    Breakfast at your hotel.

    9.30am Pick up at your hotel.

    Reims – City of Champagne

    Begin your private tour with a sightseeing tour of Reims and let your professional driver/guide introduce you to the City of Coronations. The main highlights of this sightseeing tour include the Saint Rémi Abbey, a Unesco World Heritage Site, that combines Romanesque elements from the mid-11th century with early Gothic features from the latter half of the 12th century.

    Other attractions include the vaulted ‘Halles du Boulingrin’ that today shelters a food market, the statue of Joan of Arc, the Porte de Mars, a three-arched triumphal gate built in the 2nd century AD and the famous Palais du Tau, former archbishop’s residence, redesigned in neoclassical style between 1671 and 1710, where French princes stayed before their coronations – and where they threw sumptuous banquets afterwards. Your sightseeing tour will end at the Cathedral.

    Visit One Of France's Most Important Gothic Structures

    As Lonely Planet puts it: “No matter what you have read, nothing can prepare you for that first skyward glimpse of Reims’ gargantuan Gothic cathedral.” Erected between 1211 and 1516, in accordance with an architectural program of immense artistic richness, the Cathedral of Reims is without any doubt, one of the most beautiful examples of Gothic Art.

    Follow your guide as you admire spectacular Medieval Stained-Glass Windows or the richness of the sculptural ensemble, bringing stone to life of which the celebrated "Ange au Sourire" is the best example.

    Enjoy an Array of Tantalizing Champagne

    After the visit of Reims, begin your Champagne wine tour. Arrive at the famous Veuve Clicquot Champagne Maison. Here, learn about the History of this Great Maison and how a Widow (Veuve in French) created the first truly "modern" Champagne in 1811 thanks to a brand-new technique called riddling and developed by Veuve Clicquot!

    Your guide will also explain the origins of the famous Yellow Label as your tour takes you to the heart of this House evoking both heritage and savoir-faire. This tour will also be enriching as you will better understand how a ‘Cuvée’ of Champagne is created. Participate in a commented tasting of the Yellow Label Brut!

    Depart for the Montagne de Reims region – possible optional Grand Crus pairing lunch (extra)

    Then, drive through the Champagne vineyards. The Montagne de Reims lies between the Marne and the Vesle Rivers, forming a broad, undulating headland of forests and thickets that stretches east-west for about 30km and north-south for 6-10km. The region produces robust wines with a crisp palate and a fragrant nose — qualities that give Champagne wines their backbone. The average annual yield, from an area of some 2,000 hectares, ranges from 15-35hl/hectare depending on the year.

    Arrive at a local winery in the Ambonnay Grand Cru village area where the Foureur family have been making wine since the 16th C. and producing Champagne under their own brand since 1875. They own 4 hectares of Grands Crus vines and are especially renowned for their Pinot Noir. This allows them to produce 20 000 bottles per year that are mainly sold in France.

    Far from the commercial aspect of the “Grandes Maisons” here its more about ancestral methods used for the wine making process. After the tour and tasting, it will be possible for you to enjoy a Lunch at the domain paired with Grand Cru Champagne (optional). There are other possibilities for lunch and your guide will make suggestions accordingly.

    End the day with a tasting session in the Marne Valley Producing region

    More than 4 000 estates contribute to the prestige of Champagne and maintain the Tradition from generation to generation to create the true expression of Champagne. Your day will end with a visit and Champagne tasting session in a Family Owned property.

    The House was created in 1875 in the little village of Damery. Laure and David are proud to be today the Fifth generation of winemakers. They are focused on the respect of both tradition and ancestral methods.

    Their champagne, ‘Plaisir d’Antan’ is for instance a good example of this philosophy: Made of a 100 percent Chardonnay, this Cuvée is aged in oak casks as it was before the creation of stainless steel vats giving a unique taste to the Champagne. They work as independent winemakers with 12 hectares of vineyards and produce 80 000 bottles.

    5.30pm return to Reims and night at your hotel.

    On the way to Epernay, we take you to the Marne Valley on a journey through the vineyard to meet with another prestigious figure: Dom Perignon who finalized the process to elaborate Champagne. He highly contributed to the fame of Champagne and is now buried in the church of the former Benedictine Abbey of Hautvillers.

    Visit Maison de Champagne Moet et Chandon (or similar).

    Founded in 1743 by Claude Möet, it became within 40 years the first international brand in the world. Its history is linked to some famous figures such as The Marquise de Pompadour and Napoleon 1st.

    This Champagne is also sold to many important historical events among which King Edwards VII’s coronation, Cannes Film Festival, the 120th anniversary of the Liberty Statue, etc. It is probably nowadays the most famous Champagne brand around the world.

    Optional Champagne tasting Lunch at a local domain

    The estate dates back to the French revolution and has been photographed since the harvest of 1896. Pierre developed the family vineyard just after the first world war, at the same time becoming a grape broker and Champagne wine merchant. In 1929, Pierre set up his own pressing centre and started to make wine.

    In 1947 with his 2 sons Jacques and Jean-Guy he created the brand Champagne Jacquinot et Fils. The family business was set up in the Epernay cellar. Jacques looked after sales and Jean-Guy developed the vineyard which today covers 17 ha and makes wines of the highest quality. Jean-Manuel, Jean-Guy’s son, oneologist in charge of production since 1998 is now running the Estate with the help of François Nicolet, Jacques’s son-in-law.

    Here participate in a commented private Champagne wine tasting. Begin with a bit of history of the property followed by a cellar visit. Finally, enjoy a commented tasting of the different range of Champagnes produced by the property.

    Tour and Champagne tasting at a local Grand Cru Vineyard

    Established from 1912 in Damery, in the heart of the vineyard, close to Epernay, the Champagne House J. de Telmont is one of the last familial Champagne Houses. In heritage of a winegrowers’ family, the House J. de Telmont owns 36 hectares of vineyard located in prestigious villages, where are grown the 3 grape varieties of Champagne: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. From 4 generations now, J. de Telmont is keeping up with pleasure and dynamism the Art of Welcoming guests.
