What you’ll do

Come and discover the magic of Christmas among the most beautiful Christmas markets of Reims and Epernay. Our excursion will first take you to the capital of champagne for a visit to Reims Cathedral and its very famous Christmas market. Before lunch, we offer you a glass of champagne and a box of chocolates on the cathedral square to celebrate Christmas together. Then we will leave for Epernay, ¾ of an hour from Reims, to do a tasting in the most prestigious cellar: Mercier (depending on availability we can offer another renowned cellar), and a visit to Epernay. You can then stroll through this magnificent city, intimately decorated in Christmas colors.

Itinerary

Any visit to Reims must begin with Notre-Dame Cathedral. And for good reason, it is an architectural gem whose beauty is unanimously hailed. Larger than Notre-Dame de Paris, it also has exceptional statuary: 303 statues adorn its facades. Biblical scenes, a gallery of kings, a bestiary, gargoyles, so many stories to tell for the guides who take you to discover it.

Inside, another beauty awaits you, that of the stained glass windows: the first large Rose, which has just been renovated, but also the contemporary stained glass windows, in the works of Marc Chagall and Imi Knoebel, for a subtle blend of tradition and of modernity, bathing the cathedral in a unique light.

Come and discover the exceptional Christmas market, one of the most beautiful in France.

To celebrate Christmas together, we will offer you chocolates and a glass of champagne

Taste our cuvées with our sommelier

Go back to the surface and end your visit with a tasting with our sommelier with whom you will have the opportunity to discuss. Discover the different specificities of our Mercier cuvées.

The magic of Christmas operates once again within the town of Epernay. The magical illuminations will enchant the city center and the streets of the city. People come here to do their shopping before the end of year celebrations, find some Christmas decorations, gift ideas or simply enjoy a pancake, wine or hot chocolate in a warm atmosphere.

You will discover the charming village of Hautvillers. It was in Hautvillers itself, in the old Benedictine abbey, that the cellar monk Dom Pérignon discovered the method of champagne making wine in the 18th century.
