Full description

This private day trip with a guide will introduce you to the magic of the Champagne region, with transportation in a vintage Renault Estafette. Visit two winemakers to sample their champagnes, admire the vineyard landscapes, and stop for lunch either with a picnic or in a local restaurant.

Enjoy transportation from Epernay in a vintage Estafette Alouette Renault, as you travel through the Champagne region to your first destination, a local winery. Sample three different champagnes and learn about the traditional production process.

Next, find the most impressive views of the vineyard landscape with the help of your guide, to stop and admire the beauty of the region.

Stop off for a picnic among the vines, including cold meats, cheese, bread, a dessert with pink biscuits, and champagne. In colder months, enjoy lunch in a local restaurant.

You'll then drive to visit a second winemaker for another tasting of three locally produced champagnes. Learn about the sabrage technique of opening champagne bottles with a specialized saber tool, and try your hand at it yourself.

Finally, visit the Abbey Church of Hautvillers which houses the grave of the famed champagne-maker Dom Pérignon, before being driven back to Epernay.
