Overview
Head to Reims and the world-famous Champagne region of France, for a one-of-a-kind Christmas tour that immerses you in the local culture, cuisine, and of course, wine. You'll explore the classic homes of the most famous champagnes, try genuinely world-class wine and food, and see the local side to Reims at the most atmospheric time of year.
We would recommend that you reach the start point of the tour (Reims train station) by setting off from London St Pancras on a Eurostar. Not only does one-change train journey help to save the planet, but it also saves you that airport hassle and, if you book far enough in advance, a few pennies.
Once you arrive in the beautiful medieval city of Reims, you’ll throw yourself into the local culture and cuisine with a private guide, right after you have been transferred to your 4* hotel to relax and reenergise after your journey.
Drink in the magical atmosphere and beautiful Christmas lights that illuminate the gothic Reims Cathedral as you enjoy a guided tour of the Christmas markets, and then throw yourself into local French cuisine on a cooking lesson and dinner.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a visit to the Champagne region without exploring the rolling hills and vineyards in the surrounding area, and during your trip you will visit the Champagne House Taittinger, the famous Champagne Avenue, and the UNESCO World Heritage where some of the most renowned champagnes in the world are grown and produced.
Throw in local food tastings, nighttime river cruises amongst beautifully lit medieval architecture and visits to old, traditionally-run wineries, and you have a Christmas market break to truly remember.
