Here’s an overview of your tour
Join me on an exclusive day trip to the magnificent vineyards in Champagne!
I will pick you at your hotel in Paris early in the morning. the 90 mn drive will give time to share insights about the Champagne region, the winemaking and the local culture.
As a wine merchant, I have many connections with different vineyard owners and I've actually invested in one myself in the south of France, so I'd love to share my knowledge with you and reveal you the magic of Champagne making.
Upon arrival, we'll make our way to our first vineyard visit. We'll have an exclusive visit to a renowned artisan winery growing some of the finest 1er cru and grand cru grapes near Reims, take a hike in the vinyeards and will, of course, enjoy a well-deserved tasting afterward!
Our next stop will be in Reims, regarded to be the capital of the Champagne wine-growing region. Before enjoying a tasting we can also visit the breathtaking Reims Cathedral.
Reims is also known for its magnificent gastronomy, so next to a delicious tasting we'll also enjoy a traditional lunch along with an artisan Champagne tasting.
Our final visit will be to Veuve Cliquot or Pommery (depending on availabilities and dates) where we'll spend some time in the famous crayères (chalk pits dug in antique times) cellars.
After our final tasting, we'll depart back to beautiful Paris after a great day in Champagne!
Want to personalize the tour to your wishes? Please feel free to contact me - I'm more than happy to help you make the most out of your trip!

- "table experience" at henri Giraud Champagne, in the grand Cru terroir of Aÿ, a marvelous food and Champagne pairing

Extra cost proposal on demand.
Looking forward to meeting you!
