Private Tour in Epernay and Champagne Tastings from Paris
A full day exploring the cellars, vineyards, and traditions behind France's most celebrated sparkling wine.
This private Champagne region tour from Paris takes you deep into the heart of French wine culture, combining a guided visit to one of the world's most iconic Champagne houses with tastings at smaller, family-run estates. The experience is fully private, ensuring a relaxed and personal day in the countryside.
Departing from central Paris in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus, you travel east to the town of Epernay, home to the famous Avenue de Champagne. Your guide provides context on the region's history and the unique production methods that set Champagne apart from other sparkling wines.
The itinerary balances scale and intimacy. A visit to a major house such as Moet and Chandon introduces the industrial precision behind global Champagne production. A subsequent stop at a smaller, family-owned estate offers a more personal perspective, with tastings in a relaxed setting and direct conversation with the producers.
A three-course French lunch at a local restaurant is included, giving you time to reflect on the morning's tastings and sample regional cuisine before the afternoon visits. Round-trip hotel transportation is provided throughout, so logistics are handled from start to finish.
