Please note: Champagne tour itineraries are subject to change, and certain producers only offer group tours. Every effort will be made to keep the itinerary as close as possible to what appears here on our website; however the final Champagne itinerary may vary due to producers’ schedules and availabilities, announced or unannounced renovation closures, and other factors beyond our control.
Activity Information: This tour involves a considerable amount of walking and climbing up and down steps during our visits at the Champagne Houses, walking in underground cellars, production sites, and in between visits. This tour also requires travelers be able to stand for extended periods of times during the Champagne house tours, as seating is not available in the underground galleries or in production sites.
