  • Discover Champagne on a Private Wine Tour

    Experience Champagne in the most personal and flexible way with a private tour reserved exclusively for your party. Travel with your own expert guide and private vehicle, enjoy carefully selected cellar visits and tastings, and discover the vineyards, historic towns and producers that have shaped the world’s most celebrated sparkling wine.

Whether you want to visit a legendary Champagne house, meet independent growers, explore vineyard villages, enjoy a gourmet lunch or combine wine tasting with cultural sightseeing, private touring allows you to experience Champagne at your own pace.

  • Prestigious Champagne Houses and Historic Cellars

    Champagne is home to some of the world’s most famous wine houses. A private tour can include a visit to prestigious maisons in Reims or Épernay, where impressive underground cellars, historic archives and generations of expertise reveal the story behind each bottle.

    Discover the cellars of renowned Champagne houses, learn about traditional bottle fermentation, blending, ageing and disgorgement, and enjoy guided tastings of carefully selected cuvées. Private tours can be designed around iconic names, premium experiences or a balanced combination of well-known houses and smaller local producers.

  • Family Growers and Independent Producers

    Beyond the famous Champagne houses, independent growers offer an intimate and authentic introduction to the region. Meet passionate producers, discover family-run estates and taste Champagnes that express the personality of a particular village, vineyard or winemaking style.

    A private itinerary can combine a Grande Maison cellar visit with a family producer tasting, allowing you to compare different approaches to Champagne making. Your guide will help explain the importance of grape varieties, vineyard locations, blending choices and ageing in creating each producer’s distinctive style.

    These visits are ideal for travellers who want to go beyond the well-known labels and gain a deeper understanding of Champagne’s people, traditions and terroirs.
