Embark on an enchanting Champagne Day Trip with our exclusive tour that combines the best of Champagne heritage, tastings, and sightseeing. Your adventure begins with a pick-up at 9:20 AM in the outside forecourt of the Reims Train Station, where you'll find our gray Mercedes minivan parked in front of the Tourist Office to the right as you exit the station.
Start your day by exploring the vibrant City Centre of Reims, steeped in history and culinary delights, before delving into the world of Champagne at the world-famous Grande Maison de Champagne Veuve Clicquot. Learn about the remarkable story of Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, the visionary young widow who transformed the House into an empire, earning her the title of "la Grande Dame of the Champagne region." Discover the secrets of Champagne-making and explore the unique chalk-cellars during your guided tour, followed by a tasting of four glasses of exquisite Champagne.
*Please note that in case of unforeseen circumstances affecting the Veuve Clicquot, the visit may be replaced by one at the House of Mumm or another Champagne House.
Next, immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Cathedral of Reims, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Europe's most important Gothic structures. Admire the stunning stained glass windows and rich statuary as you learn about the cathedral's significant historical role in the coronation of French kings.
Afterwards, enjoy a convivial lunch at a local restaurant, complete with a starter, main course, a glass of Champagne, and a coffee, before venturing into the picturesque Reims Mountain Grand Cru Vineyards. Marvel at the scenic beauty of the vineyards and pause to soak in the tranquility of the countryside.
Finally, conclude your day with a Champagne Tasting & Cellar Tour at a Champagne Grower's Family Domain, where you'll have the opportunity to taste a variety of Champagne wines amidst the stunning backdrop of the Champagne vineyards. After bidding farewell to your hosts, we'll gently return you to the city of Reims, dropping you off at 5:30 PM at the Reims Centre Train Station forecourt.
