The big houses are in Reims, but champagne is made in the vineyard villages: the Montagne de Reims, the Marne valley and the Côte des Blancs. A tour with a driver is the way to see them without worrying about driving after tasting.
The day
Sparkling Tour picks you up at Reims station or at your hotel and travels by road through the vineyards to the cru villages, with visits to family producers and their tastings. The full day, from 9:30 to 18:00, takes in Hautvillers, the village of the Abbey of Saint-Pierre where Dom Pérignon is buried, and lunch in Épernay; you taste about ten champagnes. They speak French and English.
Tips
- Don't drive It is the reason to do it with an agency: every cellar pours glasses.
