A Sparkling Journey: Champagne Houses and Cellars

Reims is a capital of Champagne, and your private tour includes exclusive visits to prestigious Champagne maisons such as Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger, or Ruinart—the oldest Champagne house. Descend into centuries-old chalk cellars (crayères), where millions of bottles quietly age beneath the city streets. Enjoy expert-led tastings and learn the secrets of the méthode champenoise, from the first fermentation to the magical moment of disgorgement and corking.

Museums, Monuments, and Local Culture

Your guide will introduce you to Reims’ cultural gems, such as the Palais du Tau, the former archbishop's palace turned museum of coronation artifacts, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts, with its impressive collection of paintings and decorative arts. Explore the Basilica of Saint-Remi, another UNESCO site and resting place of Saint Remigius, who baptized Clovis, the first Christian king of the Franks—an event central to French identity.

Gastronomic Excellence in the Heart of Champagne
