This was an extremely interesting tour. Our driver Trong Nguyen picked me up from my apartment…read morerental in Paris. He then handed out small bags of freshly made pastries and croissants to me and the other 4 people on the tour (along with hot coffee). The drive out to Champagne took a little under two hours. Our first stop of the day was in just one of the many hundreds of vineyards. Trong educated us on the growing, tending and harvesting of the grape vines - it takes around 2 years of training before you are allowed to work in the field. We then drove to a local champagne maker where we learned how the champagne was made, bottled, labelled and shipped - this also came with a complimentary tasting of three different champagnes I took a full day tour of Reims/Champagne on May 18, 2026. It was a really We then drove into Reims where we sat down for a mandatory two hour lunch - the entire City shuts down during this lunch period. Following lunch, we explored the Reims Cathedral where many of the French kings were crowned. The Cathedral itself was destroyed three times by the Germans - The Franco-Prussian war, WWI and WWII but has now been completed restored with private funds only. After visiting the Cathedral, we then drove to the Pommery Champagne House which features a champagne museum. We descended several hundred feet into the Caves (which run for miles underground). Pommery claims to store, 23,000,000 bottles of Champagne in its Cave. Following our visit to the Museum, we then have another champagne tasting before heading back to Paris arriving in Paris around 7:30 PM (just in time for dinner!). This was a very enjoyable and interesting day. I now feel that I have doubled my knowledge of champagne and have another 98% to go. Champagne is stunningly beautiful - vineyards stretching to the horizon. It is hard to imagine that this was on the frontlines of the trenches during WWI. I would highly recommend this tour.

Champagne Pommery is an absolute must-do if you're visiting the Champagne region, and hands down…read morethe best cave tour I've ever experienced. 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.
