Day 3: Visit Veuve Clicquot at Reims

Visit the exceptional cellars at nearby Veuve Clicquot and attend a degustation of their celebrated millésimes (best years of champagne production). Enjoy lunch at the restaurant in the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims. Seize the opportunity to taste La Grande Dame, Veuve Cliquot’s most prized champagne!

A trip to Reims would not be complete without a visit to NotreDame de Reims, the magnificent Gothic Cathedral, where the kings of France were crowned.

Day 4: Visit Moët et Chandon at Epernay

On the mythic route du Champagne stop at Hautvillers to visit the tomb of Dom Pérignon, the monk who made huge contributions to the process of making champagne.

On these Côte des Blancs hillsides, thousands of local producers grow the Chardonnay grapes that compose this fabled drink. Stop to meet them, learn about their time-honored growing and harvesting methods and, if time permits, sample their champagne.

At Epernay, stop at Moët et Chandon for a private tour of their oldest cellars to gain invaluable insights into the making of this prestigious label. Your specialist guide will demonstrate their processing and bottling methods and explain why Moët et Chandon’s quality stems from the skill of oenologists and the experience of cellar masters through generations.
