Sunset champagne tasting in Reims vineyards: Land Rover safari

Champagne in hand, watching the sky turn gold above the vines.

A 2.5-hour activity in the Reims and Épernay vineyards where you ride in a Defender Land Rover to three panoramic viewpoints, taste champagne at sunset, and walk the vineyard paths. Groups stay between 2 and 8 people. A guide in English or French leads the experience. Hotel pickup is included. If weather turns, the route shifts to an elevated walk through the Marne valley with your chosen tasting.

Step-by-step itinerary

Sunset vineyard champagne tasting

• Board Defender Land Rover
• Ride through vineyards
• Taste champagne at sunset
• Enjoy panoramic vineyard views

The experience

You board a Defender Land Rover, a vehicle built for vineyard terrain, and ride to three set viewpoints across the mountain of Reims or Épernay. The route takes roughly 2.5 hours and includes walks on the vineyard paths and the champagne tourist route. The guide speaks English or French and adjusts the drive based on conditions. If the evening sky clouds over, you'll walk the heights of the Marne valley instead, still with your tasting in hand.

At each panoramic point, you settle in with a glass of champagne. The tasting is either a traditional brut or a premium option: your choice at checkout. The experience is built for groups of 2 to 8, so you're never in a crowd. Children from age 3 can join (child seats available). Infants can ride in a pram. Service animals travel with you. The driver will adapt the route if anyone needs a gentler pace on the vineyard paths.

Hotel pickup is included in the price. If your hotel sits outside Chamrey, an additional €52 covers the journey to and from the starting point. Bring a valid ID. Only people 18 and over can drink the champagne. The experience suits all fitness levels, though the paths are uneven vineyard terrain.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and French.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 17 years). Children under 3 can't be included in the booking.

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.

What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate on the evening I book?

If the sky clouds over and the sunset doesn't materialize, the route shifts to a walk through the heights of the Marne valley instead. You still get your chosen champagne tasting at the elevated viewpoints, so the experience doesn't depend on clear skies.

Does the Land Rover ride include walking, or is it all driving?

The 2.5 hours combines both: you ride to the panoramic points in the Defender, then step out to walk the vineyard paths and the champagne tourist route between tastings. The walks are on uneven terrain, but the pace suits all fitness levels.

Can I bring my three-year-old, and what's the cost?

Children from age 3 are welcome. A child seat is available if you let the operator know when you book. The pricing is per person, and only adults 18 and over can taste the champagne.

Is the pickup from my hotel included, or do I need to get to a meeting point?

Hotel pickup is included. If your hotel is in Chamrey or nearby, you're picked up at your door. Hotels outside that area incur an additional €52 for the round-trip transfer to the starting point.

What's the difference between the tasting options?

You choose between a traditional brut champagne or a premium tasting when you book. Both are served at the panoramic points during the sunset or evening walk, depending on the weather.
