Overview
Meet your guide and a small group of up to eight people at Reims central train station and board the air-conditioned minivan. Set out to explore Reims, the Champagne capital of France.
On the way, hear about Reims, the city of Coronations, and start with a visit to the magnificent Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral. Explore inside the UNESCO-listed wonder on a guided tour and admire the 13th-century cathedral, with its striking Gothic architecture and beautiful stained glass windows.
Then, arrive at the Veuve Clicquot Champagne estate (visit and tasting fees included). Enjoy a guided tour of the grand estate, finishing with a tasting of four glasses of Champagne.
After that, take a scenic drive through the vineyards of Montagne de Reims, passing through the Grand Cru villages of Verzy, Verzenay, and Bouzy, as your guide explains the Champagne-making process and the importance of ‘terroir’ in cultivating the grapes
After a delicious lunch, visit a family-owned Champagne house to learn about how the bubbly beverage is made
Finish this amazing program with another tasting of Champagne glasses and then return to the Reims train station.

Veuve Clicquot Tour
James_W, Apr 2025
Tours such as these are made or fail based on the tour Guide. Most certainly the venues, no doubt, are paramount but without a knowledgeable guide you are only half way there. Radames was our Expert Guide with France Intense for an amazing Champagne Tour of Veuve Clicquot and Michel Fagot. Radames’ long tenure in the region, expertise and affability were key to an extremely enjoyable tour. Rads intimate understanding is buttressed by the simple fact he lives right in the middle of the Champagne Region. The lunch was clearly classic French “home cooking” and enjoyed by all. Suffice it to say…book this tour, have Radames as your guide, sit back and enjoy. And remember! Save the water… Drink the Champagne! Debra & James NorCal USA
