What ever your level of appreciation for Champagne we will adapt the tour make it special for you. I am the owner operator, an expert in Champagne, WSET level 3 in progress, and native English speaker. Never scripted, always personalised, we simply love to share the best about Champagne and have you make unforgettable memories on your day trip. Come alone, couples, groups of friends, and families. There will be some history, some culture, some vineyards to explore, and a lot to learn about the processes. The highlight is of course tasting the various champagnes after learning about them. It all makes sense when you are there! You will never look at champagne in the same way after this tour. Meet some producers, be amazed by the big houses, and if you're there at harvest you'll experience the amazing juice coming off a press!
Larger groups pay less per person.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 13.
Departure from Starbuck’s Odeon where you could have a café and croissant while waiting to Champagne.
A recently restored Cathedral where most kings since Clovis were crowned is a true moment to discover. All stained glass was replaced with classic works up until two notable artists modernised the stories to be told. Marc Chagall miraculously kept his style and Imi Knoebel will wow you with impressive cubic colour. I will tell you some details so that when you arrive you'll do a fairly quick tour and know what to look for.
Depending on scheduling possibilities, a mid to big producer visit will start your day. It could be Lanson (one of my favourites) Pommery, Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot, Mumm, if in the morning. In the afternoon it could be Mercier, Boizel, Moet & Chandon (often full) Charles Mignon, or Nicolas Feuillatte in Chouilly. If none are available there are lots of smaller ones to visit with great champagnes to taste. The longer you book in advance the more chance there will be of having a place at the more popular houses. Each house has something unique, especially in the way of their cellars.
Where the idea of Champagne was born. Still to this day the methods written by Dom Pierre Perignon hold true. The church has a very important part in history. This will be a guided tour short enough but important in the understanding of Champagne and its history. We'll drive through the picturesque village and go to the picnic area to make pictures or have a picnic and or drink some champagne.
We'll take a drive up the richest avenue in the world. You'll have your lunch options here with some time to on your own. I'll point out the best places, which we will have done on the way to Reims. IF there is nice weather, a picnic can be chosen on the most fabulous viewpoint at Hautvillers. Lunch would in that case be picked up at a local bakery. Table cloth, glasses and everything is ready for that choice.
Visit a small producer in a very up front intimate tour. Often this is the highlight of the day! You'll learn a lot, see a lot, and taste a lot.
Return trip to Paris. Traffic is typically good until around EuroDisney, after it can and usually is very dense. You can be dropped off at or before Notre Dame Cathedral on our way back via Rive Droite from Pont d'Austerlitz or the pick up point.

Had a great time. Neil was a great host and very informative. We learned a lot about the region and the process of making champagne. Champagne tastings were great.
Special day indeed as we visited a new small grower maker. Excellent champagnes, even a taste of Ratafia to end an exceptional day. Your co-partners on this trip were also well aligned which added to the fun. This was one of my favourite day this season thanks to you.
We booked very last minute and it was super easy and a great way to see the city and the villages as well as learn so much about champagne. Would cater to all levels of interest and knowledge.
What a great day we had. Your enthusiasm for learning and appreciating the tradition and culture of the Champenois/e the beautiful villages, Cathedral in Reims and of course your tours of the big house Lanson and small producer in Cumieres. Lifetime memories well made, maybe see you again in the future! Neil for CTT
Our champagne tasting tour was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, it was such a fun and memorable experience. The tour was well organized, the scenery was beautiful, and the champagne tastings were fantastic. Neil made learning about Champagne interesting and enjoyable without ever feeling overwhelming. We loved getting to experience the region, learn about the champagne making process, and, of course, taste some amazing champagne along the way! We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable experience. 10/10 recommend!
Your passion for the world's best sparkling added so much to our day. Glad to have taken you to Moët & Chandon to see Napolean's bi-corne, as well of a tasting of some rare and precious vintages. I am always honoured to be in the presence for a long day of wonderful people. Thanks again!
