Epernay Wineries & Vineyards
Founded in 1743, the cellars of Moet and Chandon span approximately 17 miles underground. Millions of carefully stacked bottles of champagne frame the walkways and staircases of the cellars. 45-60 minute tours are offered, which are both interesting and informative (some are available in English). Champagne tastings are available for a fee.
Situated on avenue de champagne, the vineyard's home is visible from far away thanks to the tower, which visitors can ascend for views of the property. Guided tours include the cellar, production site, museum, tower visit and tasting. The building is the emblem of the city of Epernay.
