DESCRIPTION
Day Trip to Champagne from Paris
This day tour will begin by picking you up at your hotel or at a meeting point in the center of Paris. After that, prepare yourself for the scenic drive through the France countryside in an air-conditioned minivan. While you enjoy tasty croissants on your way to the champagne region, your guide will provide you with all the important information about the region.
Once you arrive in Champagne, start your day tour with a visit to a very prestigious Estate (Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon, Mercier, depending on supplier availability). Discover numerous galleries filled with bottles and, of course, finish the guided tour with a tasting.
While you travel by an air-conditioned minivan, marvel at the landscapes and stop in the heart of the vineyard for a masterclass guided by a wine expert. He will teach you the basics of professional wine tasting. Then, you will be able to practice by enjoying a special Cuvee.
The next stop of this day trip will be lunch in a family-run champagne House or at the local restaurant (depending on availability). Taste several glasses of Champagne and ratafias (local wine) paired with delicious local food.
After lunch, enjoy a walk through the vineyard of the Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. Learn the characteristics of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, and enjoy incredible views over the vineyard. Also, don’t miss the opportunity to take some photos of this beautiful landscape! Then, you will head to Hautvillers, a typical French village and the home of the legendary Dom Pérignon.
Lastly, you will visit another family-run winery where you will have an opportunity to learn the art of sabrage (a unique technique for opening a champagne bottle), depending on availability.
