You may also buy bottles that are only sold there and they will ship them to your home so you don't have to lug them around your whole trip!! Must see! Service and everything was truly amazing!

I was really interested in trying small producers that don't export. That's where Tresors comes in - it's a tasting room coop with 27 small, local wineries showcased. Can we talk about the interior? So clever! There's a giant map of Champagne on the floor and each producer is numbered - pull down their bottle from the ceiling (see my pics) to learn more. I love that each winemaker is pictured - we were given a small booklet with more detailed info on each winemaker as well. Each day there are 8-10 bottles open for tasting. You can taste by the glass (price varies) or do a flight of 3 for €20. My husband and I each did one so we shared 6 wines from a light blanc des blancs to a more intense rose maceration. My favorite ended up being a 2008 vintage - it was perfection. I can't say enough about how great our sommelier Laure (hope I spelled it right!) was! She thoroughly explained each wine and the overall process that the vintners go through. My only small sad is that they really don't ship to the US (due to state specific regulations) so plan to perhaps taste a bunch here and perhaps grab a special bottle or two. Prices varied from €20/bottle to MUCH more but I can tell you that I truly liked each wine I tasted. This shop was one of the highlights of my vacation - it was everything I was looking for. They're close to the train station so definitely do not miss them!

You'll be able to purchase bottles (and cases) of bottlings seldom seen back home, and more importantly be able to taste maybe 6-9 open bottles among 180+ cuvees they carry at any given point. It's a great opportunity to learn a lot about different cuvee styles and the growers behind them, some of whom have an intense cult following among enthusiasts. All at reasonable prices and among super-friendly staff, the shop space is totally lovely too. Extremely highly recommended.

After reading a few articles that listed Lanson as having one of the most personal, in-depth tours in the area, I settled on them and booked a tour for 4. When we arrived, there were 10 people including ourselves, so it was an intimate tour experience. I was beyond happy to see that the tour was just as in-depth, engaging, and educating as I had read. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgable and answered every question we had. We walked through the entire maison and got to see the vineyards on site. Visiting in late August, the vines were full and ready to be picked in the coming weeks. In addition to the wonderful tour, their grounds were extremely classy and sleek. The tasting room and outside lounge area were both beautifully designed. We chose the "Discovery" experience which was $26 each and the tasting involved Lanson's Le Black Label Brut and Le Rosé. More than elated by our experience and their champagnes, we bought a few bottles at their shop.

Unsure of where to go for all of the options, we semi-randomly picked Lanson. Just a short trip from the bus and train station, the Champagne house was incredibly accommodating, offering a very affordable and last-minute booking for a tour and tasting. They offered a safe place for us to store our luggage so we didn't have to drag it around, and even though it was cold, we were given a very thorough tour through all the grounds, vineyards, and cellars. Our guide was fun, knowledgable, and spoke perfect English, and the house itself emulates class and luxury while still remaining an accessible price. The tour was small and personal, and our guide made it fun and informative despite the cold and wind chill. Will definitely try to come back if I can visit Reims again!

From the moment you descend into the caves, it's clear this is not a standard cellar walk. The experience is elevated with curated music and contemporary art installations throughout the underground galleries, which adds an unexpected and immersive layer to the tour. It feels thoughtful, atmospheric, and incredibly well done. The guide provided rich historical context and detailed information, making the history of the house, the chalk cellars, and the champagne-making process easy to follow and genuinely fascinating. You leave feeling like you truly learned something, not just checked a box. The tour ends perfectly with a delicious champagne tasting paired with lunch, which was relaxed, elegant, and beautifully executed. The champagne was exceptional, and the overall flow of the experience felt seamless from start to finish. If you're deciding which champagne house to visit, put Pommery at the top of your list. This is not just a tasting...it's an experience you'll remember long after the last sip.

After hitting a large house beforehand, having a more personable experience was just what we needed! Upon arrival, it reminded me of what I am accustomed to in CA wine country, small, but quite personable as mentioned above. Greeted by the wonderful staff and sat at a table with a sample tasting flight. We were walked through the entire flight and given insights into the wine making process, which was great. All of the bubbles were spectacular, and they gave bonus pours as well with their high-end wines, so a super plus in my books. Price point, very affordable with it being a much smaller winery versus the other large ones in the area. Finding it as well was quite simple as it was located just slightly out of downtown Reims, so walkable is easily done! While not the largest, they left maybe the best impression on my visit!

Next was the best part of the tour where she took us to go taste the champagne accompanied by the most delicious and luxurious cheese and charcuterie plate I have ever had my entire life. The view from the tasting area was nothing less than breathtaking and surreal. I was able to enjoy my champagne and lunch while taking in the view of a lifetime; a beautiful vineyard overlooking a French chateau in the distance. If I ever had the opportunity to do this tour again, I would do it in a heartbeat!
