Champagne
Known in Roman times as Campania (Land of Plains), Champagne is a largely agricultural region celebrated around the world for the sparkling wines that have been produced here since the days of Dom Pérignon.
Lying to the east of Paris, the Champagne vineyards are bathed in a dual climate subject to both continental and oceanic influences, a phenomenon not found in any other French wine-making region. According to French law, only bubbly from the region – grown in designated areas, then aged and bottled according to the strictest standards – can be labeled as champagne.
Highlights
Savor the wonderful world of champagne: Discover the Champagne-making process known as 'The Traditional Method' at the domains of the local growers.
More than just bubbles: The Champagne region is not only famous for its wine but also for its culinary offerings. Try local dishes like Chaource cheese, pink biscuits from Reims, and dishes made with local produce.

We just had an amazing trip to France/Spain to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. I want to thank Into the Vineyard as they picked wonderful spots for us to stay along with some amazing adventures.
Brad Janitz -
Hands down, the trip of a lifetime! My husband and I booked a two-week trip to France with Into the Vineyard, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Colin worked closely with us to understand our preferences before the trip and then custom-curated our itinerary based on that. Everywhere we went was absolutely amazing, and the fact all of the research, planning, and booking was done for us alleviated a lot of stress.
Heather Hale -
My Husband & I just returned from a 2 week trip planned by INTO THE VINEYARD. This trip of a lifetime far exceeded our expectations...The properties we stayed at we loved & the guides were welcoming and had so much knowledge that they passed on to us. Thank you to Colin & his team for this unforgettable trip.
Bea “Bibi” Myerson -
This was the second tour my wife and I have arranged through Into The Vineyard, and like the first tour, it delivered everything we had hoped for and more. Yes, a 3-week custom trip with high end accommodations and extensive use of personal guides along the way is expensive, but in our opinion worth the cost as long as it provides the desired experiences. Providing those experiences is what Into The Vineyard excels at.
