DeLuxe DOM PERIGNON Champagne Tastings Cellars trip from Paris

About this tour

Your House Ambassador unlocks the historic ageing vaults—sections closed to standard tours—where you'll taste two distinguished vintages whilst learning how this prestige cuvée develops. The day includes a stop at Hautvillers to visit the church housing Dom Pérignon's tomb, and optional Michelin-starred dining or visits to neighbouring champagne houses can be arranged.

• Taste Plénitude 2006 and 2013 releases in intimate setting
• Visit Hautvillers village and Dom Pérignon's burial church
• Mercedes transport throughout the day
• Maximum six people ensures personalised experience

What to expect

Depart Paris in a Mercedes and drive to Champagne's Dom Pérignon headquarters. After visiting Hautvillers and the historic church, you'll enter the cellars with your ambassador guide. Expect two hours underground exploring chalk galleries where bottles age in silence. You'll taste two vintages neat, learning production methods specific to this house. The guide provides context on terroir and ageing philosophy rather than generic champagne facts. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a rushed group tour. Afterwards, return to Paris with optional stops for Michelin dining or further cellar visits elsewhere in the region.
