Overview

This private day trip from Paris takes in Reims and Epernay in a single outing. The operator handles the appointments at Moët et Chandon and Veuve Clicquot, where the official English-speaking guides of each house lead the cellar visits and tastings. Guests travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver, pickup included, and the whole day runs eight to ten hours.

The route strings together the big names with passes through Hautvillers and Epernay, plus the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims, which one reviewer praised for its stained glass windows and its place in French history. Champagne tastings are included for guests aged 18 and over, with juice or other non-alcoholic drinks for anyone younger. Bottled water is on board and wifi is available during the drive.

It suits travellers who want a stress-free, single-day look at the region. Reviewers repeatedly describe the day as relaxed and well organised, and one noted this was the only tour they could find visiting both Reims and Epernay in one day. Because it is private, only your group takes part. Lunch is not included, so budget for it separately.

Moët et ChandonA visit of 1 hour, 30 minutes with admission included. A guide from the house leads the cellar tour and tasting. The house is closed in January and February, when the operator offers alternatives.
EpernayAround 1 hour of free time in Epernay. Lunch is optional and not included in the tour price.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help the day run smoothly, based on what the listing covers and what past guests report.

Full day. The tour runs eight to ten hours in total, and one reviewer describes a 7.00am hotel pickup. Plan for a long but comfortable day in a private vehicle, with bottled water and wifi on board.
Tasting ages. Champagne tastings are limited to guests aged 18 and above. Anyone 17 or younger receives juice or another non-alcoholic drink instead, so the day works for families with children too.
House closures. Moët et Chandon and Veuve Clicquot close in January and February. The operator offers alternative houses in those months, and also if either house is fully booked on your date, so the exact wineries can vary.
Lunch planning. Lunch is not included in the price. The listing flags it as optional, so plan and budget for a meal on your own during the day.
Guide setup. A private driver accompanies you for the day, while the cellar tours and tastings at each champagne house are led by that house's own English-speaking guides. Reviewers often mention their driver's punctuality and local knowledge.
Weather. The tour needs good weather and offers a different date or a full refund if poor weather cancels it. One reviewer reported a rainy day that was still an enjoyable trip.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, though infant seats are available and the listing says most travellers can participate. Champagne houses limit visitor numbers, so if Moët et Chandon or Veuve Clicquot is full on your date, the operator will offer other houses to choose from. Changing your tour date after house tickets have been bought leaves you responsible for the cost of tickets already purchased for the original date. One reviewer suggested mixing in a smaller champagne house alongside the two big names. Weather and minimum traveller numbers can also cause cancellation, in which case a different date or a full refund is offered.
