Champagne Day Trip from Paris: Reims, Hautvillers and Two Wineries, 6 Tastings
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
ParisReims and Epernay sit a short drive east of Paris, and this small-group day trip covers the region in one go. The day starts in the vineyards, where the guide explains how Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes are grown and harvested. From there it moves to two wineries, the Gothic cathedral of Reims and the grave of Dom Perignon. At least six tastings of different Champagnes are built into the day. One winery is Nicolas Feuillatte, the other a small producer where the winemaker himself shows the press and the cellars. Between stops there is time to learn how Champagne is bottled and how it should be tasted. Lunch is not included, so the free hour in Epernay is the time to eat.
