What ever your level of appreciation for Champagne we will adapt the tour make it special for you. I am the owner operator, an expert in Champagne, WSET level 3 in progress, and native English speaker. Never scripted, always personalised, we simply love to share the best about Champagne and have you make unforgettable memories on your day trip. Come alone, couples, groups of friends, and families. There will be some history, some culture, some vineyards to explore, and a lot to learn about the processes. The highlight is of course tasting the various champagnes after learning about them. It all makes sense when you are there! You will never look at champagne in the same way after this tour. Meet some producers, be amazed by the big houses, and if you're there at harvest you'll experience the amazing juice coming off a press!

What you'll see and do
Departure from Starbuck’s Odeon where you could have a café and croissant while waiting to Champagne.
90 minutes here
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Reims
A recently restored Cathedral where most kings since Clovis were crowned is a true moment to discover. All stained glass was replaced with classic works up until two notable artists modernised the stories to be told. Marc Chagall miraculously kept his style and Imi Knoebel will wow you with impressive cubic colour. I will tell you some details so that when you arrive you'll do a fairly quick tour and know what to look for.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Champagne Lanson
Depending on scheduling possibilities, a mid to big producer visit will start your day. It could be Lanson (one of my favourites) Pommery, Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot, Mumm, if in the morning. In the afternoon it could be Mercier, Boizel, Moet & Chandon (often full) Charles Mignon, or Nicolas Feuillatte in Chouilly. If none are available there are lots of smaller ones to visit with great champagnes to taste. The longer you book in advance the more chance there will be of having a place at the more popular houses. Each house has something unique, especially in the way of their cellars.
90 minutes here · Admission included
Abbaye Saint-Pierre d'Hautvillers
Where the idea of Champagne was born. Still to this day the methods written by Dom Pierre Perignon hold true. The church has a very important part in history. This will be a guided tour short enough but important in the understanding of Champagne and its history. We'll drive through the picturesque village and go to the picnic area to make pictures or have a picnic and or drink some champagne.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Avenue de Champagne
We'll take a drive up the richest avenue in the world. You'll have your lunch options here with some time to on your own. I'll point out the best places, which we will have done on the way to Reims. IF there is nice weather, a picnic can be chosen on the most fabulous viewpoint at Hautvillers. Lunch would in that case be picked up at a local bakery. Table cloth, glasses and everything is ready for that choice.
90 minutes here
Villers-sous-Chatillon
Visit a small producer in a very up front intimate tour. Often this is the highlight of the day! You'll learn a lot, see a lot, and taste a lot.
90 minutes here
Paris
Return trip to Paris. Traffic is typically good until around EuroDisney, after it can and usually is very dense. You can be dropped off at or before Notre Dame Cathedral on our way back via Rive Droite from Pont d'Austerlitz or the pick up point.

Great day!
Had a great time. Neil was a great host and very informative. We learned a lot about the region and the process of making champagne. Champagne tastings were great.
Response from the operator: Special day indeed as we visited a new small grower maker. Excellent champagnes, even a taste of Ratafia to end an exceptional day. Your co-partners on this trip were also well aligned which added to the fun. This was one of my favourite day this season thanks to you.

Beautiful calm interesting experience
We booked very last minute and it was super easy and a great way to see the city and the villages as well as learn so much about champagne. Would cater to all levels of interest and knowledge.
Response from the operator: What a great day we had. Your enthusiasm for learning and appreciating the tradition and culture of the Champenois/e the beautiful villages, Cathedral in Reims and of course your tours of the big house Lanson and small producer in Cumieres. Lifetime memories well made, maybe see you again in the future! Neil for CTT

Absolutely wonderful champagne tasting tour!
Our champagne tasting tour was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, it was such a fun and memorable experience. The tour was well organized, the scenery was beautiful, and the champagne tastings were fantastic. Neil made learning about Champagne interesting and enjoyable without ever feeling overwhelming. We loved getting to experience the region, learn about the champagne making process, and, of course, taste some amazing champagne along the way! We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable experience. 10/10 recommend!
Response from the operator: Your passion for the world's best sparkling added so much to our day. Glad to have taken you to Moët & Chandon to see Napolean's bi-corne, as well of a tasting of some rare and precious vintages. I am always honoured to be in the presence for a long day of wonderful people. Thanks again!

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris cost?
+
Prices start at $434 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 92 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris?
+
Around 32 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris?
+
Included: Pick up and drop off in central Paris; Cellar Tours, small grower Champagne and one mid to big producer. Determined on availabili; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris?
+
Starbucks Café opens at 7 a.m. so if you are early, you have time to pick up a coffee & croissant. I'll find you in front of the café silver Citroen marked Champagne Tours. I arrive at 7:15 more or less. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Champagne Tasting Tour Day Trip From Paris wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
