How Much Does a Champagne Day Trip from Paris Cost?

Which Champagne day trip should you book?

The availability calendar above is for our pick. The alternatives below make more sense if you want a cheaper day, hotel pick-up without lunch, more sightseeing or a particular Champagne house.

The best all-round option

Champagne Day Trip from Paris with 8 Tastings & Lunch, from $372 per person, rated 4.8 from 1,737 reviews.

Its listing includes pick-up from your accommodation in central Paris, a famous Champagne house, two small family producers (or a cooperative and a family producer), at least eight tastings, and a French lunch served with at least three Champagnes. The van takes eight people at most.

For $109 more than the lower-cost option below, you get lunch, hotel pick-up and an additional producer. For us, that is the upgrade that makes the biggest difference to the day.

Book this if you want the day organised from your hotel door, and a long lunch in the vineyards is part of the appeal.

Don’t book it if you would rather choose your own restaurant, or you need to be dropped back at your hotel: the shared tour ends at Place de l’Hôtel de Ville. It also needs four travellers to run, and the operator offers another date or a full refund if too few book.

A good lower-cost option

From Paris: Small-Group Champagne Day Trip with Six Tastings, from $263 per person, rated 4.9 from 367 reviews.

Its listing includes a tour and three glasses at Nicolas Feuillatte, a tour and three glasses at a family-run winery, Reims Cathedral, and a short stop at Hautvillers. The group is eight people at most. Lunch is not included, and the itinerary gives you an hour in Épernay to buy it yourself.

Book this if you are happy to get yourself to Place des Ternes for 7:00 and pay for your own lunch.

Don’t book it if you want to be collected from your hotel, or the lunch with Champagne is the part of the day you are most looking forward to.

If you want hotel pick-up but not lunch

Paris: Champagne Cellars Tour and Tastings with a Sommelier, from $298 per person, rated 4.9 from 139 reviews.

Its listing includes hotel pick-up and drop-off, a group of seven at most per van, the Pressoria museum at Aÿ, a tour and tasting at Charles Mignon or Mercier in Épernay, a walk along the Avenue de Champagne and a tasting in a Hautvillers vineyard. Lunch isn’t included, but there is free time in Épernay to find it.

Book this if pick-up from your door matters more to you than an included meal.

Don’t book it if you want lunch included. Our main pick costs $74 more and includes it.

If you want Reims Cathedral and the Avenue de Champagne too

Paris: Champagne Day Trip with Tastings, Cathedral & Pickup, from $400 per person, rated 4.8 from 703 reviews.

Its listing includes pick-up and drop-off at your hotel, a prestige house (Moët & Chandon or similar, depending on availability), a family-run winery, a three-course lunch, a guided stop at Reims Cathedral and the Avenue de Champagne. It is similar to our pick, with the sightseeing added, for $28 more.

Book this if you want to see Reims Cathedral on the same day and be dropped back at your hotel.

Don’t book it if Champagne is your main interest. The cathedral stop is about twenty minutes, and there is no extra producer.

If a particular Champagne house matters

Grand Vintage Private Day: Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot, from $808 per person, rated 4.8 from 41 reviews.

Shared tours visit whichever big house has space on your date. This private day names both houses and lets you choose the tasting level at each, up to a Veuve Clicquot comparative tasting that includes a 2002 vintage in magnum and a Cave Privée 1990. You travel in a Mercedes saloon or minivan. Meals are not included.

Book this if Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot are the reason you are going, or you want a day without other travellers.

Don’t book it if you mainly want a good day in the vineyards. The shared tours include more producers and a lunch for less than half the price.

What does each shared day trip cost?

These are the shared small-group Champagne day trips from Paris, cheapest first. Each name links to the tour’s GetYourGuide page, with its rating and number of reviews next to it. A small number of reviews is a reason for caution rather than a verdict on the tour.

Prices checked September 2026. Operators use dynamic pricing, so these figures are a guide; check the booking page for the current price.

What changes as the price goes up

Up to about $263, paying more mostly gets you a better-reviewed tour. Between $263 and $372, it gets you lunch and hotel pick-up. Above $372, it adds sightseeing stops.

$171 to $206 (+$35): the Reims Cathedral & Pommery day covers the cathedral and one cellar in about five hours. The Reims, Cellars & 4 Tastings day is a full eleven-hour day that adds Hautvillers and the Verzenay lighthouse (or Épernay, depending on the season).

$206 to $262 (+$56): you get hotel pick-up instead of a meeting point, a family producer as well as a large house, and a better rating. The Small Group, Tastings & Pickup day is rated 5.0 from 37 reviews, against 4.4 from 17 for the $206 tour.

$262 to $263 (+$1): at effectively the same price, the better choice depends on whether hotel pick-up matters to you. There is more on this below.

$263 to $298 (+$35): the Sommelier day adds hotel pick-up and a visit to the Pressoria museum. Lunch is still not included.

$298 to $355 (+$57): at $355, lunch is included for the first time. The Family Estates day adds a meal with Champagne and visits three family producers. It comes from the same operator as our pick, but it has only 11 reviews so far, rated 4.7.

$355 to $372 (+$17): the same operator’s 8 Tastings & Lunch day replaces one of the family producers with a major Champagne house and has a much longer review history, with 1,737 reviews. For us, this is the best use of the extra money.

$372 to $400 (+$28): the Cathedral & Pickup day adds Reims Cathedral, the Avenue de Champagne and drop-off at your hotel. It is a better day for sightseeing, but there is no extra producer.

$400 to $423 (+$23): the All-Inclusive tour adds breakfast and wine with lunch, but it has no hotel pick-up and no reviews yet.

The number of tastings doesn’t rise much with the price: the $206 tour includes four, the $263 tour six and our pick at least eight. The main reason the $355–$400 tours cost more is that they add hotel pick-up, lunch and extra stops.

Same price, different day: which to pick

At $262 and $263, the Small Group, Tastings & Pickup day collects you from your hotel, while the Six Tastings day starts from Place des Ternes at 7:00. We’d choose the Six Tastings day because it has 367 reviews against 37, unless your hotel is a long way from the 17th arrondissement.

At $400, each tour offers a different kind of day. The Cathedral & Pickup day is built around sightseeing, and the Lunch & Tasting day around learning to taste, with a blind tasting when available and a tasting in the vineyards. Both come from the same operator and are equally well reviewed. The Sunset Tour replaces lunch with dinner and spends the evening in the vineyards; it has only one review so far, rated 5.0.

Which tours would we skip?

Each of these costs more than a better-reviewed tour that includes as much or more.

• The Full-Day Champagne Tour is rated 3.8 from 23 reviews, has no hotel pick-up and no food, and costs $4 more than the Sommelier day, which collects you and is rated 4.9 from 139.
• The Champagne Day Trip with 7 Tastings has no reviews yet and no lunch, and costs only $6 less than our pick, which includes both.
• The All-Inclusive Champagne Tour has no reviews yet and no hotel pick-up, and costs $23 more than the Cathedral & Pickup day, rated 4.8 from 703.

What stays the same whatever you pay

Paying more doesn’t shorten the journey. The itineraries allow roughly two hours each way between Paris and the first stop, on shared and private tours alike, so expect a ten-to-twelve-hour day with three to five hours on the road.

Every tour on this page offers free cancellation, and every shared tour has a live guide. Shared tours that state a group size cap it at seven or eight people, so you’ll be in a minibus whichever price you pay.

Shared tours also don’t guarantee a particular house. Their listings name a house “or similar, subject to availability”, which is the main reason private tours with named houses cost more.

What does a private Champagne day trip cost?

Private days start from $332 per person on listings with no reviews yet, and go up to several thousand dollars for the car. Some are priced per person and some per car, and the car price is often quoted for a party of one or two, so check the price for your own group in the booking calendar. These are the ones we’d look at first.

Other private tours include half-days to a single house, Dom Pérignon cellar visits and a château brunch. Most have few or no reviews so far.

Is a private day ever cheaper than shared seats?

Compare our pick with its private version. Four seats on the shared 8 Tastings & Lunch day come to $1,488. The private version starts at $1,962 for a party of one, which is already more than four shared seats. For most couples and small groups, going private is about privacy and choosing the houses. It won’t save you money.

What costs extra on top

• Lunch, on every tour that says so above. The cheaper tours give you free time in Épernay or Reims to buy it.
• Cellar visits and tastings on the chauffeur-driven day, which includes only the car and driver. Add the houses’ own prices, which our guide to Champagne prices in France lists.
• Bottles you buy at the producers, and tips, which are optional everywhere.

What a couple or a group of four pays

Shared tours are priced per person, so the cost multiplies with the size of your group.

For a couple, our pick costs $218 more than the lower-cost option, which covers lunch, hotel pick-up and an extra producer for both of you.

Should you pay more?

Pay more if lunch in the vineyards, pick-up at your door or a particular Champagne house is what you want from the day. Paying more won’t get you a shorter drive or better cancellation terms, and on a shared tour it won’t guarantee a famous house.
