What to expect
You'll spend two days navigating Champagne's rolling vineyards with a driver who knows the back roads. Mornings often begin at a major house—think Moët or Veuve Clicquot—then shift to smaller family operations where you might walk the terroirs before tasting. Lunch breaks allow proper eating; afternoon sessions involve more tastings and possibly a detour to Hautvillers or along Avenue Champagne. Each day concludes by early evening. Pacing is relaxed, though tastings do accumulate, so pace your sips.
Good to know
