What a Reims Champagne tour from Paris actually is

It is a whole day in Champagne, bought as one ticket in Paris. You leave in the morning by minibus, private car or train, and you are back in the evening. Door to door, the days run 9 to 12 hours. On the road days about two hours each way go on the drive, so a shared day spends around eight hours in Champagne itself.

In that time you visit two or three producers, and most days add Reims Cathedral, the Avenue de Champagne in Épernay or the hillside village of Hautvillers. The tastings are in your fare. Lunch, on most of the days, is not.

What separates the days is who pours your glass. Some pair a family grower with a big house such as Nicolas Feuillatte or Pommery. One goes by train to Veuve Clicquot. One puts a sommelier in charge of the whole day.

Why choose a tour from Paris

You never change trains or book a cellar slot

On your own, a day in Champagne means a train to Reims or Épernay, a slot at each house and a taxi to any grower in the villages. On a tour you sit in one vehicle, and the guide has booked every visit.

You reach family growers you could not find alone

Blue Fox Travel, GO GO Tours and Parismatic each take you to a small producer as well as a bigger name. On your own you would have to find a family cellar and book it yourself.

Your start is a hotel door or one café

GO GO Tours, BackTrip and Parismatic collect you at your Paris hotel. Blue Fox Travel meets everyone at one café, Café Dada Ternes, and you are on the road by 7:00 am.

Nobody drives after the tastings

The tastings add up over a day: six glasses on Blue Fox Travel's, ten on the train day. With a driver-guide, or with the train, nobody in your party has to stay sober for the drive home.

Tours from Paris vs the train and a Reims tour

The real alternative is to take the TGV to Reims yourself, about 45 minutes as the Reims houses put it, and join a tour that starts there. Here is how the two compare, using each listing's own figures.

If you are happy to plan one train, the Reims start gives you more time with the growers for less money. If you want to wake up in Paris and have everything arranged, the road days are simpler.

What you get, and what you don't

Hotel pickup, eight people at most

GO GO Tours collects you from your central Paris hotel for a family producer, a big house when one has a slot, a blind tasting and a sabrage.

Who should choose something else

Frequently asked questions

Can I do a Reims Champagne tour from Paris?
Yes. Some tours collect you from your Paris hotel or meet at a Paris café at 7 am and drive about one and a half to two hours each way, and one goes by train from Gare de l'Est with the tickets in the fare. Expect a day of 9 to 12 hours.
Where do the tours from Paris start?
Blue Fox Travel's minibus leaves Café Dada Ternes at 7:00 am sharp, and it asks you to arrive 15 minutes early. GO GO Tours collects you at your central Paris hotel, BackTrip at your Paris hotel, and Parismatic at any hotel or home inside Paris. The train day starts at Gare de l'Est.
Which tours from Paris visit a big champagne house?
The train day goes to Veuve Clicquot, and Parismatic's private car to Pommery. Blue Fox visits Nicolas Feuillatte. GO GO Tours adds a big house when one has a slot: Veuve Clicquot, Moët & Chandon, Taittinger or Nicolas Feuillatte.
Is lunch included on the tours from Paris?
Only on the train day, which puts lunch and ten tastings in the fare. The road days stop for lunch in Épernay or Reims and leave the bill to you. BackTrip allows an hour and a half for it.
How long is the train from Paris to Reims?
About 45 minutes by TGV, as Lanson and Taittinger both put it. The direct train from Paris Gare de l'Est to Épernay takes about 80 minutes, according to Moët & Chandon.
Which station do I arrive at from Paris?
Reims Centre station, beside the meeting point most shared tours use. Champagne-Ardenne TGV station is outside the centre: Veuve Clicquot puts it 10 minutes' drive from its visit centre, against 15 minutes from Reims Centre.
Can I cancel a booking?
Most tours refund in full if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead. À La Française's private growers day with lunch and LinkParis' Veuve Clicquot day by train are non-refundable, and the Club Trésors tasting needs two days' notice. Each card states its own policy.
What should I wear on a champagne tour?
Shoes with grip for the cellar stairs and the vines, and a warm layer for the cellars in every season. Travellers on the long Paris days also advise bringing a snack.
