A fully customizable private journey through the rolling vineyards and storied cellars of Champagne country


This private day trip from Paris to Reims and the Champagne Region takes you through one of France's most celebrated wine landscapes, combining Gothic architecture, UNESCO heritage, and world-class cellar visits in a single eight-hour excursion.

Your knowledgeable local driver picks you up directly from your Paris accommodation and takes you northeast to Reims, the unofficial capital of Champagne production. Along the route, the landscape shifts from urban Paris to the gentle hillsides and vine-covered slopes that define this iconic region.

Because the itinerary is fully customizable, you decide which champagne houses to visit, how long to linger, and what pace suits your group. Your driver brings local context and genuine regional knowledge to every stop, offering a perspective that no group coach tour can match.

The experience closes with a comfortable return transfer to your Paris accommodation, leaving you free to reflect on the day without the logistics of public transport or shared schedules.

Private door-to-door transfer from Paris with a knowledgeable local driver throughout the full eight-hour journey.

Visit Reims Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site where French kings were crowned.

Explore prestigious champagne houses such as Moet et Chandon, Ruinart, Krug, or Billecart-Salmon and taste champagne at the source.

Admire the rolling vineyards and hillsides of the Champagne wine-growing region from the comfort of your private vehicle.

Fully customizable itinerary so you choose which wineries, cellars, and local sites to include based on your interests.

Moet et Chandon, the world's largest champagne producer, is highly recommended as an anchor visit for first-time guests.
