* 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.

Three packages

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.

Private chauffeur

Why a private driver for your Champagne tour

Taste without compromise

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

Parking & logistics

Parking near the houses, in Reims as in Epernay, takes time. 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 families, executives and public figures who prefer 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; you stay in Reims or Epernay, and we recommend where.

Can you arrange a Dom Pérignon tour?

Yes. A visit to Dom Pérignon does exist, but it is exceptionally exclusive: a 2-hour visit for a maximum of six guests, including two glasses of Dom Pérignon, at €360 (~$405 USD) per person, in French or English, and bookable at least two months in advance. We offer it only as part of a full day with your chauffeur: when a slot is available we secure it and build that day around it, together with Hautvillers (where Dom Pierre Pérignon developed the method and where his tomb lies in the abbey church) and the great houses of Epernay. If it is fully booked, we arrange a comparable prestige-cuvée tasting.

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 (~$315 USD), full day from €480 (~$540 USD). Tastings are paid directly to the houses (€15 to €480 (~$540 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: let us know about the delay, or add the flight tracking option (€35 (~$40 USD)), and we adapt your day to your actual arrival as far as the bookings allow. Our priority is that you fully enjoy your experience.
