Your Deluxe Champagne Tour is designed to give you a full insight into the Champagne making process. You will visit one of the most prestigious houses, Veuve Clicquot based in the centre of Reims. The sight of millions of bottles of Champagne maturing in the underground cellars is truly breath-taking. Some of the cellars are within chalk Crayères which were excavated by the Romans and others were purpose built over the last 150 years. The visit to Veuve Clicquot will include a tour of the cellars and conclude with tastings of their La Grande Dame Champagne.

As seasoned Grape Escapes clients will know, in addition to the Champagne, we also consider fine dining to be a prerequisite. Therefore our Deluxe Champagne Weekend Tour will include a superb gastronomic feast. You will enjoy a 4 or 5 course feast at a Michelin starred restaruant in the region, washed down with wines, Champagnes, coffee and water.

After lunch, your Deluxe Champagne Tour continues at another of the most prestigious Champagne Houses, this time in Epernay. The visit to Moet et Chandon will include a private tour of the cellars and conclude with a tasting of their Dom Perignon Champagne.

Whilst the large houses show the majesty and grandeur that can be found in Champagne making, there is nothing better than meeting the maker and seeing the passion which he or she puts into their art. We therefore focus the last of our visits of the day in a smaller House where you can do just this. Your Deluxe Champagne Weekend Tour will include a visit to a small sized Grand Cru House where you will receive a tour of their cellars and House before finishing by tasting several Champagnes.

As well as learning about the champagne making process, our Deluxe Champagne Tour includes a local English speaking tour guide who will give you information on the region, its specialities and history.
