Escape Paris for a full day and discover the true heart of Champagne on this day trip. Travel by private van into the rolling vineyards of the Marne Valley, where centuries of winemaking tradition come to life through guided cellar visits, intimate tastings, and the timeless beauty of the countryside.

Your journey begins in Hautvillers, the picturesque village where the Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon perfected the art of sparkling winemaking. Descend into a historic stone cellar for a guided tasting with a family-run Champagne house.

Midway through your day, enjoy a relaxed lunch featuring local flavors, before heading to Épernay to stroll the legendary Avenue de Champagne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site lined with some of the region’s most prestigious maisons. Here, a final tasting with independent producers rounds out your day with a deeper look into the diversity and craftsmanship behind every bottle.

This experience is ideal for couples, friends, and special occasions with an itinerary and pace tailored entirely around you.

What our guests say

Fantastic experience! Expertise and passion put at the service of an extremely enjoyable sensory journey… to be repeated as soon as possible!

Eduardo Maria N. (Italy)

My trip to Champagne with Viravia was one of the best wine experiences I’ve ever had. The private transport made everything effortless, and our guide was knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate about the region. We visited a lovely mix of producers, and the tastings were relaxed and genuine! If you’re looking for a great Champagne tour, this is the one. I would book with Viravia again and would gladly recommend them to anyone visiting the region.

Mehmet K. (Turkey)

A wonderful experience in Naples! We took part in a delightful tasting of Italian and French wines, accompanied by an excellent appetiser featuring typical local products. The staff and the experts on hand were very knowledgeable, engaging and always available, managing to create a welcoming and convivial atmosphere. The location was truly striking as well: the tasting took place at the Ospedale delle Bambole (the Doll Hospital), in the heart of Naples’ historic centre — a unique venue that made the experience even more special. I warmly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover new flavours, get to know interesting local businesses and spend a few hours in pleasant company, thanks to the warmth and passion of the whole team.

Luca L. (Italy)

A great team. They put their heart into it. Highly recommended.

Chiara D. (Italy)

For my hen party, I didn’t want the usual celebration: I wanted a memory. […] From our very first exchanges, Roberto was wonderfully kind, patient and welcoming, guiding us through every detail of the planning. On the day of departure, an elegant and comfortable van came to pick us up at our hotel, and from there our adventure began: a day full of history, laughter and playful language games, made possible by his command of several languages, which put every one of us at ease, each speaking a different one. [… ] Not only two beautifully curated tastings, but the privilege of meeting the producers in person — men and women who hold stories of tradition and hard work behind every glass. The elegance of wine is perfectly reflected in Viravia’s work: they know how to take by the hand those who don’t yet know this world, guiding them on a journey of discovery with rich, passionate explanations that remain simple and accessible to everyone. […] Thank you, Viravia, for making this moment simply magical.

Martina M. (Italy)

My 4 friends and I booked a day trip and we absolutely loved it! They picked us up at our hotel. As soon as we got into the van we felt like VIPs: the vehicle was air-conditioned and very comfortable. As we drove through beautiful landscapes we got to know our guide, who spoke 4 different languages fluently! Not only that, he was a certified expert in wines and tastings. Once we arrived, the tour included 2 (!!) wine tastings and visits to learn about the production process. Everything felt very authentic, as we visited small local producers and family-run estates. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we visited the magnificent Reims Cathedral. To top it all off, we ended the day with a lesson on how to choose your own favourite champagne and we immediately put it into practice by buying some of the most incredible wines we’ve ever tasted. It wasn’t just a day out with friends, it was a memorable experience we won’t forget any time soon!
