Reims

Wine trade professionals, couples and groups on a tasting trip choose a private car from Geneva Airport to arrive directly at their hotel or estate.

Chauffeur's tipVisiting several Champagne houses? Book a chauffeur by the hour for the tasting day: nobody needs to drive and bottles travel safely.
The route from Geneva Airport to Reims
The chauffeur crosses into France and follows the A40 and A39 north towards Dijon, then the A31 to Langres. From there the A5 leads to Troyes, and the A26 continues north through the Champagne plains to Reims. This long, mostly motorway journey takes around five hours, and your chauffeur will gladly stop for a break whenever you wish. The last part of the drive crosses wide, open farmland before the first vineyards of the Montagne de Reims come into view.
Arriving in Reims
We drop you at your hotel in the city centre, close to the Notre-Dame cathedral and the Palais du Tau, at Reims railway station, or at the doors of the Champagne houses, many of them on the Saint-Nicaise hill, where the old chalk cellars run deep underground. The transfer can continue to Épernay, to the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, or to guesthouses in the villages of the Marne valley.
Practical advice
Many Champagne houses work by appointment, so plan your timing with them before booking a car by the hour. If you are bringing bottles back to Switzerland, choose the V-Class van for extra room. Child seats are provided on request. AirportsTransfers.ch can also schedule your return to Geneva Airport, with the fixed price known in advance and secure online payment. In winter, fog over the plains can slow traffic, so build in some extra time. If you are arriving for a corporate event, the Sprinter minibus can bring the whole team together.
