What an Epernay tour from Paris is
It is a whole day in Champagne, bought as one fare in Paris. You leave in the morning and
you are back in the evening. Door to door, the days run 10 to 12 hours. About two hours
each way go on the drive, so you spend six to eight hours in the vineyards and cellars.
Every day from Paris pairs a big name with a small one. You taste at a house with long
chalk cellars, then at a family producer who pours at a table. Most days add Reims
Cathedral, the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay or the hillside village of Hautvillers.
Your tastings are in the fare. Lunch is in it on My Winedays' day and Go Go Tours'
cathedral day, and on your own bill on the rest.
Why choose a day from Paris
Your day starts at the hotel door
My Winedays and both Go Go Tours days collect you in central Paris. Blue Fox Travel meets
everyone at one café, Café Dada Ternes, and leaves at 7:00 am. You never buy a train ticket
or find a station.
You get a house and a grower in one day
On your own, a house and a grower mean two bookings, two addresses and a taxi between
them. Each of these days puts both in one fare. The guide knows the producers and has
booked each slot.
Nobody drives after the tastings
Six glasses on Blue Fox Travel's day, at least eight on My Winedays'. With a driver-guide,
nobody in your party has to stay sober for the road back to Paris.
You see Reims on the way
Blue Fox Travel and both Go Go Tours days stop at Reims Cathedral for 20 to 30 minutes.
A train to Epernay does not pass it.
A day from Paris vs the train and an Epernay tour
The real alternative is the direct train from Paris-Est. It reaches Epernay in 1 hour 20
minutes, and the station is under 500 m from the tourist office where most local tours
start. Here is how the two compare.
| A day from Paris | Train + an Epernay tour |
|---|
| What you pay | $262 to $400 per person | Your rail fare + a local fare: $57 for the vintage van, $257 for the afternoon with lunch |
| Where you start | Your Paris hotel, or a café at 7:00 am | Paris-Est station |
| Time on the road | About 2 hours each way | 1 hour 20 minutes each way by train |
| Hours in Champagne | About 6 to 8 | As many as your trains allow |
| Who pours | A big house and a family producer | Growers, or a glass in the vines |
| Lunch | In the fare on some days | In the fare on the afternoon tour |
| Best for | A first visit with nothing to plan | More time with the growers |

If you can plan one train, the Epernay start gives you more time in the vines for less
money: the small-group afternoon with lunch meets at noon. If you want to wake up
in Paris with everything arranged, the days from Paris are simpler.
What you get, and what you don't
- On every day: the transport both ways, a guide or driver-guide, and the
tastings at each producer.
- The house: Blue Fox Travel names Nicolas Feuillatte, 80 minutes with three
glasses. Go Go Tours' cathedral day names Moët & Chandon or a similar house, subject to
availability. My Winedays and Go Go Tours' small-group day promise a famous house without
naming it.
- The small producer: a family winery, estate or cooperative on every
day.
- Lunch: paired with at least three champagnes on My Winedays' day; three
courses on Go Go Tours' cathedral day. Blue Fox Travel's lunch hour and Go Go Tours'
small-group free time are on your bill.
- Not included: tips, other drinks and anything you buy at the
cellars.
A blind tasting and a sabrage to finish
Go Go Tours collects you from your central Paris hotel for a family producer, a renowned house, the cathedral and the avenue.

Planning a day from Paris
- Budget: $262 to $400 per person. Add lunch on the days
that leave it out, and money for bottles.
- Set an alarm: Blue Fox Travel leaves at 7:00 am sharp and asks you to be
there 15 minutes early. Go Go Tours sends your pickup time the day before.
- Book a few days ahead: each van takes eight at most. Every day here
refunds in full if you cancel 24 hours before it starts, so an early booking costs you
nothing.
- Dress for the chalk: the cellars stay at 10 to 12 °C in every season, so
bring a warm layer and shoes with grip.
The guide to what each Epernay champagne fare buys sets each Paris day against the local tours and the houses' own
prices.
Who should choose something else
- If you are staying in Epernay or Reims. The local tours start near your
hotel and give you the growers without four hours on the road.
- If you want one famous house and nothing else. Moët & Chandon sells
its own cellar tour from EUR 48, a short walk from the station. Read about visiting the houses without a tour
first.
- If you want the vines more than the cellars. Epernay vineyard tours put you out on the
slopes in a vintage van, a jeep or on an e-bike.
- If you need step-free access. The days that answer say they are not
wheelchair accessible. Mercier's cellars have a lift, and you can reach them by train.
Frequently asked questions
Can I do a champagne tour from Paris?
Yes. The days from Paris collect you from your hotel or meet at a Paris café at 7:00 am, and last 10 to 12 hours with about two hours' drive each way. Or take the direct train from Paris-Est, 1 hour 20 minutes, and join a tour at the Epernay tourist office.
Where do the tours from Paris start?
My Winedays and Go Go Tours, on both its days, collect you at your hotel in central Paris; Go Go Tours sends the pickup time the day before. Blue Fox Travel meets everyone at Café Dada Ternes and leaves at 7:00 am sharp, so be there 15 minutes early.

Sometimes. My Winedays pairs lunch with at least three champagnes, and Go Go Tours' cathedral day serves three courses in Epernay. Blue Fox Travel stops for an hour in Epernay and Go Go Tours' small-group day leaves free time, both at your cost.
Which big house will I visit on a day from Paris?
Blue Fox Travel names Nicolas Feuillatte, in Chouilly. Go Go Tours' cathedral day names Moët & Chandon or a similar house, subject to availability. My Winedays and Go Go Tours' small-group day promise a famous house without naming it.
Can children come on a day from Paris?
Some days take them. My Winedays sets its minimum age at 4, and Go Go Tours' cathedral day at 16. A ten-hour day with two hours' drive each way is long for a small child, so a short vineyard ride from Epernay may suit a family better.
