Questions
Veuve Clicquot tour cost?
€36+ per person for the standard tasting tour. Premium experiences (3-vintage flight + private cellar walk) €100-200. Books 2-4 weeks ahead in season.
Krug, Pommery, Ruinart?
All within Reims. Half-day per cellar (1.5 hours tour + 30 min tasting). The bridal party picks 2-3 across two days. Reserve all in advance.
Best month?
April-September. Harvest (mid-September-mid-October) is the peak Champagne moment but cellars are harvest-busy and tours run reduced. May-June is the bride's sweet spot.
