Check availabilityIt is a day in Champagne with only your party in the vehicle. You set the pace, nobody waits for a latecomer, and on many days you choose the tasting level. The fare is still per person, and several private days need two people to book.
Private days start in two places. From Paris a chauffeur or a guide collects you at your hotel, from 7:30 am. From Reims a guide collects you at your hotel or meets you outside the station. Inside the house, its own guide leads your cellar tour either way.
There are no strangers in the car and no fixed stop lengths. If you want longer in the cathedral or at a grower, you ask.
On the Clewel days you pick the level at the house when you book: blended rosé, four cuvées, vintages, or a magnum with La Grande Dame 2015 on the 7:30 am half day.
Uncork and Le Tour de Vigne mark their vehicle wheelchair accessible, with stroller access and infant seats. The house asks you to mention reduced mobility when you book, and strollers can go down into the cellars on request.
The private days from Paris start and end at your hotel. The longest brings you back at about 8 pm, the shortest at about 4.
The alternative is a shared minivan of eight at most, with other travellers who booked the same date. Here is how the two compare.
| A private day | A shared day | |
|---|---|---|
| Per person | $520 to $838 from Reims; $521 to $996 from Paris | $375 to $382 from Reims; $645 to $648 from Paris |
| Who is in the vehicle | Your party only | Up to eight travellers |
| Where you start | Your hotel, or Reims station | Reims station at 9:20 am, or Paris |
| Tasting level | Chosen at booking on many days | Set by the tour |
| Lunch | In the fare on À La Française's day; yours on most | In the fare on most |
| Two-person minimum | On several days | None |
A shared day from Reims gives you the house, a grower and lunch for the least money. A private day costs more per person, and gives you the car, the pace and the tasting you choose.
Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot at the tasting level you choose, with Hautvillers and the cathedral. Pickup at 7:30 am, back at about 8 pm.
