Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Overview
Journey through the celebrated regions of Champagne and Alsace, where vineyard-covered hills, storybook villages, and centuries of French culture unfold at an unhurried pace. From the cobbled lanes of Kaysersberg and Colmar to the grand rows of grapes stretching across the hillsides of Reims and Épernay, discover a region shaped by artistry, history, and the enduring traditions behind some of the world's most celebrated wines.
Along the Alsatian Wine Route, experience a blend of French and German influences in timber-framed villages, family-run vineyards, and cuisine rooted in the rhythms of the countryside. Taste Rieslings born from the fertile soils of Alsace, sample Munster cheese in the valley where it's crafted, and gather around a chef's table for a private dinner overlooking the Obernai Valley. In Champagne, descend into historic chalk cellars at Taittinger, stroll through Reims beneath the Gothic grandeur of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and toast the region's legacy during a Tauck Exclusive dinner at Moët & Chandon. From vineyard picnics and elegant château gardens to grand cathedrals and intimate culinary experiences, each moment reveals the refined pleasures and rich cultural heritage of the French countryside.

5A taste of Reims' vintages
Reims is a city of celebration – for the 32 French kings crowned at its Gothic cathedral and for those around the world who raise a glass of Champagne. Known as the unofficial capital of the Champagne region, Reims traces its winemaking roots to the Romans, who introduced early techniques and created the chalk tunnels still used today for aging. On a morning guided walking tour, including a visit to Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims, discover the city's rich history. Then visit Taittinger, one of the oldest Champagne houses in the region, where chalk-carved tunnels house rows of bottles and a tasting reveals the house's refined style. The remainder of your day is at leisure.
