Champagne,
Epernay & Reims - 10 hours
Personal
tours with your own expert driver-guide from Paris
Escorted by your expert driver-guide, drive along the
beautiful Route touristique du Champagne into the
heart of Champagne country, one of France's most beautiful regions.
There you will discover the history and secrets of this
exquisite drink; the process of double fermentation carried
out in cool, underground galleries built by the Romans,
where millions of bottles of Champagne lie in racks, waiting
to reach maturity.
Enjoy a guided visit of Moet & Chandon; see the
chalk caves where the wines are stored, the winepresses and
the fermentation room. Afterwards there will be Champagne
tasting - learn the expert's method to open, serve and drink
Champagne. We then visit another cellar using different
methods of preparation before travelling on to
Hautvillers, the village where Dom Perignon invented
Champagne. See the chapel and convent with its magnificent
view of the Champagne Valley and the Pinot Noir,
Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay vineyards. Visit Dom Perignon
or Taittinger.
Your day also includes a visit to the city of Reims
with its famous cathedral - the traditional site of the
coronation of French kings since 816 when the first
Carolinian king was crowned. Since then 25 French kings have
followed. In this splendid cathedral, marvel at the
beautiful stained-glass windows by Chagall before
your return to Paris.
At Moet & Chandon we can have a private room for
Champagne tasting.
Your
tour guide will collect you by car from your Paris
hotel.
