GO GO TOURS · Reims and Épernay
A minivan picks you up at your Paris hotel for two Champagne houses, Reims Cathedral, a three-course lunch in Épernay, the Avenue de Champagne and a final tasting stop. Book it if you want sightseeing and a proper sit-down meal in one day, with no meeting point to find.
GO GO TOURS built this day for people who want the famous sights as well as the cellars. The van collects you at your hotel, drives about two hours east, and the day opens with a guided tour and tasting at a Champagne house. Then comes a short guided visit to Reims Cathedral, the coronation church of the French kings.
Lunch is the selling point: three courses in Épernay, about 90 minutes, included in the price. The afternoon has a second house with a tour and tasting, a photo stop on the Avenue de Champagne, part of the UNESCO-listed Champagne hillsides, houses and cellars, and a 70-minute "secret stop" for one more tasting. The inclusions mention a family-run winery, so expect one of the stops to be a grower.
What to know first. The listing does not name the houses. It gives Moët & Chandon, Mercier and Veuve Clicquot as examples, "subject to availability". The group size is not stated beyond "small group". It is the priciest small-group day here, mostly because of the lunch and the hotel drop-off. And it is not for under-16s, although the same listing also mentions grape juice for under-18s, so check with the operator if you travel with a teenager.
The minibus collects you in Paris for a drive of about two hours.
A guided cellar tour and tasting. The house is confirmed by the operator, subject to availability.
A guided look at the Gothic cathedral where the kings of France were crowned.
A sit-down lunch in the town of the Avenue de Champagne.
Another tour and tasting (about 1.5 hours), then 20 minutes for photos on the Avenue de Champagne.
A final tasting at a stop the guide keeps quiet about, then about two hours back to your hotel.
Awesome trip with Alex! The champagne houses did not disappoint, and the choice of place for lunch was perfect.
Alex was experienced and the best guide we had on our honeymoon in France!
The small group and hotel pick up was most appealing.
Wonderful trip to Champagne! Alex was an excellent guide and our visits to the champagne houses were exquisite.
