Reims e-bike tour: Vineyards and champagne tasting

Ride the vineyards instead of driving past them

An afternoon e-bike tour from Reims through the UNESCO-listed vineyards of Montagne de Reims, ending with a cellar visit and three glasses of champagne at Le Clos Corbier. You meet your guide in Reims at 2:00 PM or ride directly from the domaine at 2:45 PM, cycle through the vines and villages, return along the Marne canal, and finish by 6:15 PM or 7:00 PM depending on your start point. The tour runs in a minivan if weather turns bad. Groups stay under eight people, and you need to be comfortable on a bike: electric models are heavier than standard ones.

Step-by-step itinerary

Afternoon e-bike tour and champagne tasting

• Drive from Reims to Le Clos Corbier
• Warm up and prepare electric bike
• Cycle through Champagne vineyards
• Return cycling along Marne canal
• Visit cellars and taste champagnes
• Learn about champagne making process
• Transfer back to Reims

The experience

The ride covers roughly five hours from start to finish, though most of that is actual pedaling and tasting rather than transit. You'll warm up on the e-bike first to get the feel of it, then head out through the Champagne countryside toward Montagne de Reims. The landscape shifts as you climb into the vineyards: rows of vines terraced across slopes, small villages tucked between them, and views that explain why this region earned UNESCO heritage status. The electric motor handles the steeper pitches, so the effort stays manageable even if you're not a regular cyclist.

The return route follows the Marne canal, a flatter stretch that lets you ease back toward Le Clos Corbier. Once you arrive, the guide walks you through the cellars and the champagne-making process while you taste three different glasses from the family domaine. This is where the afternoon shifts from physical to sensory. You're learning how the wine gets made while standing in the space where it happens.

Bad weather swaps the bikes for a minivan, so the route and the tastings stay the same. You just see it from a vehicle instead. Dropoff happens at Le Clos Corbier at 6:15 PM if you started there, or back in Reims at 7:00 PM if you met your guide in the city. You can book either the Reims departure or the Ay-Champagne start depending on where you're staying.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Do I need to be an experienced cyclist to do this tour?

You need to be comfortable cycling, but not expert. Electric bikes are heavier than regular ones, so the operator asks that you have at least a moderate fitness level to handle them. The warm-up at the start helps you adjust to the bike before you head into the vineyards.

What's included in the champagne tasting at Le Clos Corbier?

Three glasses of champagne from the family domaine are included, and your guide walks you through the cellar and explains the champagne-making process while you taste. Water is not included, so bring cash if you want to buy a bottle.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my tour?

The tour runs by minivan instead of e-bike if weather turns poor. You still visit Le Clos Corbier, taste the champagne, and see the same region. Just from a vehicle rather than pedaling through it.

Where do I meet my guide, and when does the tour end?

You can meet your guide in Reims at 2:00 PM or go directly to Le Clos Corbier at 2:45 PM. Dropoff is at Le Clos Corbier at 6:15 PM or back in Reims at 7:00 PM, depending on where you started.

Is this tour suitable for teenagers?

The minimum age is 16 years old. Younger visitors are not able to join this tour.
