Tour Details

We'll meet at the designated time in front of Rheims train station. From here, we'll take a minibus to Épernay, a notable champagne-producing village in France.

In Épernay, we'll wander along the Avenue de Champagne, where important cellars of well-known brands such as Moët & Chandon, Pol Roger, Perrier Jouët, and Boizel are located. We'll also see the Dom Pérignon statue, honoring the monk who developed a revolutionary method for producing champagne in the 17th century.

The tour will continue to the vineyards surrounding Épernay, where we'll share insights about the 'champagne terroirs'. Next, we'll visit Hautvillers to see the church where Dom Pérignon is buried.

Our next stop will be at Mareuil-sur-Ay, where we'll visit Le Clos Corbier, a traditional house in the region, for a champagne tasting. This tasting will be complemented by a traditional lunch featuring three different local dishes.

After lunch, we'll tour a family winery and taste handcrafted champagnes.

Finally, we will return to Reims train station, completing the tour after a total of 6.5 hours.
