Paris · CHAMPAGNE REGION DAY TRIPS
Reims is forty-five minutes by TGV and the houses are the reason to go. These 15 compare how many tastings you get, whether a grande marque cellar is included, and what the day costs door to door.
Travel from Paris in a small group of up to eight with guides such as Clément, John, Matthew, or Frankie. Visit a vineyard, Nicolas Feuillatte, a family winery, Reims Cathedral, Hautvillers, and Épernay, with six Champagne tastings included.
“There was too little champaign. Our guide was nice and was attentive. It was nice to see the town and the champaign houses”
Spend 11 hours with guides such as Tomer, TJ, Alex, or Sebastian exploring Reims, Épernay, Champagne cellars, and vineyard villages. You’ll visit one major house and one smaller producer, enjoy a three-course lunch, taste Champagne in the vines, and tour Reims Cathedral.

“Our private tour of the Champagne region with Philippe was an absolute pleasure. He picked my wife and I up in a comfortable Mercedes van exactly on time at the entrance to our hotel. During the two hour drive to Reims he was friendly and chatted with us and shared some history and details of the champagne making process and also gave us some recommendations for when we were back in Paris. He let us know which locations we would be visiting and he had already made all arrangements. Because we hadn’t eaten breakfast, he stopped so we could have a quick breakfast before our first tasting. In the morning…”

Choose between standard and higher-end tasting options, with guides such as Roman and Vadim noted for attentive service.

“Having the ultimate luxury experience with a great personal driver (Dennis) & guide (Emily) take us to 4 great Champagne experiences was unforgettable! We had an amazing time & they we both brilliant. We felt like millionaires for the day with our own “personal assistant” to organise everything & our driver to swiftly take us anyhwhere.”
Spend about 11 hours exploring Reims and the Champagne countryside with an English-speaking driver-guide. Visit Reims Cathedral, tour a Champagne cellar, taste three glasses, climb Verzenay Lighthouse, and see Hautvillers, associated with Dom Pérignon. Small groups may run, but the maximum is 55.
“We booked this tour because the excellent itinerary was just what we wanted. We were primarily interested in the Reims Cathedral and the tour description promised a guided tour of this landmark. We have more an interest in the champagne and wine making process than actually in the champagne so one cellar visit and the museum at Vernezay was perfect for us. As it turned out, the guide was terrible. We drove to Hauvillers, our first stop - more than 1 hour from Paris - without the guide saying one word literally. We had to ask him his name when we arrived at the village. He gave no commentary the…”

“Honestly, as someone who is super social I love doing stuff like this on my own when you can expect fun drinking and meet new people, however this was not the experience of this, the title was deceiving. For starters it wasn’t clear where to meet and the facilitator was about 15 minutes late which was annoying. The man who was leading it wasn’t French but man did he want to pretend like he was one of them with an angsty attitude. It was not welcoming. But overall the worst part, was you literally get 3 tiny tastes of champagne for a 6 hour tour and it just isn’t worth…”

“Our guide, Brenda, did a great job. She made it feel like we were touring Champagne with a friend. Thanks so much, Brenda! For anyone completely new to Viator experiences, you’ll want to download WhatsApp. This is the primary way guides communicate with you. We sent Brenda some selfies via WhatsApp- that’s why mention this too. If Brenda is your guide, you’re in good hands.”
Travel from Paris to Epernay in a private air-conditioned minivan with a guide such as Victor. Visit a major champagne house, enjoy a three-course lunch, taste with a small producer, and stop for vineyard views. The Champagne house depends on availability.
“We were picked up from our hotel, and we headed straight to Epernay with a quick restroom and coffee break along the way. At each stop, we had tastings and tours pre-booked so that all we did was show up and the champagne house was already prepared for us. We also did a 3 course lunch at a local restaurant. The trip was very well organized and I could not have planned it any better myself. We concluded the day at a small local producer for an intimate tasting before heading back to Paris.”
