Families and friends
Champagne house visits and tastings are paid directly to each house. Book them before your trip, as most houses need a reservation.
How should you plan the Champagne houses?
Two house visits and a long lunch fill the day well. Three visits leave little time between them.
- Book visits ahead
The large houses in Reims and Épernay sell timed tours. Weekends and summer fill first.
- Mix one large house and one family grower
The cellars of a famous house, then a small producer’s tasting room, show two sides of Champagne.
- Keep Monday in mind
Some houses close on Mondays or in winter. Check each one when you book.
- Pack a layer
The chalk cellars stay at about 10 to 12°C all year, even in summer.
- Leave room for lunch
Reims and Épernay have brasseries and restaurants that serve Champagne by the glass. Book a table at weekends.

Questions about a Champagne day trip from Paris
How far is Champagne from Paris?
Reims, the main city of Champagne, is about 145 km from Paris, around 1 hour 45 minutes by motorway. Épernay is roughly 30 minutes south of Reims, through the vineyards.
How much does a private Champagne tour from Paris cost?
The ten-hour day costs €895 in a Mercedes E-Class for up to three guests. A V-Class for up to seven costs €1,050. The price is for the car, not per person.
Are tastings included?
No. You book and pay each Champagne house directly, which lets you choose the tour and the tasting you want. We plan the timings around your reservations.
Can we bring bottles back in the car?
Yes. Your chauffeur keeps your purchases in the car all day. If you fly home afterwards, check your airline’s rules for wine in checked luggage.
Is Reims or Épernay better?
Do both. Reims has the cathedral and the largest houses, while Épernay has the Avenue de Champagne and the vineyards. Ten hours covers the two comfortably.
What is the best season for Champagne?
Any season works, as the visits are in cellars. September brings the harvest and busy villages, while spring and early autumn are quieter and green.
