A three-day guided tour by luxury coach, including cellar visits, tastings and a champagne dinner

Global programme

On Friday morning we are picking up our guests and make our way towards the Champagne region. Because of rules and regulations  about our driver’s driving and resting times, we will make a stop in the north of France, after which we continue our drive to Reims, the beating heart of the Champagne.

There the true joy of the weekend will start in our first two Champagne houses. Both are big names in the Champagne, each with a cellar visit and a tasting, but both very different experiences.

If we get through those well we will drive to our hotel to check in and freshen up a bit. After that the bus will bring us to the center of Reims, where we can explore the city by ourselves and find a nice place for dinner. The remainder of the night is free, so you can plan to your own liking.

The planning on Saturday starts off with visits to two champagne houses in Épernay, after which we will travel to the small village of Villers-sous-Châtillon, where we will be hosted by the owners of a small family enterprise. They will serve us a delicious dinner with which we will of course also taste their Champagnes.

After dinner there is time to do some shopping and take some bottles home before we leave for our hotel in Reims. The remainder of the night is free, so you can plan to your own liking.

After breakfast on Sunday we will check out from the hotel and load our luggage in the bus, so we can travel to our first Champagne house of the day. Then there’s free time that you can spend on your own for lunch or maybe take a walk through the city.

Our bus will then bring us to our last Champagne house of the weekend. Here we will also tast a couple of very nice cuvées, after which it is about time to start our journey home.

In the area of Wanlin in Belgium we will make a longer stop to provide time for dinner and then it’s straight ahead towards Maastricht, where we expect to arrive around 21:30.
