Description
Embark on a day trip from Paris to Épernay to explore breathtaking vineyards and prestigious champagne houses. Visit Hautvillers village, made famous by Dom Pérignon, and enjoy delicious tastings.
Discover the secrets of how the king of wines is made. This full-day trip from Paris takes you to the French Champagne region to immerse yourself in the effervescent culture of this remarkable drink.
The first stop on your champagne tour is a visit to one popular champagne house, Moet & Chandon, Mercier or Taittinger on the sparkling hillsides of Épernay. Moët & Chandon was established in 1743, and their champagne became famous in the 1750s when King Louis XV demanded sparkling wine.
From there, your tour continues to the village of Hautvillers, located just north of Épernay on the banks of the bubbling river Marne. Hautvillers is where Dom Pérignon worked to improve the quality of wine and champagne in the 1670s.
Continuing north, your guide will take you for champagne tastings at a family producer.
