You meet your guide at Reims (or Épernay) station and, within minutes, the city recedes as the road threads through vineyard slopes. The Avenue de Champagne glints with stone façades and cellar doors; sunlight catches the rows of vines and the chalky soil that gives the region its fizz. A short climb to Hautvillers opens onto a sweeping viewpoint over the Marne valley—vineyards arrayed like fields of green-gray—and you can almost hear the pop of corks ahead.
