Day Trip to Champagne Region from Paris including Moët & Chandon, Hautvillers and a Family Winery

Go on an unforgettable day trip from Paris to the Champagne Region. Your experience begins in Paris, where you will meet your guide and small group of no more than 8 people and climb on board an air-conditioned vehicle to travel to your first stop: Epernay.

The famous Moët & Chandon champagne house in Epernay is one of the largest champagne cellars in the world, with about 17 miles (28 km) of underground tunnels. Let your guide lead you through the underground cellars as you learn about the champagne making process. At the end of your 1.5 hour walking tour, you will get to sample a glass of the luxurious champagne to taste the end product of the process you have just learned all about.

You will have a short lunch break, after which you get back on the bus to go to the Reims Mountain Regional Nature Park. Admire the endless vineyards dotted with countless charming villages on your way to Hautvillers, also referred to as the birthplace of Champagne. Learn about one particularly famous ex-resident of the village, Dom Pérignon, who dedicated his life to producing Champagne and perfecting the process and flavors.

After visiting Hautvillers, you will continue your scenic drive, with your expert guide stopping at several places so that you can take in the stunning French landscapes around you. Your last stop will be a family-run winery, where you can taste 4 different champagnes before heading back to Paris. After your extensive champagne tour, you can expect to understand how the flavors in different champagnes come to be and why the champagne region is celebrated for its high-quality products and breathtaking scenery.
