The success of our half day tour tour relies on keeping drive time to a minimum and experience time to a maximum. Vineyard visits are sometimes private, however some estates may add a few people to the visit as they have limited time and staff at the time of your tour.
▸ 4hr tours pick up from: 8:45am or 1:45pm

Depending on the season, you might see the harvest, techniques of pruning or grape tasting, the management of new and reserve wines, blending, second fermentation, degorgement. Most importantly you will be able to enjoy multiple tastings! These options are not possible on Sundays when most vineyards are closed.

▸ 2 estates – Full Visit + Multi Tastings

During a half day tour you also have the option to visit a famous House for a guided cellar tour in English followed by a tasting. For half day tours we prefer to reserve the shortest cellar tours available in order to have time for other visits.
The most popular options are: Moet, Veuve or Pommery and Nicolas Feuillatte (from Epernay). Depending on you location, the House, and timing, you may have time to visit a family vineyard for a full visit and multi tasting.
