Q. What are the top Champagne houses to visit

Visitors want to know which champagne houses are a must-see for tours and tastings. Large, renowned houses like Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and smaller boutique producers often top the list.

Q. Can I choose which vineyards to visit?
We will select the vineyards we feel best match your budget and preference profile. If there is one vineyard in particular you wish to visit we will try to reserve it if they are open to the public.

Smaller producers, mentioned in the wine press with growing reputations for quality among chefs, restaurants, connoisseurs and the wine press internationally, tend not to want to open to the general public as wine-tourism is not their focus. Most of these sell on allotment to existing clients due to the low production and high quality so they have no need or interest for visits from new customers. These include: Selosse, Mousse, Mouzon, Bereche, and Bonville.

Q. Do I need to book tours and tastings in advance?
Given the popularity of champagne tours, tourists frequently ask if they need to reserve their spots ahead of time, especially during peak tourist seasons or for visits to the most famous or smaller, exclusive producers.

Q. Are Champagne Houses open on Sunday?
Basically, the largest Houses are open. Small family producers are closed for tours in the afternoon and only very few are open in the morning.

Q. What are the must-visit champagne houses for a day trip?
Knowing which champagne houses offer the best tours and tastings for a condensed visit is crucial, with tourists typically looking for experiences that provide a good overview of the champagne-making process and tastings without requiring long appointments.

Q. Can I visit both Moet et Chandon and Dom Perignon?
No. The Dom Perignon cellars are inside the Moet et Chandon cellar complex so you may choose one or the other

Q. Can we walk through the vines?
Visits into the vines are generally not offered because most parcels of land owned by the winemakers are often not located next to the family estate. If your interested in visiting the vines please let us know. We know several vineyards where this is possible on request.
