Rilly-La-Montagne offers several ways to shape your stay, including Champagne tours, a trail exploring its natural and cultural heritage, and an educational trail. You can focus on a cellar tour, the history and nature of the area, or both. The experiences differ in specific ways, ranging from a one-hour tour with insights into Champagne production to tastings featuring named cuvées.

Champagne and heritage: different focuses

The interactive “Cap Patrimoine – Rilly-la-Montagne” trail invites you to discover the area’s natural and cultural heritage. If you would prefer to learn more about Champagne, several tours with their own distinct features are available. At Champagne Daniel Dumont, the tour lasts one hour. It covers the Champagne-making process from A to Z, traditional cellars, and a tasting. Check the booking details in advance, as they may change.

Champagne J.Lassalle offers private tours across three cellar levels, followed by a tasting of one or more Champagnes. Advance booking is required. At Champagne Couvreur Prak, a winery tour is part of a tasting of three cuvées: “Complicité,” made from three grape varieties; “Unicité,” a Blanc de Noirs; and a choice of either “Fraternité,” a rosé, or “Prospérité,” a vintage Champagne. These details can help you choose: J.Lassalle focuses on the three levels and the private tour, while Couvreur Prak highlights the specifically named cuvées and their styles.

Plan your travel and dates

Rilly-La-Montagne is accessible by train via the “Ligne des Bulles,” the TER service between Reims and Épernay. As timetables may change, check the service for your travel date before planning your journey. The train is one practical way to reach the town; no further information about journey times or connections to individual tours is provided.

Cycling enthusiasts may also be interested in the annual Galipes Champenoises event: AS RILLY organizes it every year. Dates and registration requirements may change. If you would like to plan your stay around the event, check the information for the relevant date before travelling.

An educational trail with different types of information

The public “En forêt eau’trement” educational trail was created in Rilly-la-Montagne and opened and inaugurated in May 2026. Its inclusive features include audio stations, tactile elements, 3D models of species, and several resources in Braille. Information is therefore presented in different formats. If you would like to visit the trail, check local access information before travelling.

The different options offer a practical guide to planning your stay: a tour with a stated duration, a tour that requires a reservation, or a trail or educational path focused on nature and cultural heritage. First decide which of these experiences matters most for your stay. Then check the booking details, dates, timetables, or access information relevant to your choice so that the time-sensitive parts of your travel plans fit together.
