Take a sip of some of the best champagne in the world
luxury champagne tours from Paris begins in central Paris where you will board a private minibus and meet your guide and travel companions. It's only a two-hour drive from Champagne. Therefore, sit back and watch the city fall apart as you head into one of the most beautiful countrysides in France.
Your first stop is a place of pilgrimage for champagne lovers. The Benedictine Abbey of Hautvillers where the legendary Dom Pérignon has developed some of the production methods that still characterize the making of champagne.
When you lay your eyes on the tomb of the most famous ancestor of champagne, you may be surprised to learn that he wasn't necessarily the biggest fan of champagne and that much of his research was actually aimed at slowing down the double fermentation process that created it.
Then, we will take you to the neighboring town of Epernay to visit a family winery. Their production process has changed very little over the past 300 years. Your cellar tour will include all stages of the champagne making process and also teach you about the many ancient traditions of champagne production.Then, you will taste four spectacular versions of their stocks.
While you are enjoying an intensive course on how to distinguish the different tastes hidden in this legendary wine, you will also learn how to open a bottle in the "appropriate" way. That is to say, with a saber.
By tasting the champagne from this bottle, you will also learn the history of this explosive and showy way of cutting the head of a glass bottle.
Then you will head to Epernay and have a lunch break. It is not included in your visit to Champagne, but your guide will give you many recommendations on where you can taste authentic versions of the famous hearty cuisine of the region.
Epernay is the world capital of champagne production and the caves under the city streets are literally full of an aging champagne treasure.
After a perfect day to taste the best of the region, you will board the mini-bus and return to Paris, arriving around 6.30 pm; just in time to get some additional recommendations from your guide and go out to dinner!
Finally, luxury champagne tours from Paris come to end.
