Private Mercedes Day Trip from Paris: Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Hautvillers, Reims
A private Mercedes collects you from your Paris hotel for a day in Champagne built around two big names: Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot. Both cellar visits are guided in English by the houses' own staff, and each ends with tastings. Two versions are sold, the Most Popular and the Advanced option, and the itinerary spells out what each includes at each house. A restaurant reservation can be arranged for lunch, which is part of the day but paid separately. One point matters before booking. The driver is a chauffeur, not a guide. He keeps the timetable, gets you to every stop and provides the entrance tickets. A live guide for the whole trip can be added for a surcharge, booked in advance.
