TOP Champagne Wineries Tour & Tasting to book
The Champagne region, located just 45 minutes by TGV from Paris, is home to the world's most prestigious Champagne houses and hundreds of independent growers. The best way to discover this legendary wine region is to visit the famous cellars, walk through the UNESCO-listed chalk caves known as crayères, and enjoy a tasting of exceptional cuvées.
In Reims, iconic houses like Pommery, Taittinger, Veuve Clicquot and Ruinart welcome visitors for guided cellar tours — some descending 30 metres underground into Gallo-Roman chalk pits where millions of bottles of Champagne age in silence. In Épernay, the Avenue de Champagne is lined with grand domaines including Moët & Chandon and Mercier, while nearby Aÿ is home to Bollinger and Billecart-Salmon, two of the most respected family-owned Champagne houses.
For wine lovers seeking something more exclusive, houses like Krug and Laurent-Perrier offer luxury Champagne experiences by appointment, and the legendary Dom Pérignon cellar in Hautvillers is a pilgrimage for many visitors. Beyond the famous names, the real magic of Champagne lies in its grower Champagne producers — independent winemakers who cultivate Chardonnay, Pinot Noir grapes and Pinot Meunier on their own Grand Cru terroir and craft small-batch cuvées using the traditional méthode champenoise. From a tasting room overlooking the vineyards to a boutique cellar in a quiet village, these visits offer great value and an authentic window into the winemaking process.
