Champagne Day Trip from Paris: Mercier Cellar Train, Dom Caudron, Verzenay Vineyard Picnic

A day in Champagne that combines a boutique, a cellar train and a picnic among the vines. It starts at the Moët & Chandon boutique, where purchases are made directly from the producer. Next is the Mercier cellar tour aboard a train, part of the LVMH group, followed by lunch at a typical regional restaurant. A second house, Dom Caudron, pours three Champagnes. The day ends with a picnic in a Verzenay vineyard, with local cheeses, breads and pastries. The group is picked up at the hotel in Paris. The drive to Champagne takes about one hour, and the same road leads back to the hotel at the end of the day.
