8 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; requires short walks, standing during tastings, and navigating cellar stairs.
The tour includes two tastings at Moët & Chandon and a three-glass tasting at a selected boutique producer.

Many parts of the tour are accessible, but some cellars and village streets have steps — notify the operator at booking to plan accommodations.
Children are welcome, but under-18s are not served alcohol; activities and pacing are suitable for families with supervision.
Hautvillers is where Dom Pérignon, the 17th‑century monk often linked to early Champagne methods, lived and was buried; many great houses later established cellars along Épernay’s Avenue de Champagne.
Producers increasingly adopt organic, biodynamic and low-sulfur practices; visitors should stay on paths and avoid disturbing vine rows to limit soil compaction and erosion.
