What you can expect

Join a small-group tour from Eperany to the villages and vineyards classified as Grand Cru and Premier Cru in the UNESCO-listed hillsides of Champagne in the Marne Valley that are primarily planted with Pinot Noir. Discuss sustainable viticulture and vineyard management with your guide.

First, visit an independent grower to learn about the Champagne-making process, including tours of the press, winery, and cellar. Following the visit, indulge in a guided tasting of several Grand Cru and Premier Cru Champagnes produced by the family.

Additionally, savour three Champagne alcohols and aperitifs – Ratafia, Fine de la Marne, and Marc de Champagne from the Goyard Distillery, the oldest in Champagne. Driving through the “Côte des Blancs,” pass the “Château de Saran,” owned by the LVMH group, and the production site of Moët & Chandon.

Take a guided stroll along the renowned “Avenue de Champagne” in Epernay, the capital of the Champagne vineyard, where you'll find the impressive mansions and production facilities of Champagne Houses such as Moët & Chandon, Perrier Jouët, and Pol Roger.

Continue to the village of Hautvillers, known as the “Cradle of Champagne.” Explore the Church where Dom Pérignon, the spiritual father of Champagne, is buried. Admire panoramic views of Champagne overlooking the Marne Valley and the hillsides where Dom Pérignon conducted his experiments.
