Trip Summary

Essential Champagne Day Tour

In the morning, meet your English-speaking specialist driver/guide at a central departure point in Reims or Epernay, who will accompany you on a full day transported Champagne tour. During the course of the day, your guide will regale you with tales and anecdotes of the history of Champagne and its vineyards, introducing you to the particularities of the region. You will start the day in style with a tour and tasting at the world-famous Moët and Chandon estate. You will also stop at the famous hilltop village of Hautvillers, the “cradle of Champagne.” As well as admiring the spectacular views across the vineyards, your guide will take you on a tour of the village, visiting places such as the Church where Dom Perignon is buried.
