Overview

Six glasses of champagne, two wineries and a very early start. This day trip leaves Paris at 07:00 from a set meeting point near Avenue des Ternes and runs about 11 hours, carrying a maximum of 8 travellers in an air-conditioned minivan. Hotel pickup is not included, so everyone gathers at the café address on the booking page about 15 minutes before departure.

The day pairs two very different producers. Between cellar visits the group sees the Abbey at Hautvillers, where Dom Perignon is buried, the Cathedral in Reims, and the town of Epernay. An expert local guide stays with the group the whole way.

Lunch and drinks at lunch are not included, so travellers cover their own food during the day. Reviewers frequently praise the guides and say the contrast between the big house and the small producer is what teaches them how champagne is actually made. It suits adults and families with children aged 7 or older who can handle a long day with a fair amount of van time.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape the day, from the 07:00 start to the lack of lunch on the ticket.

Arrive early. The tour leaves sharp at the appointed time and the listing asks travellers to be at the café at least 15 minutes before. The driver-guide pulls up in a grey minibus roughly 10 minutes ahead of departure.
Bring lunch money. Lunch and drinks at lunch are not included, so budget for your own meal at some point in the day.
Dress for weather. The tour runs in all weather conditions and the listing says to dress appropriately.
Expect van time. One reviewer called it a long day with lots of riding in the van. The full circuit takes about 11 hours, so travellers should be comfortable on the road between Paris and the region.
Small group feel. The cap is 8 travellers, and reviewers describe a personal, friendly atmosphere with guides who explain the champagne process throughout. Some found the van comfortable for 6 or 7 and felt 8 was a squeeze.
Cash for tips. Tips are not included. The operator notes that guides prefer cash, though they also accept bottles of good wine.

Common issues. It is a long day, roughly 11 hours door to door, and one reviewer flagged the amount of time spent in the van. Another felt the van was comfortable for 6 or 7 passengers but tight at the maximum of 8. A few reviewers preferred the family winery and found the large cooperative stop somewhat sterile by comparison. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, is not recommended for pregnant travellers, and children must be at least 7 years old. Cancel inside 24 hours of the start time and there is no refund.
