Luis was fantastic with...
Luis was fantastic with the group. He was so happy and passionate to share his knowledge about champagne growing and the whole region. We got to visit and do tastings at small maisons du champagne which was cool to keep it local and see the small batch production. The place we had lunch was great, it was arranged for us and we each paid our own tab, super easy. I’m filling this out at the Moet & Chandon in Epernay where Luis left us to enjoy on our own. Highly recommend taking a tour with this company!

Over priced
Guide turned up late. We drove down Champaign Ave & only asked if we wanted to be dropped off there or at station while guide was driving around roundabout to station. Felt rushed & had bought wine at wineries with nowhere to leave them if we wanted to look at Champagne Ave. This overpriced tour didn't even include train tickets back to Reims.
via Tripadvisor
Amazing!
Caroline was an excellent host! We got to taste some of the most unique Champagne's and drive through the countryside of vineyards. Thank you so much for an incredible experience! We can't wait to return!

Louis what’s a great tour...
Louis what’s a great tour with a lot of historical information. The wineries were very intimate and unique. We had a bit of confusion within our family as to where our final destination was to end.
via Viator
Poor Value
The tour is severely overpriced. Two wineries, a ride, and a guide forr $499 for two people. That's too much. Lunch should have been provided as well as a ride back to Reims.

Exclusive Champagne Cellars & Dom Perignon Vineyards tour - Reims: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reims.
How much does Exclusive Champagne Cellars & Dom Perignon Vineyards tour - Reims cost?
+
Prices start at $240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reims usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Exclusive Champagne Cellars & Dom Perignon Vineyards tour - Reims take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Reims is not rushed.
Is Exclusive Champagne Cellars & Dom Perignon Vineyards tour - Reims worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reims, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Exclusive Champagne Cellars & Dom Perignon Vineyards tour - Reims?
+
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 Exclusive Champagne Cellars & Dom Perignon Vineyards tour - Reims suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Exclusive Champagne Cellars & Dom Perignon Vineyards tour - Reims?
+
Around 19 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 Reims 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 Reims and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Exclusive Champagne Cellars & Dom Perignon Vineyards tour - Reims 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 Reims 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 Reims?
+
On Outty we rank every Reims experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group - Full Day Champagne Tour 3 Small Champagne Growers, Small Group - Half Day Champagne Tour - Visit of 2 Small Producers/Growers, Reims or Epernay: Full day Champagne Mumm, family grower & lunch. 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 Reims?
+
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 Reims?
+
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.
