Reims & Épernay Champagne
A short Champagne route from the coronation cathedral in Reims to the cellars of Épernay, passing through mountain wine villages.
On the first day, visit the cathedral and Pommery cellars in Reims. On the second day, hire a car or drive through the Montagne de Reims, passing Verzenay and Aÿ to Hautvillers, staying in Épernay for the last night. Walk the Avenue de Champagne on the third day. Perfect for couples and friends departing from Paris for a weekend. Limit cellar visits to no more than two per day to leave time for vineyards and villages.
Wineries are busy during the September harvest season; accommodations and small grower bookings must be made in advance.
