Overview

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

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

You'll 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 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 break!

You'll taste three glasses of carefully selected champagne along the way, paired with a small savoury snack.

To top it off, watch a sabrage demonstration, a local tradition to open a bottle of Champagne.
