“The tour and guide were both very nice. Unfortunately due to the construction work going on inside the cathedral was distracting. No reflection on the guide.”

Small-group Champagne day trip from Reims with 3 family estates, 9 tastings, Hautvillers and Épernay sights, plus lunch.
“Absolutely lovely day made all the better by the insights from our guide. Great lunch restaurant and introduction to organic champagnes. Really loved both champagne producers we visited! Highly recommend!”
Ride e-bikes through Champagne vineyards from Epernay to Hautvillers, then enjoy cellar tastings and a classic lunch at Le Clos Corbier.
“Enjoyed the cycling and seeing the different vineyards especially in such a small area. Champagne Ave was surreal. Visiting the church of Dom Perignon was great too. Thomas was informative and helpful and our group was really friendly and enjoyable. Nice French lunch”
A 2-hour city-center stroll through Reims squares, ending at Sacrée Marianne for Champagne tasting or a non-alcoholic option.
“Très bonne visite qui permet de voir une bonne partie de Reims avec des explications et anecdotes qu'on n'aurait pas eues si on avait visité seules. Guide passionnée, je recommande cette visite si vous n'avez pas trop le temps de visiter Reims. Petit + pour l'option sans alcool et la super ambiance au marché des halles !”
Small-group Champagne day tour from Reims or Epernay featuring Veuve Clicquot tastings, Hautvillers sights, and a family lunch.
“What a fantastic tour! I learned so much about the process of making Champagne with Suzanne. All of the champagne houses we saw, the tomb of Dom Perignon and the people we met were wonderful, but I think the coolest cave we saw was during the Veuve tour. What a great day and money well spent!”
Reims Champagne day trip with Veuve Clicquot tour, 7 tastings, Notre-Dame visit, vineyard views, family grower stop and lunch.
“The trip was outstanding thanks to our guide Pierre B. He went beyond the call of duty showing us a few sights that were not part of the tour. His overall knowledge of the area was exceptional and I strongly recommend this tour!!!”
Small-group Champagne half-day with Angélique: 6 tastings with food pairing, cellar tours, Epernay sights, Hautvillers Abbey, 4 hours.
“Tour was phenomenal. We scheduled on 31-12-2024 New Years Eve day when everything was booked or already closed. Angélique brought us to multiple champagne houses that stayed to support her and us. Great relationships with these people led to a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it and you will not be disappointed!!”
E-bike through UNESCO Champagne vineyards from Reims or Aÿ, with a family winery visit and a tasting of 3 champagnes.
“When my bike tour was cancelled, I was immediately rescheduled for a minivan tour at the same time. So no real interruption in my plan. Our tour guide was excellent and extremely detailed in her presentations. I would only suggest that while driving, she could have worn a mic so we could hear her more easily in the back seat. I totally recommend à la francaise tours.”
A 1-hour Reims Art Deco walking tour from $12, led by a licensed French guide. Look up at facades and learn World War history.
“Intéressant mais la guide regarde peu les gens. Elle récite son texte par cœur et se concentre pour s’en rappeler mais elle n’est pas naturelle et ne cherche pas l’interaction. Il y a même un monsieur qui a essayé par deux fois de lui poser une question mais elle a esquivé.”
Reims city-center Champagne tasting in a shop cellar. Learn grapes to dosage, then sample three champagnes with a French or English guide.
“Het was erg leuk. Het is in de wijnwinkel van Marie en Maxime, zus en broer. Wij waren maar met z’n tweeën dus alle aandacht en ze legde het leuk uit. Ook waren er veel mensen in de winkel die kwamen wijnproeven, een erg gezellige sfeer. Heel anders dan een tour bij een groot wijnhuis maar voor ons perfect.”
Ride in a Land Rover Defender through Montagne de Reims vineyards, stop for views over Reims, and taste brut Champagne in 2 hours.
“Een privé tour door de wijngaarden, de herfstkleuren, de sfeer, ronduit prachtig! Christophe, de gids nam de tijd om uitgebreid te vertellen over de wijnsoorten, die gebruikt worden voor het maken van champagne. Met aandacht, humor en een persoonlijke touch verhalen over de bodemstructuur, de vignerons, de druivenrassen en hun groeistructuur. De jeep bracht ons naar uitkijkpunten om van het panorama te genieten, op de achtergrond het geluid van drijvers, het jachtseizoen is begonnen. En dat met een verrukkelijke champagne, de herfst op z’n mooist. Absoluut een topervaring, dank je!”
Pick a kind of day and see what France does best.
