Tour Description
Imagine yourself sipping a glass of prestigious French bubbly while looking out over the acres of vineyards where the grapes were grown. Now imagine being able to sit back, relax, and have all of the logistics taken care of for you as you head out from Paris and hop from champagne house to charming French towns to another champagne house.
On this full-day private Champagne tour from Paris, you’ll explore the city of Reims and its surrounding countryside, home to some of the most important Champagne producers in the world. You’ll visit the vineyards of small local winemakers and explore the cellars of a world-renowned champagne house. You’ll learn about the history of the Champagne region and why its climate is perfect for the production of the effervescent wine.

They will show you some of their favorite spots in the region and introduce you to the people behind the bottles.
At the end of the day trip, thanks to tastings and conversations with experts, you’ll have expanded your palate and learned to appreciate the nuances of a variety of different champagnes.

We enjoyed our Champagne Tour immensely. Cynthia was a fountain of knowledge and passionate about her craft. We now have an appreciation for the incredible effort and skill it takes to deliver the bubbly to our glasses. Then we learned about the varieties and the way to pour and then enjoy our champagne, of course with proper pairing to our meal! Reims Cathedral was the icing on the cake. We would highly recommend Cynthia and Context Tours to our friends.
This was our third tour. Each one amazing with a knowledgeable tour guide who taught us and made us feel comfortable. We had so much fun.

Our tour of the champagne region with Sara was a once in a lifetime experience! Sara was wonderful, sharing her extensive knowledge of the region, its history and the wines. And the tour of the small, independent family run winery gave us wonderful insight on every aspect of creating a fine champagne. It certainly gave us a much greater appreciation of the artistry behind creating such a beautiful product.
And then, having the chance to tour the Pommery Vineyard and cellars was a magical combination of artistry, music and fine wine. Coupled with a beautiful lunch at a private mansion, and tour of the Reims cathedral, where French kings were crowned from the 11th century, rounded out a fantastic day. And our driver was top notch. Thank you Sara for organizing such a wonderful tour!
