Next, immerse yourself in the serene beauty of a family-run vineyard. Under the expert guidance of your host, you'll learn the art of wine tasting, distinguishing the nuances of each sip. Lunch is a truly special affair.

After lunch, continue your exploration through the picturesque vineyards of Côte des Blancs and Vallée de la Marne. Learn about the distinctive characteristics of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier grapes while taking in breathtaking views. Finally, visit another family-run winery for a truly memorable experience. Here, you might even witness the exciting art of sabrage or the skillful "à la volée" disgorgement technique. One last champagne tasting before your return to Paris, where you'll be dropped off in a central location.
