About this tour
An 8-hour exploration of two Champagne houses in France's famous wine region. Visit the modern production facilities of Nicolas Feuillatte, the world's third-largest Champagne producer, then descend into Taittinger's historic chalk cellars for guided tastings. A private driver handles transport whilst expert presenters walk you through each house's winemaking methods. Conclude with a tapas-style lunch. Tastings and cellar access fees apply separately.

What to expect
Expect a structured day moving between two distinct Champagne operations. At Nicolas Feuillatte, you'll see modern equipment and production lines explaining how one of the world's major brands scales its output. Taittinger offers a stark contrast—chalky tunnels carved deep underground where bottles age for years. Each stop includes a tasting; bring questions about production methods, blending, or styles. Lunch breaks the day's momentum with local tapas-style fare. Presentations happen in English. Walking involves modest slopes into cellars, so sturdy shoes matter. Total time includes travel between sites.
Good to know
Vineyard fees (€120–€180 per person) and lunch (€35–€55 per person) are separate costs, often paid on-site. Arrive 20 minutes early or forfeit your spot. If you're late to a booked visit, it may be cancelled. Wear warm layers and solid footwear. No one under 18. Those with heart conditions or pregnancy should reconsider.
