The day to book if you want both famous houses from Paris without a train. A Mercedes collects you at 7:30 am. You take a guided cellar tour at Moët & Chandon in Épernay and another at Veuve Clicquot in Reims, each at the tasting level you choose. Hautvillers and the cathedral fit in between, and you are back at your hotel at about 8 pm.
The guided cellar tours at Moët & Chandon and at Veuve Clicquot are paid for.
Four cuvées at the house, or four vintages back to 1990 with cheese.
An E220 for two or three, a people carrier for up to seven, with water on board.
The viewpoint over the Marne, and half an hour inside Reims Cathedral.
Nobody else in the car, and a timetable that bends around your lunch.
Travellers score the driver and the transport 4.9 out of 5.
You book one of two levels at each house, and both cellar tours are in your fare. At Moët & Chandon the Grand Vintage tour takes up to ten people for 1.5 hours and pours two glasses: Grand Vintage Blanc and Grand Vintage Rosé. The Moët Collection tour is for adults only, takes six at most for two hours, and adds an older Grand Vintage Collection.
At Veuve Clicquot, "Une Seule Qualité" runs 1.5 hours and pours four cuvées, from the Brut Yellow Label to the 2015 vintage rosé. "L'art du vieillissement" runs two hours and compares four vintages, from 2015 back to a 2002 magnum and a 1990 Cave Privée, with cheese. The house sells those two visits for €80 and €160 when you book them direct. Deciding on a veuve clicquot france tour for a special day? This is the one to book for the older vintages.
Your driver is not a guide, and that is how this day is built. The driver collects you, handles the traffic and introduces you at each house. Then a house guide takes you into the cellars, as on every cellar tour. At Veuve Clicquot that means the crayères, the chalk pits on the Saint-Nicaise hill, where the wine rests at 10 to 12 °C. The house tour is shared with other visitors, and one traveller's group there numbered twenty.
What you gain is the car and the pace. Nobody else sets the time, and drivers have booked lunch tables and made photo stops on request. If you want a guide beside you all day, see the other days on Veuve Clicquot private tours.
Between the houses you have an hour and a half in Épernay. Lunch is not in the fare, and the stop is optional. Your driver can help you book a table. After lunch you drive ten minutes to Hautvillers for its viewpoint and the abbey church where Dom Pérignon is buried. The last stop is Reims Cathedral, free to enter and open every day from 8 am.
You are staying in Paris, you want Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot in one day, and you would rather not deal with a train. It suits couples, a celebration, and small families or friends of up to seven who like choosing their own lunch.
You want a guide with you all day: the private day with a wine-certified guide adds a family winemaker and books your lunch table. If the house is the only one you need, the private half day from Paris gets you home by about 4 pm. Prefer Ruinart or Taittinger for the second house? The same operator pairs Veuve Clicquot with Ruinart or Taittinger. On a tighter budget, the shared day from Reims with lunch costs about half. Every option from the capital sits on Veuve Clicquot tours from Paris.
There is no kerb to find: your driver collects you at your Paris hotel at 7:30 am and brings you back to it in the evening, at about 8 pm on the operator's plan. You give the address when you book. A Mercedes E220 carries two or three people, and a Mercedes people carrier takes up to seven.
The drive is about two hours each way, and one traveller's driver handled heavy traffic out of Paris with patience. The fare per person depends on the size of your party, so check the price for your own group before you pay.

Private day from Paris: Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot
A Mercedes, water in the car, and an introduction at each house. The cellar tours took ten people at most, the tastings were vintage champagnes, and lunch was booked with time to enjoy it.

Private day from Paris: Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot
An early pickup and a late drop-off, with heavy traffic handled patiently. Both houses and their cellars were first-rate.

Private day from Paris: Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot
The cathedral in Reims, tours and tastings at both houses, and a lunch reserved for us. Worth the cost.
