On this afternoon tour of the Champagne region, you’ll have the opportunity to learn all about the history and the winemaking process of the famous French sparkling wine.
Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, you’ll start your experience with a visit to a family-run boutique winery, where you’ll get to see the press and vat room used to process the grapes according to the traditional method. You’ll then be invited to taste some of the local produce. On your way to the birthplace of champagne, you’ll have the chance to see Épernay’s Champagne Avenue, named after the many champagne producers that have their headquarters there.
After a scenic drive through the expanse of vineyards, you'll reach Hautvillers. Here you’ll have time to explore the village, including the abbey with the final resting place of the famous monk, Dom Pérignon. To round off your tour, you’ll head to a second winery and sample Cuvée varieties paired with regional delicacies.
