis Roederer) do not offer public tours, and Moët & Chandon has discontinued private Dom Pérignon tours. Veuve Clicquot and Ruinart are closed on Sundays and Mondays.
