Based in Epernay, the wine capital of Champagne, this tour may just be the answer for those looking for an introduction to the iconic Champagne Dom Pérignon.
After checking in at the 4* Hotel Jean Moët on the first day, you will be welcomed for an introductory tasting session of five Champagnes in a cosy wine bar in the historic centre of the town.
On day two of your trip, take a short walk along the famous Avenue de Champagne, to reach Moët and Chandon, the largest and grandest Champagne House. Here, a knowledgeable representative will accompany you around the estate and through the extensive cellars on a ‘Grand Vintage’ tour. Your visit will conclude with two flutes of the latest Moët white and rosé Grand Vintages. Please note that this will be a group tour.
Following your tour, you will be taken by a pre-booked and pre-paid taxi to the famous village of Hautvillers, the “cradle of Champagne”. As well as having time to admire the spectacular views across the vineyards and visit the Church where Dom Pérignon is buried. A flute of vintage Dom Pérignon Champagne will be served in a quaint tasting boutique in the village.A light lunch of cheeses and gourmet local delicacies will also be served.
At the end of the tasting, your taxi will take you back to Epernay, where the evening is free to do as you wish. We would be happy to suggest a restaurant for dinner.
As with all our tours, we can offer a whole range of exclusive visits and this itinerary can be completely tailor-made to suit your exact requirements. For example, additional tastings and visits can be arranged or you could even dine as the estate’s private guests in the opulent dining room which welcomed Napoléon himself in years gone by. The perfect romantic evening or get together with friends and family.

I’d like to thank Rachel Pateman. She helped put together an itinerary based on my requirements including a mixture of private tours at large Champagne Houses and some smaller houses. The Dom Perignon experience was unbelievable and exceeded both mine and my fiancé’s expectations. We truly felt like VIPs. From the time I started speaking to Rachel a year before the trip, all the way up to the actual trip itself, Rachel was nothing but helpful and I can’t thank her enough.
