À La Française's Mumm day starts on the Reims station square: the house's cellars with its own guide, then two family producers and lunch at a grower's table.
Check availabilityIt is seven to nine hours in the vineyards, starting from Reims or Épernay rather than Paris. You visit two or three producers, and most days add Hautvillers, the hillside village of Dom Pérignon's abbey, and the Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, 27 km from Reims.
A day tour is the only shared way to put a big house and family growers in the same day. On the Mumm day, Maison Mumm's own guide takes you through its cellars under Reims, and then two family producers pour for you in the villages. On Champagne Dream Tour's day, the house is Pommery.
The rest of the days are private. Your party rides alone, the guide collects you, and the houses change with your request and their availability.
You taste a house's cuvée in its chalk cellars in the morning and a grower's own wine at the family table in the afternoon. The contrast is the point: a house buys grapes from across the region, a grower makes champagne from its own vines.
The Mumm day, the Pommery day and most private days put lunch in the price, often at a grower's table or in Épernay. Sparkling Tour's day serves three courses with a glass of champagne.
Wine Tours Paris gives you about two hours at each of two estates, with a sommelier or a local guide. A half day gives each table an hour to an hour and a half.
Most full days take in the Avenue de Champagne in Épernay and stop in Hautvillers, where Dom Pérignon's tombstone lies in the choir of the Saint-Sindulphe church.
The main alternative is a half day from the Reims station square. Here is how the two compare, using each listing's own figures.
| A shared day | A private day | A half day | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay | $245 to $321 per person | $525 to $848 per person, minimum two on most | $140 to $183 per person |
| Length | 7 to 9 hours | 7 to 9 hours | 3 h 30 to 4 h 30 |
| Who pours | A big house and growers, or two estates | The houses and growers you ask for | Family growers only |
| Lunch | In the fare on two of the three | In the fare on most | Not included |
| Where you start | Reims station square or the cathedral | Your hotel or station | The Reims station square |
| Best for | A first full day in Champagne | Couples and families who want the day their way | An afternoon between trains |
If you have the whole day and want a big house as well as the growers, a full day is the only way to get both. If you would rather spend the morning in Reims and taste in the afternoon, a half day is enough.
Wine Tours Paris meets at the cathedral's left gate at 9:30 am and ends in Épernay about 5 pm, 150 m from the station.
