• Plan your trip

From the city of coronations to the avenue de Champagne

Reims is eager to unveil the legacy of its glorious history and immerse you in the prestigious world of the most famous and most festive wine..

Discover Champagne by bike

Here a refined atmosphere emerges, and a relaxed ambience reigns the streets and cafe terraces … But you must momentarily leave the beautiful city to reach the capital of Champagne, Epernay!

Before that, it is necessary to go around the Mountain of Reims by its small undulating roads. It is a landscape of woods and vineyards, dotted with villages with undeniable charms that you will cross. Moët and Chandon, Veuve-Cliquot, Mum display their famous names at the foot of their vineyards. We invite you to take advantage of the reception and know-how of smaller farms such as those of Ernest Remy, Vincent Renoir and Jean-Claude Mouzon.

At Epernay you will be enthralled by the Avenue de Champagne and drive on the Côte des Blancs. Then you go back north and round again the Montagne de Reims but this time from the west to join the  Cité des Sacres.

Fit: You regularly ride and/or practice a sport. You are accustomed to traveling by bike or wish to try it out. Your physical condition allows you to cover a minimum of 45 to 70 km per day with a little bit of steep routes.

Expert: A long time traveler or experienced cyclist you enjoy travelling by bike. You are able to cycle 60 to 90 km per day. Ideal to discover all the riches the lands you ride through offer. For you, cycling is inseparable from a great holiday!

FROM REIMS, SAINT-THIERRY LOOP 48km 320m Fit: You regularly ride and/or practice a sport. You are accustomed to traveling by bike or wish to try it out. Your physical condition allows you to cover a minimum of 45 to 70 km per day with a little bit of steep routes. ">

This cycling day takes you to the conquest of the Saint Thierry massif. Through the Champagne countryside, wine villages with sumptuous buildings and the Vesle valley embellish a hilly exit. At the end of the loop, the Aisne à la Marne canal takes you to the heart of Reims.

Meeting with our local guide

Before your first ride, we invite you to meet one of our guides , at your place of departure. A time of exchange, a privileged moment to give you our last practical tips, must-see places and experiences, to answer all your questions, take care of your bike fitting to begin your trip.

From REIMS to EPERNAY 58km 443m Fit: You regularly ride and/or practice a sport. You are accustomed to traveling by bike or wish to try it out. Your physical condition allows you to cover a minimum of 45 to 70 km per day with a little bit of steep routes. ">

You leave the city of coronations to reach the capital of Champagne. But before reaching Epernay, it is the Regional Natural Park of the Montagne de Reims which opens its doors. You first cross the coast of the island of France, through its route of champagne before reaching the curious twisted beech trees of the Forest Domaniale Verzy. Admire the ocean of vineyards at the top of the Verzenay Lighthouse or take the time to enjoy a glass of Champagne at Perchingbar, a bar perched among the trees. Follow our advice and visit one of our friendly cellars. Then the Vallée de la Marne welcomes you and it’s along its side channel that you will end this pleasant day.

EPERNAY, BOUCLE DES BLANCS DES BLANCS 37km 577m Leasure: You occasionally or regularly ride your bike and have experience in cycling for a whole day. You enjoy discovering new territories in a leisurely way. You can ride up to 35 to 55 km a day on relatively flat routes. ">

You ride on the famous white coast and its “White Whites”. It owes its name to its grape, Chardonnay, and offers charming roads around the small mountain of Avize. You will end your day by contemplating the impressive Maisons de Champagne of the avenue of the same name. Here you are in Cuis facing the Montagne d’Avize and its “White Whites”, which takes its name from the color of its grape variety: the Chardonnay. A winery visit can be the occasion for a pleasant tasting break before your return to Epernay.

From EPERNAY to REIMS 43km 638m Fit: You regularly ride and/or practice a sport. You are accustomed to traveling by bike or wish to try it out. Your physical condition allows you to cover a minimum of 45 to 70 km per day with a little bit of steep routes. ">

Go west, you ride along the side channel of the Marne before following north and crossing the valley of the Ardre. Here the Romanesque churches participate in the structuring of a quality landscape, also marked by the violent battles of the great war.

End of the stay at the end of the morning. After breakfast you will have time to wander through the city and up to the impressive cathedral.

5 Best Champagne Tours in Reims

1: Pommery Champagne Tasting Tour in Reims

⭐️  RATING:  4.8/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:   5 hours

Believe me, Champagne lovers, the Pommery tour is a must! I spent five fantastic hours exploring their UNESCO-listed cellars. Walking through these historic tunnels and learning how they make their bubbly magic happen.

Some of the interesting facts I learned while on this tour include:

• Reims is nicknamed the “Capital of Champagne” and is the largest city in the Champagne region
• The Champagne region, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in France, is known for its cool climate and chalky soil, which is ideal for growing the three main grape varieties used in Champagne production: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier
• The Champagne harvest (“vendange”) is a manual process in September, selecting the best grapes for Champagne

But the tour doesn’t stop there! We also ventured out into the stunning Montagne de Reims vineyards. Seriously, the scenery is postcard-perfect. And guess what?

The best part, though? We visited a charming, family-run winery and tasted their delicious wines. Five tastings in total, mind you! It was the perfect way to understand the nuances of Champagne and appreciate the craftsmanship.

⭐️  RATING:  4.6/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:   8.5 hours

This private Champagne tour with a guide and car looked amazing. This day tour offers the full experience – from underground cellars to awe-inspiring vineyards. Lunch at a local spot with regional specialties sounds divine, and don’t even get me started on Champagne tastings throughout the day!

Here are the highlights of this tour:

4. Champagne Region Tour with Tasting and Estate Visit

⭐️  RATING:  4.8/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:   8 hours

Big sigh! This Champagne Region Tour with tastings and an estate visit looked incredible. Imagine exploring in a small group, learning about bubbly at Pommery, and cruising through those picturesque vineyards. Plus, free time in Épernay for lunch and more Champagne discoveries? I took a pass on this as I feel it would be better experienced as a couple or with a couple of friends.

Highlights of this tour include:

• small group tour offers an intimate and personalized experience

This Veuve Clicquot tour with city sightseeing looked amazing! This tour combines visiting Reims and then diving into the iconic Veuve Clicquot cellars with tastings.

For anyone short on time in Reims, this one is your best bet! It combines a sightseeing tour of Reims with a visit to cellars and tastings. Also, it starts and ends at the train station, making it ideal for anyone coming to Reims for the day from Paris.

This day tour includes:

“ REVIEWERS say – not cheap, but worth every penny, knowledge guide for city of Reims, small group, personalized experience and ease of coming in from Paris made this super easy

5 Best Champagne Houses in Reims

Perhaps the tours above didn’t pique your interest, or maybe you, like me, craved a deeper dive. During my 3 days in Reims , I opted to book a separate Champagne House tour for a more intimate experience.

This is a great option, and many houses offer direct bookings. I walked to each of them (except Veuve Clicquot) and chose two – Taittinger, whose 90-minute tour included a short film, a cave tour, and concluded with a delightful tasting and G.H. Mumm.

Here are my recommended picks to book directly and enjoy!

• Taittinger: Established in 1734, Taittinger is a family-owned Champagne house known for producing elegant and sophisticated Champagnes. They are located in the historic Saint-Nicaise Abbey in Reims, which dates back to the 13th century.
• Veuve Clicquot : Founded in 1772, Veuve Clicquot is one of the most famous Champagne houses in the world. They are known for their iconic yellow label and for popularizing the Champagne production method known as “riddling,” which involves rotating the bottles to remove sediment.
• Pommery : Founded in 1858, Pommery is known for its distinctive pink label and for having the largest cellars in Reims, with over 18 km of underground tunnels. They offer tours of their cellars and a tasting of their signature Champagne.
• Ruinart : Established in 1729, Ruinart is the oldest Champagne house in the world. They are known for their Chardonnay-based Champagnes, which are elegant and refined.
• G.H. Mumm : Founded in 1827, G.H. Mumm is one of the largest Champagne houses in Reims. They are known for their iconic red sash on the label and for producing bold and fruity Champagnes.

On the tours and tastings, I picked up a couple more interesting champagne facts:

• Champagne is made using the Méthode Champenoise which creates bubbles via a second in-bottle fermentation
• The Champagne region produces over 300 million bottles annually, exported to over 190 countries
• Only sparkling wines made in the Champagne region can be officially called “champagne”
