CHAMPAGNE TOUR GUIDE IN REIMS
The Champagne Tour Co. has provided expert trip planning for private tours of the famous Prestige Houses & family vineyards for nearly 20 years. Our tours are both designed to provide an enriching experience that caters to varying levels of interest and expertise in Champagne.
Classic Day Tours
Starting around 9am or 1:45pm, you can enjoy the region's highlights on a cellar tour at a famous house, like Moet et 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 Perignon's Abbey in Hautvillers or Reims Cathedral.
Wine Lovers Tours
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 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.

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.
