Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris
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!

What's included in Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Departure from Starbuck’s Odeon where you could have a café and croissant while waiting to Champagne.
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Reims
Temporarily unavailable until September due to road works. A recently restored Cathedral where most kings since Clovis were crowned is a true moment to discover. 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 will wow you with impressive cubic colour. I will tell you some details so that when you arrive you'll do a fairly quick tour and know what to look for.
Champagnes Lanson
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 Mignon, or Nicolas Feuillatte in Chouilly. If none are available there are lots of smaller ones to visit with great champagnes to taste. The longer you book in advance the more chance there will be of having a place at the more popular houses. Each house has something unique, especially in the way of their cellars.
