Descend into the chalk cellars of prestigious Champagne houses like Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger, or Pommery for guided tastings and tours explaining the méthode champenoise that creates the world's finest sparkling wines through careful blending and aging in these ancient chalk quarries. Walk through Reims' historic center to see Roman ruins including the impressive Porte de Mars triumphal arch that reminds visitors of the city's ancient importance, and end your visit sampling local specialties like biscuits roses de Reims, pink cookies traditionally dunked in Champagne that have been made here since 1756 and remain an essential part of Champagne culture and tradition.
