Our Expertise
At the Champagne Tour Co., we pride ourselves on offering a bespoke and highly personalized experience that sets us apart from the competition. Our founder, Larry Davis, a New York/ London native who has spent over two decades in Paris, brings a wealth of diverse business experience and a deep personal connection to the Champagne region. Larry's background as a gemologist, luxury brand strategy consultant, and a creator of an online travel destination company specializing in customized trips across France, Italy, Spain, and the UK, equips him with the expertise to design the perfect Champagne tour tailored to each client's personal taste preferences.
Larry's journey into the world of Champagne is both a personal and professional destiny. From his early lessons on the Wine & Champagne business, including a first lecture given by Remy Krug during his Luxury Brand studies, to childhood connections through his first French tutor, a descendant of Champagne makers south of Épernay, Larry's affiliation with Champagne has always been inevitable.
What sets us apart at the Champagne Tour Co. is our meticulous approach to creating bespoke itineraries. We begin by asking the right questions to understand each client’s taste and interests. This enables us to tailor every detail of the tour to suit personal preferences in wine, travel style, and budget. We leverage Larry’s extensive network, built over 20 years, which includes relationships with over 150 family-owned vineyards and renowned Champagne houses. Moreover, our special access to several exclusive vineyards, not open to the general public, ensures a unique and memorable experience.
Our custom-designed tours take into account your taste profile and are planned to maximize your time and enjoyment in the Champagne region. Whether it’s exploring lesser-known boutique wineries or touring the prestigious estates, we know exactly how to enhance your visit to this illustrious region.

Comments from our guests...
I highly recommend The Champagne Tour Company if you are traveling to France. Larry will ensure you have smooth carefree transportation as well as unique winery experiences with the most knowledgeable guides. Larry also arranged fantastic lunches for us and accommodated our needs across several days. We received far more than just champagne tours!
I highly recommend The Champagne Tour Co. Larry curated the perfect birthday / harvest tour for myself and three guests (ages 30-35). We experienced a fantastic mix of the large commercial and small family wineries. Larry also organized a spectacular lunch! Our driver was wonderful and funny. He kept us on time (very important for us as we get easily
We had a fabulous day! Bryce was extraordinary. The two smaller houses were just superb. So superb we are shipping cartons home to Australia.Pommery caves were impressive but good grief, their champagne is best left on the shelf. Bryce did try and warn us! Thank you again for a truly wonderful day - and pulling it all together within five minutes!
You my friend, are a true treasure of Paris. We look forward to our next adventures with your company when we return.
We could not have asked for a better service. We gave Larry a rough guide of our requirements but pretty much left things to him. Our guide Isabelle could not have been more friendly and obliging and her knowledge of the Champagne area and local history was astounding. We spent such a memorable day visiting different Champagne houses that had been arranged through Larry, it was first rate from start to finish, cannot reccomend highly enough.
