E-Bike Champagne day tour & lunch from Epernay

Full description

Pick-up from Epernay at 9:35 am in front of the Epernay Tourist Office. Pass the famous Avenue de Champagne, lined with prestigious Champagne Houses.

Arrive at Le Clos Corbier, where e-bikes will be ready for your Champagne countryside adventure.

Ride through Premier and Grand Cru villages to reach some of Champagne’s most beautiful and remote locations.

Enjoy breathtaking views of UNESCO-listed vineyards, then visit Hautvillers, the birthplace of Champagne. Here, you’ll see the church where Dom Pérignon is buried.

Please note: No alcohol will be consumed during the bike tour itself, as drinking is prohibited while cycling. Upon your return to Le Clos Corbier, you’ll enjoy a cellar visit, champagne tasting, and an introduction to the champagne-making process.

Enjoy a traditional French lunch featuring local specialties like cheese puffs, paté-croûte, quiche, and Reims pink biscuit (adaptable for dietary needs).
