    Excellent 2.5 hour guided walk and talk about everything Champagne

    Eric took us on a tour through Cumières, a small village just outside Épernay, on the banks of the river Marne. He took us up into the vineyards explaining viniculture and stopped in three places for us to try three different champagnes from one small local producer, a Blanc de Blancs, a Blanc de Noir and a Rosé. Each one was different but delicious. He paired the champagnes with ham, cheese and local red cakes. We learned a huge amount about the different grapes and how they are used in champagne production, what bottle labels tell you, and about the effect of the terroir. With many years of experience he was able to answer all of our questions in excellent English. Highly recommended

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! It means a lot to me. Eric

    Amazing tour of Champagne making in Cumieres

    What a wonderful experience! We lucked out having booked a tour with only the 2 of us and had such a lovely time getting to taste and understand the art of Champagne. Getting to taste 3 of the local Champagnes from Daniel Etienne in Cumieres was a special treat having walked through the vineyards where the grapes had been harvested. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in Champagne and how it’s made!

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much!

    A beautiful time in the vineyard

    This was a lovely guided walk through the vineyards in Cumieres. Eric was our guide and he was very informative and kind. We tasted several champagnes paired with local treats. A beautiful day! And only a short drive from Reims. Highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much!

    Fantastic few hours

    We had a fantastic late afternoon/evening with our guide Eric. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made us feel very welcome. The champagne and nibbles were excellent and the surroundings breathtaking.

    Great walk in the middle of Champagne.

    We had a lovely walk with a well prepared guide, Eric who was really nice and had a lot of knowledge about Champagne in general. The weather was also fantastic. A really nice experience, and we also got to test excellent champagne with small bites.

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much!

    Gourmet walk in the heart of the vineyards with Champagne tasting near Epernay: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reims.

    How much does Gourmet walk in the heart of the vineyards with Champagne tasting near Epernay cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 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 Gourmet walk in the heart of the vineyards with Champagne tasting near Epernay take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Gourmet walk in the heart of the vineyards with Champagne tasting near Epernay worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 51 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 Gourmet walk in the heart of the vineyards with Champagne tasting near Epernay?

    +

    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 Gourmet walk in the heart of the vineyards with Champagne tasting near Epernay suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gourmet walk in the heart of the vineyards with Champagne tasting near Epernay?

    +

    Around 18 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gourmet walk in the heart of the vineyards with Champagne tasting near Epernay 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?

    +

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.
