A champagne tour is much more than just a tasting session. It’s an immersive, human experience centered on the craftsmanship of small, independent producers. Choosing this kind of tour means discovering a lesser-known yet deeply fascinating side of our terroir. Behind each glass lies a story, a tradition, a family.

At Sparkling Tour, we’ve chosen to highlight these artisans of the vine. Their passion and exacting standards give rise to unique champagnes. This is the richness that we invite you to explore through our champagne tours.

Meet the producers – Experience champagne differently

Why choose a champagne tour focused on small producers? Because these winegrowers cultivate much more than vines: they nurture a living heritage. Their methods, often passed down from generation to generation, tell a different story of champagne. You’ll taste rare, non-standardized cuvées guaranteed to be authentic.

These encounters bring you closer to passionate men and women. You’ll discover their tools, their craftsmanship, their dreams. This direct connection gives meaning to every tasting. It transforms your champagne tour into a moment of deep sharing. What’s more, these human exchanges strengthen your attachment to a product you thought you knew, but are constantly rediscovering.

And because every winemaker has their own world, not two visits are the same. Some might lead you into hand-carved cellars. Others might showcase a century-old wine press still in use. There’s never a dull moment on a champagne tour – you move from surprise to wonder.

Understanding the craft behind every glass

The work of small-scale producers is rooted in a profound respect for the soil, natural cycles, and traditions of the Champagne area. Every step, from pruning to bottling, is carried out with meticulous care and a desire to preserve authenticity. This attention to detail defines the identity of each cuvée: different, unique, and true to its terroir.

This intimate relationship with the craft reveals itself in the winemakers’ day-to-day work. Nothing is left to chance: every action reflects observation, timing, and tradition. On a champagne tour, you’ll begin to grasp this mastery. Step by step, you enter a world where every detail matters, and every gesture is part of a legacy passed down over time.

This expertise is shared rather than taught. It’s transmitted through example, conversation, and a deep connection to living things. It is enriched by contact with nature, the grape harvest, and winemaking choices. Taking part in a champagne tour is a chance to engage with real-world knowledge: you’ll learn so much by simply being curious and enjoying yourself.

The Sparkling Tour experience: fully immersive and personalized

Discover the Champagne landscape and heritage

Our tours start in a symbolic place: the charming hilltop village of Hautvillers. Famous for its Saint-Pierre abbey, it is the perfect starting point to understand the history of champagne. This emblematic site, where Dom Pérignon is said to have refined to process of champagne making, immediately sets an inspiring atmosphere.

Your journey continues with a visit to a Premier Cru estate. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at production, meet the artisans, and taste three distinct cuvées. This is often one of the most memorable moments of your visit, as it combines the transmission of expertise with the joy of tasting.

Lunch follows at a carefully selected address. This bistronomic meal, prepared using local produce, is a truly relaxing experience. It’s also an opportunity to chat with your guide, ask questions, and hone your knowledge.

The afternoon is rounded off with a visit to two Grand Cru estates. This is your chance to compare different approaches, discover new cuvées, and gain a better understanding of the richness of Champagne terroirs. These visits always conclude with tastings and their matching insightful commentaries.
