Having met your friendly guide it is time to set off on a drive through the Champagne vineyards.

Your journey continues on to the historical village of Hautvillers, birthplace of Champagne and a visit to the church where the famous monk Dom Pérignon is buried.
Next, head towards Epernay for a drive along one of the most famous roads in the world, the Champagne Avenue in Epernay.

No tour of Champagne is complete without a visit to a Champagne house! We invite you to explore the authenticity of two family-run Champagne houses. We select the best Champagne growers so you can discover great value in Champagne.
Visiting the Champagne houses, you will be guided through the cellars, tour the traditional press and tank room and learn about the traditional Champagne method as you go. And of course; taste Champagne! You will enjoy several tastings of their own production and acquire tasting knowledge and expertise with these rare Champagnes!
