Excursion d'une journée avec dégustation de champagne au départ de Paris
Description
Quel que soit votre niveau d'appréciation pour le Champagne, nous adapterons la visite pour le rendre spécial pour vous. Je suis propriétaire opérateur, expert en Champagne et anglophone de souche. Jamais scénarisé, toujours personnalisé, nous aimons simplement partager le meilleur du Champagne et vous faire passer des souvenirs inoubliables lors de votre excursion d’une journée. Venez seul, en couple, en groupe d'amis et en famille. Il y aura un peu d'histoire, de culture, de vignobles à explorer et beaucoup à apprendre sur les processus. Le clou est bien sûr de déguster les différents champagnes après en avoir pris connaissance. Tout est logique quand vous êtes là! Vous ne regarderez plus jamais le champagne de la même manière après cette visite. Rencontrez des producteurs, laissez-vous émerveiller par les grandes maisons, et si vous êtes là à la récolte, vous ferez l'expérience du jus incroyable sortant d'une presse!
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Départ de Starbuck’s Odeon où vous pourrez prendre un café et un croissant en attendant la Champagne.
Une cathédrale récemment restaurée où la plupart des rois depuis Clovis ont été couronnés est un vrai moment à découvrir. Tous les vitraux ont été remplacés par des œuvres classiques jusqu'à ce que deux artistes notables modernisent les histoires à raconter. Marc Chagall a miraculeusement gardé son style et Imi Knoebel vous épatera avec une couleur cubique impressionnante. Je vais vous dire quelques détails pour qu'à votre arrivée vous fassiez un tour assez rapide et sachiez quoi chercher.
Selon les possibilités de planning, une visite de mi à gros producteur commencera votre journée. Ça pourrait être Lanson (un de mes préférés) Pommery, Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot, Mumm, si c'était le matin. L'après-midi, ce pourrait être Mercier, Boizel, Moet & Chandon (souvent plein) Charles Mignon, ou Nicolas Feuillatte à Chouilly. S'il n'y en a pas, il y en a beaucoup de plus petits à visiter avec de grands champagnes à déguster. Plus vous réservez à l'avance, plus il y aura de chances d'avoir une place dans les maisons les plus populaires. Chaque maison a quelque chose d'unique, en particulier dans la manière de leurs caves.
Là où est née l'idée du Champagne. Encore aujourd'hui, les méthodes écrites par Dom Pierre Pérignon sont valables. L'église a un rôle très important dans l'histoire. Ce sera une visite guidée assez courte mais importante dans la compréhension de la Champagne et de son histoire. Nous traverserons le village pittoresque et irons à l'aire de pique-nique pour faire des photos ou faire un pique-nique et/ou boire du champagne.
On va monter sur l'avenue la plus riche du monde. Vous aurez vos options de déjeuner ici avec un peu de temps à vous-même. Je vous indiquerai les meilleurs endroits, ce que nous aurons fait sur le chemin de Reims. S'il fait beau, un pique-nique peut être choisi sur le plus fabuleux point de vue d'Hautvillers. Le déjeuner serait dans ce cas pris dans une boulangerie locale. Nappe, verres et tout est prêt pour ce choix.
Visitez un petit producteur dans une visite intime très avant. Souvent, c'est le moment fort de la journée! Vous apprendrez beaucoup, verrez beaucoup et goûterez beaucoup.
Voyage de retour vers Paris. La circulation est généralement bonne jusqu'à environ EuroDisney, après quoi elle peut être très dense et l'est généralement. Vous pouvez être déposé à ou avant la cathédrale Notre-Dame sur le chemin du retour par la Rive Droite depuis le Pont d'Austerlitz ou le point de ramassage.

Amazing full day Champagne experience to several different locations. Neil adjusted the tour to try a new house tour. It was absolutely Perfect! He is very knowledgeable with all the vineyards and took us to the best little spot in France. Highly recommend this trip if you have a day to sightsee.
A perfect day for everyone to discover new things, new experiences. Your enthusiasm for the whole trip what ever the subject was outstanding. What is great about sharing with clients like you is about learning and sharing. Exactly what we did with class! Who knows perhaps we'll see you again!
This was a great experience! Very informative and felt personalized. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Champagne.
What an exceptional day to have you and family out in the blazing sun meanwhile sipping lots of cold bubbly. It was fun to introduce you to the magic of Champagne, the land, vineyards, big and small producers. Come back any time, love to see you again. Neil for CTT
Neil provided an exceptional experience! He was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, yet it felt like we knew him forever. The scenery was amazing and we learned a lot about the details of the Champagne-making process. We had a wonderful lunch and tasted some delicious Champagne. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and introducing you to the Champagne region, its history, and the fascinating process behind making Champagne. I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed the scenery, the lunch, and of course the tastings! Meeting wonderful guests like you is one of the best parts of what I do, and I’m very grateful for your recommendation. I hope the memories — and perhaps a few bottles! — will bring back good moments from your visit to Champagne. Wishing you all the best and see you soon. Neil for CTT
We had the most wonderful day with Neil on this champagne tasting excursion! HIGHLY recommend! Neil took us to two champagne producers-- 1 large and 1 small-- both were beautiful, informative and welcoming, and the champagnes we tasted were wonderful! Not only did we learn a lot through the tours at each of the wineries, Neil also shared his extensive knowledge of the champagne industry, the region, the method of production, and so much more. We recommend this tour to everyone who loves champagne!
Your extensive knowledge on wines around the world made our Champagne tour a delightful way to expand your ever increasing wine experiences. We did a lot in one day, had an excellent relaxed lunch, talked about so much, and had many fabulous champagne to confirm all the knowledge garnered. Thank you so much for making this day fantastic! Neil for CTT
Neil was very informative and we learned many new things about the Champagne region, history, and processes. Excellent venues and solid, worthwhile experience!!
Thank you for bringing sunshine on this joyful day with a little rain. It is always a pleasure to be with wonderful people that have vast experiences in other wine regions yet new to Champagne. Your questions were on point really taking the tour to a new level for all of us. A great day with lifelong memories made. Thank you kindly for the reviews. We'd be glad to see you again in the future! Neil For CTT.
Neil was the perfect guide for this tour! He knows so much about the region and about the making of Champagne. The tour is an absolute perfect break from the hustle and bustle of Paris! We got to see so much and learned a lot about the history of the entire area! Do not hesitate to sign up for this tour. It is fantastic!
It was a pleasure to have welcomed you, a fabulous group of long time friends to Champagne. That is the advantage of truly small group tours, like a private tour but easy to arrange here on Trip Advisor. I am always surprised and delighted by how much the walking tour of the Cathedral is. Lanson was new to you, yet I'm sure it will be one of your favourite brands! Thank you again for the lovely reviews. Who knows perhaps you'll be back again. Neil for CTT.
An amazing, personable tour. Been to France many times, but never had such a nice tour. Amazing champagne house visits and lots of nice history. The picnic lunch and drive through the vineyards put the day over the top. Don’t hesitate to book this tour.
You made the day very special, great humour, singing songs along the way, with exceptional weather to have a classy picnic on the viewpoint in Hautvillers. I knew from the start you'd be making lifetime memories on a day out in Champagne. Thank you for a wonderful comment. Neil for CTT.
We had the most incredible day with Neil and truly can’t recommend this experience enough. From start to finish, everything felt seamless, thoughtful, and completely personalized for our family. Neil struck the perfect balance of being knowledgeable and engaging without ever feeling overly scripted. We learned so much about the region and champagne, but it also felt relaxed and fun the entire time. He made the day feel really special for us, which is not easy to do with a group that included both adults and kids. What stood out most was how much he genuinely cared about making it a great experience. Every detail was handled, and we were able to just enjoy the day together. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. If you’re considering a champagne tour, book with Neil. You will be so glad you did.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. Family custom tours are a special opportunity to formulate a day targeting the desires of all involved including me! Luckily the weather was exceptional. We were able to do more than expected thanks to your flexibility in timing. What a way to start off the season! You never know, perhaps you or friends will be back again> Kindest regards Neil for CTT
Neil was a friendly and very knowledgeable guide. The vehicle was clean, comfortable and on time. The tour included the Notre Dame Cathedral in Reims, which is spectacularly beautiful with amazing stained glass and is a must see. The Champagne tastings were outstanding both in quality and quantity and included a memorable tour of a small family owned producer. We have been on many tours and this is as good as it gets.
Thank you for making this tour a great way to finish the season. Outside of tasting the rarest varietals of grapes (Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc) non Malolactic conversion at Lanson both Black creation and Rosé) but also tasted some of the very grapes still on the vines that go into making champagne. Along the road we saw at least 50 dear 2 ducks, 1 goose, and 2 pheasants. To top it off checked in at Moët & Chandon to find Napolean's bi-corne beaver hat was still in the display window! Great memories with wonderful people. Neil for CTT.
Neil goes above and beyond to maximize your experience. We took our time and enjoyed a relaxing but educational and pleasant journey through the Champagne region and a lovely lunch. This was our second tour and were blessed to visit three different Champagne houses. This tour will not disappoint. Thanks again Neil!
Truly a pleasure to have you both out a second time, and with family. I was happy that we had customised the trip with the other group to have a special unplanned visit at Moët & Chandon in between. Young or a little older the vibe was making it a fun trip with a little on culture, past wars, current wine making business, and of course lots of fabulous wines tasted. Who knows maybe we could make a private tour with all the sites dedicated to WW1 where capitulation was signed, Monuments where the battle of the Marne etc. Champagne is so much more than just a great bubbly drink! Thank you my friends!
