The producer also lists longer or private experiences. Check the current lineup, duration and price before booking.
Before you go
The producer lists daily cellar-tour hours and warns that the cellars are cool. Bring a layer. Its booking and individual tour pages show different Avenue de Champagne street numbers, so use the address on your booking confirmation for the correct entrance. The house dates to 1743 and its cellar network supplies the context for the visit.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Moët & Chandon’s Épernay visit centres on its cellars. Guided tours descend into a 28-kilometre chalk network and include a Champagne tasting; the house offers different formats, including an introductory tour and a Grand Vintage option. Above ground, its Orangerie gardens and dining experiences give visitors more ways to spend time at the estate. The scale is unmistakably that of a major Champagne house, but the cool underground route is the clearest reason to visit.
