Épernay’s boat tours offer two standout options for exploring this famous Champagne region. The 75-minute solar boat cruise combines environmental consciousness with comfort, gliding quietly past UNESCO vineyards. For a deeper experience, the 3-day houseboat tour lets you live on the canals while cycling to nearby Aÿ for intimate wine tastings at family vineyards. We especially love the small-group format of both tours – the short cruise for its eco-friendly approach, and the houseboat adventure for its blend of active exploration and cozy accommodations. Browse these carefully selected tours to find your perfect Champagne region experience.
