About this tour
Spend eight hours in the Champagne region with a producer-focused guide who knows the vineyards intimately. You'll visit two working cellars, taste wines directly from the makers, and learn how the region's geology and traditions shape each bottle. Lunch is included, and you can request optional activities like sabrage or vineyard harvesting to tailor the day to your interests.
Highlights
- Two cellar visits with tastings from working producers

- Optional sabrage demonstration or harvest participation
- Private transport throughout the Champagne vineyard landscape
What to expect
Your guide will drive you between two active champagne houses, stopping to walk through vineyards and cellars where you'll see barrels, ageing bottles, and chalk tunnels. At each cellar, you'll taste multiple vintages and learn the differences between houses and cuvées. Lunch happens at a winemaker's table, where the food is chosen to complement the wines you've tasted. If you've requested sabrage or a harvest activity, the guide will arrange it during your visit. Expect plenty of detail about grape varieties, fermentation, and regional history—this isn't a rushed tasting room experience.
