What to expect
You'll depart Paris in a private car and arrive in Reims mid-morning. After exploring the cathedral and understanding its place in Champagne history, you'll drive to a family-run vineyard where owners walk you through their methods—from vine to bottle. Here you'll taste several of their own Champagnes. Lunch follows at a Michelin-rated restaurant, where each course connects to the wines you'll drink. The afternoon takes you to Épernay's famous avenue and a larger Champagne house for a formal tasting and tour. The drive back to Paris wraps up the day.
