Try the world’s premier luxury beverage right from the wineries where it’s made on a tour from Paris to the Champagne region.

It is safe to say that Champagne from Champagne (the only true version of the beverage) is the drink most associated with luxury and success. From Formula One drivers dousing everybody in sight after a victory, to toasting a major milestone in life, there is something inescapably alluring about the name. The province sits northwest of Paris in northern France, and well within easy access of the French capital on a delightful Champagne day trip, especially if you take a tour and let somebody else be the designated driver.

Small-Group Moët & Chandon Champagne Tour from Paris

Touring the House of Moët and Chandon is best with a guide, given that there are over 40 kilometres of cellars belonging to the world’s biggest producer of Champagne. This full-day, small group tour enlightens guests about the whole production process of the lauded drink, as well as allowing for a couple of glasses of bubbly so that you can make sure that the end product is up to scratch. Meals are not provided on this trip, but drinks, samples, an English-speaking guide and transportation are all included. From €199 per person.

Reims Champagne Full-Day Tour from Paris

At roughly two hours from the city centre of Paris, many of the tours to the Champagne wine making region of France last around ten hours. This gives plenty of time to squeeze in a couple of wineries and grab some food before heading back to Paris. This Champagne tour to Reims from Paris combines an exploration of the city’s highlights, including Reims Cathedral, with a deep dive into all things Champagne in some excellent wine cellars. Expect Champagne tasting at two separate places. From €170 per person.

Day Trip to Champagne with 8 Tastings & Lunch

Few tours of the Champagne region cover the drink’s history and origins quite so comprehensively as this excellent full-day trip. Over the course of roughly 11 hours, you will visit three prestigious Champagne houses, experience the workings of a smaller, family-run winery, and stop for lunch with a Champagne pairing. There’ll be an opportunity to pay your respects to Dom Pierre Pérignon himself, the French Benedictine monk whose contributions to the region’s wine made him one of the most celebrated vintners of all time, in between tasting no fewer than eight Champagnes. From €269 per person.

Small-Group Champagne Tour with 3-Course Lunch

This tour also offers plenty of the end product, while also allowing guests to discover three Champagne houses. You can expect top names to be included, such as Moet & Chandon, and Pommery. In total, you’ll have the chance to drink eight glasses of Champagne, enjoy a three-course lunch, walk Epernay’s Avenue of Champagne, and take a winemaking masterclass in the middle of a vineyard. It’s the perfect immersion into the luxury drink. Tours depart on most days of the year. From €299 per person.

Then, under the guidance of an expert tour guide, you'll explore the cellars, learn about the production methods and history of the different varieties, and, most importantly, sample champagne. You'll also continue your tasting adventures to a cooperative or a family-owned estate to gain a deeper insight into champagne production.

Day in champagne region

This day trip was fantastic- because our driver David was fabulous, as was the tour itself. We really loved the first house we visited, as it was informative and the champagne was excellent. Our lunch was excellent at the Continental, which is extra special because we are gluten free and usually we experience difficulty in this regard. The second champagne house was not as great as the first, but it was good. The tour guide at the second house showed us how to sabre open a bottle,which was cool. Personally, I didn’t care for it as much. It was a great day in the countryside of France, to see its beauty and colour. Rheims cathedral was beautiful! The van was clean and comfortable for the drive. David our driver was FABULOUS! You couldn’t ask for a better driver, polite, friendly, informative, welcoming….he made our experience that much better. He definitely was attentive to us, and providing extra help to another client with special needs. You are fortunate to have an employee such as him.

Excellent tour day with amazing guide!

We did our tour on Sep 9 and visited two champagne houses. Thomas, our driver, was patient, kind and helpful. Virginie, our guide, was fantastic! She made sure we had a great time, and worked patiently around a bubbly group of enthusiastic friends. She kept us on schedule without pushing, making sure we experienced and learned what the beautiful region had to offer. She took care of every detail so we could just enjoy, I highly recommend the tour guy and their team. Thank you Virginie, for a wonderful time!

Virginie set the stage for the girls Paris getaway

The Tour Guy was not only extremely accommodating with the requests of 6 girls coming from different parts of the world and in addition to this the level of communication and professionalism was class A. Our tour coordinator/guide in Paris (Virginie) was kind, thoughtful and Professional. She helped the Group stay on schedule and the day was totally uneventful. Best way to spent my Bday with amazing friends while sipping champagne in one of the most beautiful sceneries in France. We as a group learned plenty about the process of Champagne making and walked away with valuable tips. Highly appreciated! Liza Ávila

We took the Champagne tour and we’re beyond impressed with the experience. Our guide, Carlos, was very knowledgeable, kind, and safe on the roads. His expertise was much appreciated. We cannot recommend this tour enough. It is a must!

Elaine Levens

Words cannot express how wonderful our trip was. Our guide, Carlos, was great. He was well versed on the region and all the Champagne Houses we went to. We enjoyed touring three different houses as well as a surprise stop along the way. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone.

« We had an excellent day in the Champagne region of France thanks to My Winedays! Thomas, our guide, was knowledgeable and personable. Our visit to three Champagne houses gave us the opportunity to see a large, medium and small house. Our lunch at the smaller house was amazing! This was a great day! »

We had the best time with Carlos our tour guide who was so knowledgeable, friendly and added so much to the tour experience . We highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a day trip out of the city. The champagne tastings were incredible but the lunch was on another level !

We took a few tours while we were on our honeymoon in Europe and this was the best part of the trip hands down. The small group atmosphere was great and our guide Simone was amazing. The champagne we were able to try was amazing and the lunch provided was awesome as well. The only bad part of the trip was that it eventually had to end!

Tips for Booking the Best Tours to Champagne from Paris

I have been on many of the best tours to Champagne from Paris and I just want to share some advice before booking your trip.

This way you can have the best time possible and won’t have unrealistic expectations.

• PLEASE book your tour well in advance if this is something you really want to do . Because for many wine lovers, the best Paris Champagne tours are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. So, spots fill up fast and you need to book early, especially in the summer.
• The Best tours of Champagne from Paris will NOT be cheap . Yeah, Champagne is very high-quality (read expensive) and so, many of these tours reflect that fact. So, expect to spend $300+ per person if you want to do a tour like this.
• SPLURGE on a top-notch tour. Honestly, I am pretty conservative with my spending. So, upwards of $300 for a tour is VERY steep for me. However, I truly feel that in this instance, the higher price is justified. So, treat yo self if you adore wine like me, and book a luxe tour.
• It takes about 1.5 hours to drive to Champagne . So, plan on spending a minimum of three hours in the car (or train) if you book this tour.
• Given the high price of the tours and the wines offered, refunds are generally not offered if you cancel the tour last minute. So, please please solidify your plans before you book a tour from Paris to Champagne so that you DON’T lose your hard-earned $$$.

My #1 pick 🏆 for the best tour to Champagne 🥂 from Paris is this Day Trip to Champagne that includes 8 tastings and a full lunch . It’s well-priced, all-inclusive, and led by a real expert, so well worth the money 💰 you spend.

Private Tours to Champagne From Paris

1. champagne region private day trip from paris.

⭐️ Rating: 5.0/5.0 (46 Reviews) Price: $195 per person (with 7 people) Duration: 10 hours 📍 Meeting Point: Pick up offered Details: R ead more on Viator Now!

Now, here’s an interesting tour to mull over.

After all, this Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris is easily one of the most budget-friendly private Champagne tours near Paris. And I dunno about you but I am all about saving those $$$.

Anyway, the price per head is crazy cheap for a private tour to Champagne from Paris if you can fill those seats.

Although, you need to note that the price of the tour does not include any Champagne tastings – which I personally think is ridiculous for a Champagne tour but I digress.

Therefore, you’re just paying for the private transport and expert guide service.

As with the previous private tours, you’ll visit one famous Champagne house plus a smaller producer near Reims and Épernay.

“We visited a small champagne house first before proceeding to Moet and Chandon. Phillipe the tour organiser was very gracious and is the one who suggested the small champagne house as well a restaurant for lunch. Being from the region, he knew everything and advised us what to do and what to see. He even took us by the church where Dom Perignon was a monk as a bonus! The car was a six seater Mercedes and very comfortable. I highly recommend champagne tours with Phillipe.” Jem ( read more reviews now )

While there, you’ll enjoy a tour of the cellars that might be shared with other tourists – particularly at the big estate. And, it’s up to you whether you pay for a tasting.

Selecting the Perfect Champagne Tour from Paris

When choosing a Champagne tour from Paris, consider the type of experience you seek and the duration that fits your schedule. These aspects are crucial in determining the enjoyment and depth of your Champagne discovery.

Private vs Small-Group Options

For a more personalized experience, a private champagne tour allows for a tailor-made itinerary and the undivided attention of an expert guide. It’s ideal if you prefer a more intimate setting or exclusive insights into the Champagne-making process.

In contrast, a Small-Group champagne tour can offer a social dynamic and the chance to meet fellow wine enthusiasts, often at a reduced cost. Both options can provide luxury enhancements if desired, so consider your preferences and budget.

Full-Day vs Half-Day Excursions

A full-day excursion maximizes your time in Champagne, offering comprehensive visits to multiple estates, cellar tours, and extensive tastings. With this option, you’re more likely to enjoy a leisurely lunch and deeper interaction with your guide.

On the other hand, half-day excursions are great if you are pressed for time or wish to combine the tour with other activities in Paris. These tours still provide a satisfying glimpse into the region’s sparkling wines, but expect a faster pace and potentially fewer tastings.

Without roots in this cherished countryside, a sparkling wine, no matter its similarity, shall never don the title of Champagne.

A cornerstone of this vinous marvel is its exclusive double fermentation process, which imparts the signature effervescence renowned worldwide. Initially, vintners craft a still wine, and only through a second fermentation does the wine become vibrantly bubbly.

Known for its picturesque Gothic architecture, Hautvillers is a historic village nestled within the Montagne de Reims. This scenic location is also part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, underscoring the cultural and historical significance of the Champagne-making tradition. Amidst this setting, one can stroll the famed Avenue de Champagne, overshadowed by marquee Champagne houses and vast cellars cradling innumerable, silently ripening bottles.

As for the grapes, the key varietals that contribute to the delicate yet profound complexity of Champagne include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Each brings a unique character to the blend, from refined elegance to rich fruitiness.

7 Tips for a Day Trip to Champagne from Paris

Champagne is synonymous with France. After all, the bubbly glasses of goodness originated in northern France and only sparkling wine from that region can bear the prestigious title of “Champagne.” Visiting the home of one of the most famous drinks in the world was at the top of my life long list of dreams, so on our last day in Paris—and the final day of our trip to Spain and France — we took a day trip to Champagne from Paris.

I had visions of sipping fizzy Champagne all day and wandering around the historical region without a care in the world, but the reality was much different. We didn’t realize the region was divided into two cities (and arrived in one when we had a tour scheduled in another), among other bumps in the road. So learn from our mistakes!

1. The Champagne region is about an hour’s train ride from Paris.

The easiest way to Champagne from Paris is to take the high speed TGV train. The region’s two major centers are Reims and Épernay (more on that below) and the train stops in Reims (45 minutes away, about 15€) or Épernay (75 minutes, about 22€). Trains run back and forth all day and tickets can be purchased at the station before boarding or in advance online.

2. Champagne is made up of 5 small areas, but stick to Reims and/or Épernay.

All five regions of Champagne produce sparkling wine, but the towns of Reims and Épernay are the centers of the area. A note of caution: Reims and Épernay are not that close together! We made the mistake of taking a cab from Reims to Epernay and it cost us around 100€!

If you want to see both regions, jump back on the train. It’s an inexpensive 9€ and is much quicker (about a half hour on the TGV high speed train) than taking a cab or the bus.

3. Épernay is like Sonoma while Reims is like Napa.

After our 100€ cab ride to Épernay to tour the Moët & Chandon caves, we made the best of being in the other city and visited a smaller Champagne House (what the wineries are called), called Georges Cartier . Georges Cartier is a smaller winery that doesn’t export to the United States so we’d never get to taste it stateside. We got one-on-one attention and a private tasting of their entire line of Champagnes.

We wandered around Épernay for the rest of the morning (yes, our Moët & Chandon tour was at 9:45 a.m.) and enjoyed the peaceful, small town. It felt a lot like Sonoma. When we finally explored the much larger, more touristy Reims (where we toured Veuve Clicquot ), it reminded both of us of the more touristy Napa. That’s not good or bad, just worth mentioning for those who have been to California’s wine region and have a strong preference for one side over the other.  But…

4. Wine tasting in Champagne isn’t like it is in California.

If you’ve been wine tasting in California, you know that wineries welcome visitors to drink, relax and oftentimes eat. In Champagne, most wineries obviously want visitors and they want you to try their wines, but none of the houses we visited offered any food (which can become a problem after drinking Champagne all day!) and often shuffled us to move on after our tours. In Napa and Sonoma, I felt like I could spend all day relaxing at the wineries but in Champagne I felt like they wanted me to buy a bottle and move on.

Another major difference: Champagne is aged in underground caves so most of the tours take visitors underground to natural vaults created by chalk and/or limestone quarries, some dug out during the Roman times. It’s incredibly impressive. But keep that in mind when deciding your attire because the caves can get chilly!

5. Research what Champagne Houses you want to visit beforehand.

There are a ton of Champagne Houses in the region, so have an idea which ones you want to visit before you go.  This will help decide if to go Reims, Épernay or both. Épernay is home to Mercier, Moët & Chandon (open since 1743!) who also owns Dom Pérignon; while Reims hosts Veuve Clicquot (1772), Mumm (1827) and Tattinger (1734). Wikipedia has a helpful list of houses here or Reims Tourism lists houses . Reservations can be made at most Champagne houses online beforehand.

Bonus tip: With good food comes good wine. In the case of Champagne, it’s the opposite: with good wine, comes good food.  Champagne is home to a dozen Michelin-rated restaurants, so make reservations for those before heading there, too.

6. The region has an incredible past so don’t forget to indulge in history, too.

Because of its geographical position between many different countries, the region has seen a lot of history, particularly in the form of war. The Romans defeated the Huns in Champagne in 451 A.D., many battles of the Hundred Years’ War took place there, and it was bombed repeatedly during both World Wars. In fact, the caves of Veuve Clicquot were once used as a hospital during World War I and the remnants of a hospital cross are still visible on the cave walls. And Reims is actually the place where Eisenhower and the Allies received the German surrender on May 7, 1945.

Reims is also home to the Notre Dame de Rems Cathedral, where the coronation of every French king has taken place, and the Abbey of Saint Remi, the largest Romanesque pilgrimage church in northern France.

7.  Consider taking a guided tour.

We managed to visit the Champagne region on our own, doing a lot of research beforehand. We pulled it off, but not without some hiccups (like the 100€ cab ride). At the end of the day when we were exhausted from getting lost, we wished we would have signed up with a guided tour.

There are plenty online and I’m sure they are all much easier and less stressful than doing it on your own! This Champagne tour and this day trip are the closest to what we did, visiting both Reims and Épernay. Or this one is just Reims while this tour is just Épernay (including Moët & Chandon).

Champagne is such a contrast from Paris.  It’s definitely worth dedicating a day to explore the countryside and taste France’s most famous drink.  While parts of our day trip to Champagne was hectic, it was a sparkling end to an amazing trip through Spain and France .

Can you please post the link for the correct train from Paris? I tried to click it and it didn’t work. Thanks!

Hi Kelli- Thank you for posting this. Very helpful! Question: You mentioned a lot of walking. Is it customary to dress up at the Champagne Houses like it is in Napa/Sonoma? What would you recommend wearing?

Hi Brooke – thanks for reading and mentioning the broken link. It’s been fixed! As for wardrobe, that’s a tough call. I don’t think you need to dress up, but nothing too casual or sloppy. Wear shoes you can walk on cobblestone and stone (possibly damp) stairs, and remember the caves might be a little chilly.

Cheers, Kelli

Hi Kelli! My husband and I are planning to take the train from Paris to Reims. We’re planning to take taxis from the train station, to champagne houses. From champagne house to champagne house do you think it will be difficult to hail a taxi? Or are there taxis located at each champagne house?

Hi Jordan – thanks for reading. I can’t say for certain. When I was there, taxis were not readily available. It may be best to reach out to the Champagne houses to ask them if they have taxi stands nearby or can call a taxi for you.

Hi Kelli, thanks for sharing your experience. To get from the Champagne Houses, was it easy to hail a taxi or transportation? I’m concerned about transformation if my family does a DIY day trip from Paris, versus a tour.

I recommend a guided tour. The taxi from Paris was over 100€. The train was much cheaper, but navigating the bus and public transit once you’re in the Champagne region might be tricky.

Hi there! I found this so helpful but I had a question. I’m going on my honeymoon in September and wanted to visit multiple places and buy extra bottles at each. Is it possible to bring a wine luggage bag from place to place during tours? Thanks!

Hi Kelli! I enjoyed reading this blog. I’m flying to Paris this June and I hope to take a day trip to the Champagne Region. You just inspired me to go to Epernay to visit the Moet and Chandon Cellars. One small question though, if I took the train to Epernay, what would be the best way to commute to Moet and Chandon? And anywhere there?

Hi Patricia,

Thanks for reading my blog. I think you’d be fine to take a cab from the train station to Moet & Chandon or it might even be possible to walk. I don’t remember exactly, so I don’t want to tell you for certain, but I think we walked there from the train. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help! Have fun and let me know how it goes! Cheers, Kelli

Very helpful post. I’ll be there end of June and can’t decide if we should take the train and cabs to the Champagne Houses or take a tour. I really want to go to both Moet and Veuve but I’m having trouble finding a tour that goes to both so may have to train it and hope for the best! Did you find the trains easy to navigate? If you know of any tours that do both, please let me know!

Hi Liz, Thanks for reading! The trains were pretty easy to navigate, but I’d recommend giving yourself some extra time in case you can’t find the platform or anything like that. I don’t know of any tours that do both. If you find any, please let me know! Thank you and have fun! – Kelli

Thanks Kelli, Enjoyed your blog, I would like to do a tour of the trip but, it is expensive, so we are going to do it the hard way, on our own. We will be in Paris in a few weeks, and staying in the 4th arrondissment, what are other places worth exploring outside of paris apart from the usual tourist places in Paris. Appreciate your tips. Thanking you

Thank you! Other than Champagne, we went to the Palace of Versailles, a little outside of Paris. It was extremely touristy and very crowded, so it wasn’t my favorite place but I’m glad I experienced it. Other than that, I didn’t venture too far from Paris, although I wish I had. Sorry I can’t be of more help! If you discover somewhere interesting, I’d love to hear about it! Cheers and safe travels! – Kelli

Excellent, thanks for the tips and comparisons to Napa/Sonoma. This helps a lot for an upcoming trip!

Thanks for all the tips! Looking forward to going NEXT MONTH and doing all my research now XO

Hi, Loved this post, it has been super helpful for planning my trip to Reims/Epernay. I was wondering how much it cost to tour the different champagne houses? Also do you have any restaurant recommendations for lunch while there?

Thanks for reading! The tours vary by location, but they aren’t very expensive. For example, Moet & Chandon was around 30€. (Here’s how to request a tour and more info: http://us.moet.com/Visit-us/Visit-our-cellars ). As for eating, I know there are a lot of great restaurants in the region (including Michelin-rated places) but I didn’t eat anywhere worth noting so I personally can’t recommend any. Sorry! Enjoy France!!

Hi Kelly, Thanks for the great post! If we took the train to Reims, are the tasting houses along the streets like in Napa? We won’t have a lot of time to take cabs out to vineyards if they are far from the train station. Is there enough to do walking around town? Or do you reccomend traveling out of town? Trying to picture what it’s like. Thanks so much! Always enjoy reading your posts:) -Bonnie

Hi Bonnie, We walked around in Reims and found stuff to do, but everything isn’t as close as I would have liked. It’s a cute little town though, so you should be entertained there. Have fun! – Kelli

Are Champagne Tours From Paris Worth It? (Ultimate Guide)

Some of the most popular things to do in Paris are Champagne tours and day trips. But are they really worth it?

Typically, you pay a lot of money for the excursion. So naturally you’ll want to make sure that you are getting your money’s worth.

Luckily for you, I have done such trips and know all about it. In short: Yes, Champagne day trips are worth it! But surely not all of them.

One day is not a lot of time to see the Champagne region, so you’ll need to pick a really great tour to make the most of it. And I am here to help you pick!

Let’s get to it!

Are (luxury) champagne tours worth it my take on it, paris day tours to champagne vs. champagne holiday, champagne day trip with 6 tastings, reims cathedral & family winery from paris, champagne vip day trip from paris with local wine expert private, booking a guided tour vs. self-organized, private luxury vs. group tours, best time to visit the champagne region, conclusion: are champagne tours from paris worth it.

I have done Champagne day trips and also visited the region by myself. And I can definitely recommend booking a day trip to Champagne from Paris if you have the time.

The Champagne is definitely worth seeing, and tasting some of the bubbly should be on your Paris bucket list for sure.

The region is just more than an hour outside of Paris, so if you have a couple of days you should reserve a day for this. I am not a fan of self-organizing a one-day trip (read below why) so I would definitely book with a provider.

But keep in mind that some of these tours offered online only visit one or two wineries that are usually not family-owned.

So it can be a bit hard to find good tours, that will provide you a good inside into the region, and not just a superficial touristic program.

Find below two tours that I think are definitely worth it when thinking about going to Champagne.

Author’s Choice

Champagne Trip with 6 Tastings

• Nicolas Feuillatte Winery
• Family-Owned Winery
• Reims Cathedral
• Dom Perignon Grave Visit
• Small Group Tour

Best Private Tour

Private VIP Champagne Day Trip from Paris

• Expert Guide
• Visit to famous wineries (Pommery & Veuve Cliquot)

If I had to choose between visiting Champagne on a day trip from Paris or going on a designated holiday to Champagne I would pick the latter.

I think one day is barely enough to get a good glimpse of the region, so I would definitely opt for a full-blown holiday instead of a day trip.

If you have the time, combine your Paris vacation with a multi-day trip to Champagne. You’ll want to soak up the charm of the region without being rushed from A to B.

However, going for one day is better than not going at all, so I would definitely say that Champagne is worth visiting, even for a day.

🤩 5/5 Stars (440 Reviews)

Duration : 11 hours

Included : 6 glasses of Champagne, Tour of two wineries, local guide

Overall, this Champagne Day Trip from Paris is my first choice when looking for a great guided excursion.

There are two different wineries included in this trip, one of them the famous Nicolas Feuillatte. The second visit will be to a local family-owned winery.

I totally appreciate that you will get to see a bigger estate and a smaller one, to get a true feeling of the region.

Also included in this trip is a visit to the beautiful Reims Cathedral, which is another added bonus.

Lastly, you will stop by the gravestone of Dom Perignon, an important cultural site for Champagne lovers.

The group size is limited to 8 people, which is perfect in my opinion.

There is nothing not to love about this day tour to Champagne from Paris.

🤩 5/5 Stars (30 Reviews)

Included : Lunch, Visits to several wineries (including Pommery and Veuve Cliquot)

As far as private excursions to Champagne go, this Champagne VIP Day Trip from Paris is my favorite. This Champagne Tour is definitely worth it.

This tour has everything included that you could possibly need: a private guide who is also a vineyard owner, visits to the most esteemed wineries, and a traditional French lunch.

The best thing about it is you can enjoy it without having to be part of a bigger group!

Obviously, private tours come with a price tag. Since you can bring a couple of people on this trip, I feel the price is quite right.

Overall, you can’t go wrong with this day trip – especially since you can always amend the itinerary to your preferences.

There are both pros and cons to booking a guided tour to the Champagne area from Paris versus organizing a day trip there yourself.

While organized tours are generally a little bit more expensive, they have a lot of perks.

The fact that you won’t need to worry about transportation is the biggest one.

Going from Paris to Epernay or Reims by train is easy. Getting around there not so much. Especially between the little villages of the Champagne Region, there is no proper public transport.

Another big perk is availability. Bigger Champagne houses are usually booked up way in advance. Going on a guided tour can help you there for sure since they always have slots on reserve.

The same goes for lunch restaurants. We had such a hard time finding available spots – you won’t have to look around on a guided tour.

Lastly, you’ll want to have a drink or two on this tour. It helps to have a reliable driver or tour guide to take care of the organization and the driving . There is no fun in tipsily trying to navigate back to Paris by yourself.

Of course, there are pros and cons to going with a smaller group or booking a private tour. There are a lot of private tours from Paris to Champagne, and you are probably wondering by now if they are worth it.

Generally, I think it is always worth splurging for a private trip if you are more than two people. This way, you barely pay more than in a group tour.

One thing to be cautious of when booking private luxury tours from Paris to Champagne is these tours that only include the driver. You’ll want a local guide to show you around, and not just a chauffeur that drops you off.

The private tour I suggested above definitely includes a great wine expert who can teach you a lot on your tour. I would say it is worth the money.

Every season in the Champagne region has a different charm.

Especially summer and autumn are considered the peak season in Champagne. Autumn is harvest season, with many festivities and attractions. Both summer and autumn are the most crowded.

I prefer visiting the Champagne region in spring . The weather is usually lovely and the area is a lot more quiet.

France of course is also always a great destination for a Christmas weekend getaway.

In this post you learned about my favorite Day Trips to the Champagne region from Paris and why they are worth it.

Champagne should definitely be on your Paris itinerary, so make sure to put a day trip on your bucket list.

The Champagne Day Trip with 6 Tastings, Reims Cathedral & Family Winery from Paris definitely wins this competition hands down. It is one of the most frequently booked trips out there, and the reviews are raving!

If you prefer booking a private trip, I have also found several great tours for every taste and budget.

If one day in Champagne is not enough, I suggest checking out my 3 Days in Champagne Itinerary.

Another great region in France that wine lovers will absolutely cherish is the Alsace. Their sparkling wine is just as unique, and the Alsace region is great for a road trip.

Yes, Champagne is definitely worth visiting. The region offers beautiful landscapes, fantastic sparkling wine, and delicious cuisine. It is one of the most interesting regions in France, for wine lovers and other travelers alike.

Yes, you can do a day trip to Champagne from Paris. The Champagne region is about two hours outside of Paris, so you can conveniently go there for just a day with an organized group tour or by train or car.

Epernay is for many people better than Reims. The city of Epernay is where many of the most famous Champagne houses are located. It has a certain charm and uniqueness to it, that Reims does not have. While Reims has some beautiful landmarks, the city itself is not as beautiful.

The Champagne region is about 145 km (90 m) outside of Paris. It will take you around 2 hours to drive to Champagne with a car. The train takes about two hours and is a convenient way to get there.

The Champagne Route

Inspiration

Reading time: 0 min Published on 4 January 2023, updated on 16 April 2024

Feast your eyes on over 30,000 hectares of immaculate vines in this world-renowned region of viticulture. The Champagne region is known the world over for the quality of its vineyards and wine cellars , which employ the talents of several thousand growers. Around 80 of the 5,000 independent producers have signed up to participate in the Champagne Route ( Route du Champagne ), welcoming visitors and offering a personal tour of their establishment. Look out for the ‘accueil’ sign outside which signifies that visitors are welcome, although calling in advance is advised. Visits are usually free for individuals, depending on how much you taste and whether or not you buy any champagne to take home! Also look out for the ‘Vignobles et Découvertes’ quality label, set up by the Ministry of Tourism and Agriculture in 2009 to distinguish quality wine tourism sites . Over 500 of Champagne’s sites and services have been awarded this label, covering everything from cellar visits to leisure activities, from museums to tourist offices and from restaurants to accommodation.

The Champagne Route stretches for around 700km across the departments of Marne , Aube and Aisne . There are eight marked trails that lead you to magnificent views from authentic villages, ancient monasteries and imposing châteaux and churches. From Reims and its prestigious champagne houses, take the road to the massif of Saint-Thierry and enjoy a beautiful viewpoint from Trigny , a flower-filled village with medieval ramparts. On the road to the Montagne de Reims, which connects Reims with Épernay, stop at the Verzenay lighthouse , which watches over a swathe of vineyards and now houses the Musée de la Vigne . Discover the Faux de Verzy at the heart of the Montagne de Reims regional park , and from Cumières, embark on the Champagne Vallée boat to discover the vineyards along the water in the Marne valley. Further south on the Côte des Blancs road , admire the panorama of the vineyards from Mont Aimé and enjoy the charms of the flowery village of Oger . In Aube around Bar-sur-Seine with its half-timbered houses, make a stop at Essoyes where Impressionist artist Auguste Renoir lived for a few years – and visit one of the 28 champagne cellars.
