Begin your journey in Paris, where a private transfer takes you through the hills of Champagne to Épernay, the world capital of sparkling wine. Check into your private house in the heart of the city, relax, and prepare for the day ahead.
Start your immersion into the méthode champenoise with a visit to an independent Champagne producer in Épernay. Descend into historic cellars to discover every stage of winemaking, from pressing to the second fermentation in the bottle, from remuage to dégorgement. A guided tasting of cuvées will teach you to appreciate the structure, style, and personality of Champagne.
Continue to Hautvillers, the village where monk Dom Pérignon perfected the art of sparkling wine. Here, enjoy a second tasting of the day at a family-run Champagne house: an intimate visit to a cellar, the passionate story of a family of winemakers, and a tasting of terroir-driven cuvées, pure expressions of Hautvillers.
A few steps away, enjoy a refined Champagne break featuring curated local snacks and a glass of Champagne among the vineyard rows.
Return to Épernay and stroll along the famous Avenue de Champagne, lined with the Belle Époque palaces of historic Champagne houses. Enjoy an aperitif tasting at an elegant Champagne bar overlooking the avenue. For those who wish, a short climb to the Mont Bernon viewpoint offers a breathtaking view of the vineyards illuminated by the sunset.
End the day with a gourmet dinner at a renowned restaurant in the countryside, where refined cuisine harmonizes with exceptional Champagnes from the region.
After breakfast and check-out from your house in Épernay, a short transfer takes you to Reims, the historic city of royal coronations and the spiritual capital of Champagne. The highlight of the day is a visit to the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral: a Gothic masterpiece where light filters through Marc Chagall's stained-glass windows, offering an emotion suspended between sacred art and modernity.
A few steps from the square, a refined wine cellar invites you to choose your favorite bottles to take home - the perfect liquid souvenir of this journey. Conclude with a drink in an elegant bar overlooking the cathedral, before returning to Paris in the late afternoon, with your luggage full of unforgettable flavors, cherished memories, and a richer understanding of Champagne’s heritage.
