Reims, Épernay and the vineyards, privately paced.
A private driver from Paris into Champagne turns a tasting day into a refined itinerary — selected houses, the right intervals between visits, and no logistics between Reims, Épernay and the vineyards.
Champagne is not one address. It's Reims, Épernay, the Avenue de Champagne and the Côte des Blancs villages. A private driver makes the connections invisible — and lets you actually taste what you drove for.
TGV gets you to Reims in 45 minutes, but a Champagne day isn't one stop. Between Reims, Épernay and the vineyard villages, a private driver is the difference between two tastings and a properly designed day.
A region is only a starting point. The character of a private journey comes from the specific places that shape it — the towns, estates and landscapes that give the route its rhythm. The destinations below are the ones PDVIP considers most worth planning around for this route.
The historic capital of Champagne and the cultural anchor of the route. Reims combines Gothic architecture with the grandes maisons, and gives the day a sense of place beyond the tasting itself.
Pairs naturally with a single house visit and an unhurried lunch in the old town.
The Avenue de Champagne concentrates the most recognised houses within a short, walkable stretch. It rewards travelers who want a more focused, vertical experience of the region.
Pairs well with Hautvillers in the morning and a slower Épernay afternoon.
The hillside village associated with Dom Pérignon, looking out over the Marne Valley. It gives the route a quieter, more rural counterpoint to Reims and Épernay.
A line of grand cru villages south of Épernay — chardonnay country, small growers, and a more agricultural sense of Champagne. Best suited to travelers who want to understand the region beyond the famous names.
Pairs well with a grower visit rather than a second grande maison.

Request a tailored journey →Some journeys are best experienced as a return day. Others become more rewarding when the destination has room to breathe. For this route, PDVIP highlights selected stays that naturally fit the rhythm of the journey — where arrival, timing and onward travel matter as much as the stay itself.
A refined vineyard address for travelers who want Champagne to unfold beyond a single tasting. It works beautifully for a Paris-to-Reims-and-Épernay route with time to slow down.
A more intimate Champagne stop for guests who prefer the rhythm of a village stay. It gives the journey a softer, more local character between Reims, Épernay and the surrounding vineyards.
A practical and elegant Reims base for travelers who want the cathedral, Champagne houses and city dining within easy reach. It suits guests who want a refined urban pause rather than a countryside retreat.
A natural fit for travelers who build the Champagne journey around dining as much as wine. It gives the route a culinary anchor close to Reims.
