From Paris: Day Trip to Champagne with 8 Tastings & Lunch

Visit a renowned Champagne house and a smaller, family-owned winery or cooperative. Enjoy multiple tastings throughout the day, along with a traditional French lunch paired with Champagne.

Your day begins with pickup from your hotel in central Paris. Meet your guide and settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. On the way to the Champagne region, enjoy fresh croissants while your guide shares insights and stories about Champagne, the region, and its traditions.

Once in Champagne, you will start with a guided visit to a major Champagne house (such as Moët & Chandon, Mumm, Veuve Clicquot, Mercier, Pommery, Lanson, or Nicolas Feuillatte). Explore the cellars, learn about the production process, and enjoy your first tasting.

Then, take a scenic drive through the vineyards as you head to the lunch location. Along the way, your wine expert guide will lead a tasting in a middle of the vines and talk more about the terroir and winemaking techniques unique to the region.

Lunch is served at either a family-run Champagne house or a quality local restaurant, where you will taste different styles of Champagne, like Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs, Rosé, or ratafia (a sweet local liqueur, when available), paired with a meal of classic French cuisine.

In the afternoon, you will visit a second producer (either a family estate or a cooperative) to discover a different approach to Champagne production. Of course, this visit ends with another tasting!

At the end of the day, you will be dropped off in central Paris (for small group tours), or at your hotel if you selected the private tour option, a perfect way to wrap up a sparkling day in Champagne.
