What you can expect

  • Discover Épernay and its sparkling heritage in a truly unique way — aboard a stylish open-top imperial bus with panoramic views.

    Start your journey on the legendary Avenue de Champagne, a UNESCO World Heritage site lined with prestigious champagne houses.

    Then, continue through the rolling vine-covered hills that make the Champagne region world-famous. During the tour, you’ll also visit Hautvillers — known as the birthplace of Champagne. If you choose the 2-hour tour, you’ll also enjoy a stop in Aÿ, home to the prestigious Bollinger Champagne house, for a photo opportunity!

    Along the way, enjoy three glasses of carefully selected champagne, perfectly paired with a small savoury snack.

    Marie-Antoinette, your guide, is native to the region and a passionate descendant of winemakers. She will share fun stories and insights about Champagne’s history and culture.

    To top it off, watch a lighthearted sabrage demonstration — the art of opening a bottle with a saber — an entertaining nod to Champagne’s festive traditions.
