Private Champagne Tours from Reims and Epernay
The Champagne Tour Co. creates private Reims Champagne tours for visitors who want more than a standard cellar visit. Since 2012, we have planned bespoke half-day, full-day and multi-day Champagne itineraries combining famous houses such as Moët & Chandon or Veuve Clicquot, family growers, vineyard visits and tailored tastings.
Most tours start in Reims or Epernay and can include Champagne house visits, family-run estates, vineyard viewpoints, tastings and lunch options. Each itinerary is built around your interests, from first-time Champagne visitors to serious wine lovers.
Classic Reims Champagne Day Tours
Starting around 9am or 1:45pm, you can enjoy the region's highlights on a cellar tour at a famous house, like Moët & Chandon or Veuve Clicquot, plus a pre-arranged private appointment at a family estate to discover the key stages of production. You may even have time for a visit to Dom Pérignon's Abbey in Hautvillers or Reims Cathedral.
Wine Lovers
Designed for enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs with a refined palate, our Wine Lovers Tours offer an in-depth exploration of Champagne's premier grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. These bespoke tours include tailored visits, comparison tastings and educational sessions that delve into the nuances of winemaking - from soil and climate influences to fermentation techniques and barrel selection. Guests enjoy behind-the-scenes access, meeting vintners, learning firsthand about the distinct characteristics imparted by the regional terroir and curated culinary experiences to complement the champagnes tasted.
Immersive Overnight Champagne Stays
Indulge in a bespoke multi-day journey with itineraries tailored for in-depth exploration, combining luxury stays in Reims or serene vineyards with gourmet dining, and exclusive wine experiences at iconic Champagne Houses and prestigious Grand Cru estates. For wine enthusiasts you will have time for specialized sessions focused on varietal specifics and production nuances, enhanced by interactions with renowned winemakers and perfectly paired meals ranging from casual to Michelin-starred settings. This comprehensive approach offers a richer, more nuanced experience than day tours, aimed at deepening knowledge and appreciation of champagne through extended stays and interactive experiences.
Private Champagne Group Tours (9+ Guests)
Our tailored private group tours are perfect for any event from corporate team building to intimate weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. We customize every detail of your tour, including visits to both iconic and exclusive, private champagne houses, specialized tastings, and personalized activities like blending workshops. Regardless of group size, we ensure a comprehensive and educational experience with options for luxury coach or speedy TGV train travel from Paris or local pick up in Reims, Epernay or other locations in Champagne. Lunches range from gourmet meals at prestigious estates to casual vineyard picnics, all adaptable to dietary preferences and budgets.
