These three private Champagne tours offer three different ways to plan a day in the region: a full-day grower-focused outing with lunch, a shorter vintage-car experience, and a full-day route built around Moët & Chandon and a boutique producer. Use them to match your preferred pace, tasting style, and whether you want a broad overview or a more house-specific visit.

Private Champagne tour, family growers and lunch
Best for: Travelers who want a slower-paced private day centered on family growers and a winery lunch
This is the most traditional day-style option in the set. It runs for most of the day and mixes regional driving with a look at Reims city center, a drive past the cathedral, and visits to two family-run wineries. The confirmed inclusions make it straightforward for travelers who want a private guide, vehicle transport, and a winery lunch without building the day piece by piece. It is also the only option here that explicitly mentions hotel pick-up and drop-off within the stated region. The route is broader than a single tasting stop, so it suits visitors who want a fuller private overview rather than a short tasting-focused outing.
Private Champagne tour, family growers and lunch
- Includes a private local English-speaking guide.
- Confirms hotel pick-up and drop-off in the Reims or Epernay region.
- Includes lunch plus six tastings across two family wineries.
Compare this if you prefer a shorter private outing with a vintage vehicle and a focused tasting program.
Private Champagne Experience in a vintage car from Epernay
Best for: Travelers who want a compact private experience with vineyard views and a hands-on tasting activity
This option is built for travelers who want a shorter private outing rather than a full-day excursion. The experience centers on traveling by vintage car, making stops for vineyard views, and visiting a winemaker’s cellar with explanations of the Champagne-making process. It also includes three tastings and a sabrage activity, which makes it feel more interactive than a standard tasting transfer. The confirmed itinerary keeps the focus tight, with no lunch inclusion listed and no broad sightseeing program beyond the vineyard and producer stops. It is a good fit if you want a compact, distinctive format and prefer the feel of a single themed experience.
Private Champagne Experience in a vintage car from Epernay
- Shortest duration of the three options.
- Uses a vintage vehicle for the route.
- Includes a cellar visit, three tastings, and a sabrage lesson.
Compare this if you want a private day built around a major Champagne House plus a smaller producer stop.
Moet et Chandon Tasting and Fun Private Tour in Champagne
Best for: Travelers who want a full-day private tour built around Moët & Chandon and a second producer visit
This full-day itinerary is the most house-focused of the three. It includes driving through the vineyard landscape, a stop in Hautvillers, a visit to Moët & Chandon with cellar access and tasting, time in Épernay, and a final visit to a boutique Champagne producer. The confirmed inclusions are clear about transportation, bottled water, and the Moët & Chandon tickets, so it is useful for travelers who want a structured day with several named stops. Compared with the grower tour, it leans more toward a famous Champagne House experience; compared with the vintage-car tour, it is broader and more formal in route design.
Moet et Chandon Tasting and Fun Private Tour in Champagne
- Confirms private transportation and an air-conditioned vehicle.
- Includes tickets for the Moët & Chandon visit and tasting.
- Adds a visit and tasting at a boutique Champagne producer.

Champagne booking checklist
- Check the included pickup area and minimum participant rule before booking, since the private formats are not identical.
- Treat tasting counts, route stops, and lunch as tour-specific inclusions rather than assumed features.
- If you want a very specific experience style, compare the producer focus, transportation method, and duration first.
