Our ready-to-experience itineraries

Five tours designed to discover Champagne in all its diversity — from the iconic UNESCO houses to the most confidential growers. Each itinerary can be adapted to your tastes, your time and your group.
* The houses and growers listed are subject to change depending on their availability the day of your visit. We will always offer you an equivalent route in terms of quality and reputation.

🥂 Houses of Reims & Epernay

The great Champagne houses we visit

The seven institutional houses of Reims and Epernay, accessible by private visit booked in advance. For confidential grower-producers and terroir cooperatives, see the next section.

🍇 Grower-producers & cooperatives · by wine region

The confidential artisans of Champagne

Away from the institutional great houses, two families tell another story of Champagne: grower-producers (label code RMRécoltant-Manipulant: own vines, own winemaking) and cooperatives (CMCoopérative de Manipulation: several growers pooling fruit and winemaking around one terroir). Intimate visits, often with the grower in person, organized below by wine region. Booking essential — very limited slots.
* Private visits at certain estates are rare and depend on the grower’s availability. We always suggest a comparable alternative in terroir and reputation if the requested estate is unavailable.

❖ Montagne de Reims · Pinot Noir

❖ Vallée de la Marne · Meunier

❖ Côte des Blancs · Chardonnay

❖ Côte des Bar · Aube Pinot Noir

Reading the labels: RM Récoltant-Manipulant (grower) · CM Coopérative (cooperative) · NM Négociant-Manipulant (family house, own vines + selected sourcing). The Côte des Bar lies ~120 km / 75 mi south of Reims (1 hr 30 drive) — best treated as a dedicated day.

Half-day, full day, bespoke

Every package includes the dedicated chauffeur, premium vehicle, personalized welcome and appointment coordination. Tastings are paid directly to the houses.

Departing from Paris

We pick you up at your Parisian hotel

For travelers staying in Paris, we handle the entire day door-to-door: pickup at your hotel in the morning, Champagne house visits with a dedicated chauffeur, return the same evening — or a multi-day stay with accommodation in Reims, depending on your preferences.

Hotel pickup

Parisian palaces and boutique hotels — Le Bristol, Ritz, Plaza Athénée, George V, Crillon, Costes… Your chauffeur waits in the lobby with a name sign if you prefer.

All arrondissements

Same-day round trip

Departure 9 AM, return 7–8 PM: 1 hr 30 min drive each way, 5 to 6 hours on site for 2 to 3 houses, a vigneron lunch. You’re back in Paris in time for dinner.

To go deeper: overnight in Reims or Epernay, visits to grand houses, confidential winemakers, Michelin-starred dining. Hotel coordination and reservations included.

Bespoke
Why a private chauffeur?

Three obvious reasons — and a decisive fourth

🍾

Taste without compromise

French drink-drive limits make real Champagne tasting incompatible with driving. You taste. We drive.

Parking & logistics

The city centers of Reims and Epernay are nearly impossible to navigate by car. With us, you’re dropped a few steps from the gate.

🏛️

Cultural continuity

Between two houses, your chauffeur knows the region’s history — placing every cuvée in its terroir and folklore, by anecdote rather than lecture.

🔐

Confidentiality

No commercial signage on our vehicles. A discreet service for wealthy families, executives and public figures who want to travel unnoticed.

FAQ

Everything you might want to know before booking

Can you pick us up from our hotel in Paris?

Yes, in fact it’s our most common request. We collect you from your Parisian hotel (all arrondissements), accompany you all day through the Champagne houses, then bring you back to your hotel that same evening. On request, we also arrange 2- to 3-day stays with accommodation in Reims or Epernay.

Which Champagne houses can we visit with a private chauffeur from Reims?

We arrange private visits to all the great houses of Reims and Epernay: Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger, Moët & Chandon, Pommery, Ruinart, Dom Pérignon, Lanson, and reputed independent growers on the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs.

Do tastings need to be booked in advance?

Yes, cellar visits are by appointment. We help with booking each house according to your preferences (vintage, rosé, prestige cuvée) and party size.

How much does a cellar visit with a private chauffeur cost?

The price covers the chauffeur and vehicle. Half-day from €280 (~$325 USD), full day from €480 (~$560 USD). Tastings are paid directly to the houses (€15 to €480 (~$560 USD) per person depending on the cuvée).

How many people can join?

Our sedan accommodates up to 3 passengers, our premium van up to 7 passengers. For larger groups, we coordinate multiple vehicles.

Do your chauffeurs speak English or Japanese?

Yes. Our chauffeurs are French- and English-speaking at all times. On request at booking, a chauffeur speaking Japanese or Spanish can be assigned — a service particularly appreciated by international visitors.

Can we combine a cellar visit with sightseeing in Reims?

Of course. Our bespoke package often includes Reims Cathedral, the Palais du Tau, Saint-Rémi Basilica, or a gastronomic lunch between two houses.

What happens if we are delayed at the airport or train station?

No worries: we track your flight or train in real time and will always adapt your day to your actual arrival. Our priority is that you fully enjoy your experience.
