“Comtesse Tour” or “Crayères Tour”
Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot owes its legend to Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, widowed at 27 and known as the Grande Dame of Champagne. In these cellars she perfected, in the early 19th century, the riddling table that gave champagne its clarity, and in 1818 created the first blended rose. The visit descends into the UNESCO-listed chalk cellars; the visitor center, opened in 2023, sits beside the cathedral.
Tour + 2-cuvée tasting in early afternoon, return to your hotel or restaurant. Ideal for discovering the universe of a great maison without leaving Reims.
Before or after lunch, chain 2 neighboring Reims houses (Ruinart + Veuve Clicquot, Pommery + Taittinger). Half-day: €300 (~$335 USD) sedan / €370 (~$415 USD) van, visits booked by us, your chauffeur with you in between.
Tight time coordination to reach your business dinner or 7 PM reception. Premium charter (€280 (~$315 USD) / 4 hr): chauffeur on-site during the visit, direct return to the venue, itinerary adjustable in real time.
The price is set by the house and depends on the experience you choose: as a guide, from about €35 (~$40 USD) per person for the cellar visit with tasting to over €200 (~$225 USD) for the most exclusive experiences, and the house also offers private visits on request. The price is paid directly to Veuve Clicquot. We handle the booking, since the house only receives guests by appointment, and our chauffeur takes you there on a private half-day from €300 (~$335 USD) by sedan.
Yes. We build Veuve Clicquot into a private day with your own chauffeur, alongside other Reims houses or a grower in the Montagne de Reims. The chauffeur day is €520 (~$585 USD) by sedan (8 hr); visits and tastings are paid separately, directly to each house. We book them for you, starting from Reims or Paris.
In the early 19th century, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot devised the riddling table (pupitre), which clarifies champagne and remains central to the methode champenoise. She is also credited with the first blended rose champagne, in 1818.
At 1 place des Droits-de-l'Homme, a short walk from Reims cathedral, in a space opened in 2023. The Cafe Clicquot serves a glass on the terrace, with no tour or reservation needed.
The chauffeur and the Mercedes for a half-day (4 hr, €300 (~$335 USD) by sedan, €370 (~$415 USD) by van) or a full day (8 hr, €520 (~$585 USD) by sedan, €640 (~$715 USD) by van), pick-up at your hotel in Reims and the booking of your visits with the houses. Your chauffeur stays with you from house to house. Mineral water included.
No. Our price covers the chauffeur, the vehicle and the booking. The tour, tasting and any boutique purchases are paid directly to the Champagne house. Book ahead if you can, especially from May to October.
Depending on the house and the formula chosen, plan 1 to 2 hours on site (cellar tour + tasting). Your chauffeur waits for you and drives you to the next house: two houses fit in a half-day, three with lunch in a full day.
Mercedes C-Class, GLE or Tesla for 1 to 3 passengers (2 suitcases + 2 cabin bags in trunk). Mercedes V-Class van for 4 to 7 passengers (more generous luggage space). All our vehicles are recent, air-conditioned, with mineral water and USB chargers available.
