Epernay Champagne Day Tour Highlights

From Gare d’Est in Paris, it’s off to the Champagne region, where Dom Perignon, father of the house of Moet and Chandon, started it all.

You’ll start your tour day with a drive through the charming Champagne countryside en route to the historic town of Epernay.

First stop there is the historic Moet and Chandon cellars where you’ll have a tour and champagne tasting in their splendid cellars. You’ll learn all about champagne making and learn the story of Dom Perignon himself. An option to do a Dom Perignon tasting (Moet’s top label) is possible on a private basis. Contact us for details.

Next, another champagne tasting and lunch in Epernay. During lunch, you’ll learn more about the champagne making process, the main terroirs of the region and the development of the major champagne varieties.

After, you’ll see the Marne Valley and the former Benedictine Abbey of Hautvillers, where Dom Perignon is buried.

Lastly, with over 1,000 small producers in the region, no visit to Champagne is complete without a tour and tasting at a small family-owned vineyard.

Why we love the Champagne region – Epernay is the cutest town, with the added bonus of having miles of Champagne cellars under the sidewalks. The statue of Dom Perignon, outside Moet, beckons you in to taste and tour. My kind of monk! Added bonus that you see bottles that had been kept aside for Napoleon. – Laura, LinkParis.com
