The 5 regions in Champagne France

Every Champagne House is unique. Some Maisons are using more Chardonnay grapes to express the elegance and freshness. Other Maisons ar using more Pinot Noir grapes for intensity and exquisite taste, like Champagne Bollinger. What you prefer depends entirely on your own personal taste.

Reims is the biggest city and capital of Champagne, France. Reims is easily accessible from Paris: 90 minutes by car and 45 minutes by TGV train. Champagne Tours from Paris can be booked in advance.

Discover all the best the Champagne Region has to offer; the vineyard, the grapes, the soil, the winegrowers, wineries and of course the best Champagne Houses to visit.  Before visiting the Champagne Region, we advise you to book a Champagne Tour & Tasting in advance because availabilities are often limited. Suggestion: Try to visit a big Champagne House and a small Champagne House. Compare the different characters of Champagne, the cellar tour, champagne tasting and explanation.
