Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Reims

During your Champagne journey, we stop in the historic city of Reims to visit the iconic Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral — one of the most important Gothic cathedrals in France and the traditional site of French royal coronations. You will have approximately 30 minutes of free time to explore the cathedral at your own pace, take photos, and, if open and available, step inside to admire its stunning architecture and stained-glass windows. When possible, your guide will also share insights about the cathedral’s history and its significance to French heritage, making the visit more meaningful and engaging.

Champagne

After visiting Reims, you will continue to your first Champagne house — a small, family-owned producer. This visit is designed to give you an authentic, more intimate look at Champagne making. Here, you will enjoy a guided tour of the estate, including the cellars (caves), where you will learn about traditional production methods and the history of the family business. The experience finishes with a tasting of their Champagnes, allowing you to experience a more artisanal and personal style of production. This visit is an important part of the tour, as it offers a direct contrast to the larger, more commercial Champagne house you will visit later in the day.

You will be served a carefully selected menu featuring a starter, main course, and dessert, showcasing classic French flavors and regional inspiration.

Champagne-Ardenne

After lunch, you will continue to one of the renowned large Champagne houses in the region, such as Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon, Taittinger, or Nicolas Feuillatte (depending on availability). Here, you will discover the contrast between artisanal production and large-scale Champagne manufacturing. Your visit typically includes a guided tour of the production areas and cellars, where you will learn how Champagne is produced on a much larger, more industrial scale, while still maintaining strict quality standards. The experience highlights the difference in style, scale, and philosophy between small family producers and world-famous Champagne houses — giving you a complete understanding of the region.
