Mumm's Underground Cellars & Three Tastings in Hautvillers

You arrive at the Reims tourism office in the morning and spend eight hours moving through three champagne producers: the famous Mumm cellars, a family winery where you eat lunch, and a smaller grower in Hautvillers where you taste three wines. Transport, guide, and all tastings are included. The group caps at eight, so you're not lost in a crowd.

The Experience

The morning light hits the stone façade of the Office de Tourisme at Cour de la Gare in Reims, and that's where you meet your guide at 09:20 AM. From there, you head straight into the Maison Mumm — not the gift shop version, but the actual underground cellars where the champagne sits aging in chalk tunnels carved centuries ago. Your guide walks you through the process: how the bottles rest, how the sediment gets turned by hand, why the pressure inside matters. It's the kind of detail that makes you understand what you're drinking later, instead of just tasting it.

By midday you're at a family-run winery for lunch — a real meal, not a tasting plate — with champagne poured alongside. The owner or someone from the vineyard usually joins for a bit, and you get a sense of what it means to work the same land your grandfather worked. After that, the minivan takes you to Hautvillers, the village where Dom Pérignon actually lived and worked. The streets are narrow, the stone buildings are old, and the vineyards roll out behind everything. You walk around, see the Abbey where he spent his life, and it stops being abstract — this is where the whole thing started. Then comes the second winery, a smaller producer, where you get three separate tastings and someone explains the differences between their styles. By 5:20 PM you're back in Reims, and you've moved through the whole story of the region in one day.

The group stays small — eight people maximum — which means the guide can actually talk to you instead of shouting at a crowd. Transport is by air-conditioned minivan, so you're not standing on a tour bus in the afternoon heat. If you have dietary needs, you tell them when you book; any last-minute requests get added to your bill at 20 euros. Kids under 10 don't come on this one, and animals aren't allowed, which keeps the experience focused on the people who are there.

What’s included

Your day includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Reims, a personal guide for the full eight hours, an exclusive tour of the Maison Mumm cellars, a traditional lunch with champagne at a family winery, a visit to Hautvillers village and the Abbey of Dom Pérignon, a cellar visit and three champagne tastings at a local producer, and transport by air-conditioned minivan throughout.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want the main Champagne story — the famous house, the birthplace village, a family producer — without arranging transport or timing between stops yourself. The fixed schedule and small group size are what fit all three producers and a proper lunch into one afternoon.
