Departure from Paris
Your driver-guided tour excursion will begin with a pick-up from your hotel in Paris. Your private guide will be waiting for you at the agreed-upon time and location, ready to take you on the scenic drive to the Champagne wine region.
As you make your way out of the city, you will pass through picturesque French countryside and villages, providing you with a glimpse into rural life in France.

Private Vineyard Tour
Your first destination is a private vineyard nestled in the rolling hills that offers a peaceful and picturesque setting for your wine-tasting experience.
As you arrive at the vineyard, you will be greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable local expert who will take you on a tour of the grounds. You will learn about the different grape varieties grown on the property and the wine-making process used to produce the vineyard’s signature Champagne.
The tour will take you through the vineyards, where you will see the grapes growing in the fields and learn about the importance of the terroir, or the region’s unique soil and climate conditions, in the production of high-quality Champagne.
Next, you will head to the tasting room, where you will sample a selection of the vineyard’s finest Champagne wines. Your guide will be on hand to explain the different flavors and aromas of each wine and to provide insights into the wine-making process and the history of the vineyard.
In addition to the wine tasting, you will also have the opportunity to learn about the history of the vineyard and its role in the Champagne wine region. You will see the ancient cellars, where the Champagne is aged and stored, and learn about the significance of the Champagne cellars.
Lunch in the Champagne Region
Take a break from the wine tasting and indulge in a traditional French lunch in a local restaurant in the Champagne region. This is the perfect opportunity to learn about the local cuisine and sample some of the region’s specialties.
Your guide will lead you to a charming and authentic restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious three-course meal accompanied by a selection of local wines. The menu will feature the freshest and finest ingredients, including seasonal produce and local meats and cheeses.

Your guide will lead you through the ancient cellars, where you will see the rows of Champagne bottles aging and developing their unique flavors. You will learn about the temperature and humidity control required to ensure the optimal aging of the Champagne, as well as the methods used to maintain the quality and character of the wine.
