Mumm Cellar Tour — Reims, Cordon Rouge & the Verzenay Pinot Noir Vineyards
Visit the Reims Maison whose Cordon Rouge label has anchored Formula 1 podiums since 1950 — and whose Verzenay vineyards on the Montagne de Reims are 100% Pinot Noir grand cru. The Mumm catalog is small at this tier, so visits are best combined with adjacent grandes Maisons.

How Your Mumm Cellar Tour Works
Four steps from Reims to the Cordon Rouge Maison and the Verzenay Pinot Noir slopes.
Reims Hotel Pickup or 45-Min TGV from Paris
Mumm sits in central Reims at 29 rue du Champ de Mars. From Paris: TGV Paris Est → Reims in 45 min direct. From Épernay: 20 min by car or 30 min train. Lunch-inclusive Mumm tours usually include hotel pickup.
Cordon Rouge Heritage + Founding Story
Mumm was founded in 1827 by three Mumm brothers from the German Rhine — and lost its German ownership in 1914 when the French government seized it as enemy property. The Cordon Rouge sash, inspired by the Légion d'honneur, dates to 1875.
25 km of Crayères + Verzenay Vineyard Visit
Walk through the 25 km of cellar tunnels (10 °C constant). Most full-day tours then drive 20 min to the Verzenay village on the Montagne de Reims — Mumm owns major holdings in this 100% Pinot Noir grand-cru village. The historic Verzenay windmill is the photo spot.
Tasting + Lunch at a Family Vigneron
Tasting includes Cordon Rouge Brut (Mumm's non-vintage flagship) and RSRV vintage selections. Lunch is typically at a family vigneron in Verzenay or nearby — charcuterie, chaource cheese, and the vigneron's own bottling alongside the Mumm pour.

"Suzanne was a very kind, helpful, attentive guide. We had a beautiful weather with memorable places and champagne tastings. We learned a lot while we could enjoy this special piece of France. Thank you!"
"We had SUCH a wonderful time with Perrine!! Because of her, we learned so much and laughed so hard. She took such great pictures of us (one of her many talents) in the gorgeous locations we went to. Her personal touch and relationships with the champagne houses and the land lent such an authenticity to our experience. I can’t imagine a better time! Merci beaucoup Perrine- It was a pleasure to meet you!"
"Our trip was amazing. Martin was the perfect guide very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend it"
"Julie was very knowledgeable and passionate about the region, the champagne and the houses. Excellent tour and a great day."
"Was a great way to see the area of Champagne. Anne was a fantastic guide and had so much knowledge to share. I wasn't the biggest fan of champagne until this tour changed my mind."
"Wonderful experience with clear and detailed explanation. Guide was really nice and English is so good"
"This tour was exactly what I was looking for! Our guide was friendly, passionate, and attentive. The champagne was all fantastic and we had a delicious lunch that included 3 courses with a paired tasting for each. The tour of each house was informative and interesting, all 3 being unique in their own ways. Highly recommend!"

Browse All Champagne ToursFAQ — Mumm Cellar Tour in Reims
Practical answers for visiting G.H. Mumm and the Verzenay grand-cru vineyards.
Mumm operates a smaller direct-visit catalog than Moët or Veuve at this price tier. The single dedicated Mumm tour ($292) includes the Reims cellar visit + vigneron lunch. Most travellers who want Mumm specifically book a multi-Maison Reims tour that includes Mumm alongside Veuve, Pommery, or a family grower — those broader tours are what the experience cards below show. For how Mumm compares to the other featured grandes Maisons (modern visitor centre, Cordon Rouge house style, less underground walking), see our grandes marques decision guide.
Cordon Rouge is Mumm's non-vintage flagship — first launched in 1875 with a red Légion d'honneur–inspired sash across the bottle. It is the official Champagne of Formula 1 podiums since 1950 (and of the Davis Cup, Melbourne Cup, and several other events). 50% Pinot Noir / 25% Chardonnay / 25% Pinot Meunier; 12+ months on lees.
29 rue du Champ de Mars, 51100 Reims — about 10 min by taxi from Reims-Centre station. The visitor entrance is on rue du Champ de Mars; parking is street-side or in nearby public lots.
Verzenay is one of the 17 'grand cru' villages of Champagne (rated 100% on the échelle des crus) — 100% Pinot Noir. Mumm owns major vineyard holdings there, and the village houses the historic Verzenay windmill (Moulin de Verzenay), now a Mumm-owned site used for receptions and the famous Pinot Noir grand-cru vineyard photos.
Yes — founded in 1827 by the Mumm brothers from the German Rhine. The Maison lost its German ownership in 1914 when the French government seized it as enemy property after WWI's outbreak; it was sold to French interests in 1920. Today owned by Pernod Ricard. Cordon Rouge and the Verzenay heritage are unaltered.
The Mumm cellars span 25 km of tunnels (one of the longer Reims networks), at 12 m below street level — shallower than Veuve (18 m) or Ruinart (38 m). Constant 10–12 °C. The tour includes the riddling-rack hall and the historic Mumm reserve.
Worth it if you specifically want Mumm + Verzenay vineyard visit. The bundled price includes cellar visit, Verzenay vineyard tour, 6+ tastings, and lunch at a family vigneron. For broader Reims coverage, the multi-Maison options below (which include Mumm) typically deliver more variety per dollar.
The Mumm full-day tour typically includes a 30-min stop at the Moulin de Verzenay (Verzenay windmill, built 1818) for the photo and the grand-cru vineyard overview. The windmill is Mumm-owned but open to the public as part of the Mumm reception program.
Cordon Rouge (non-vintage Brut) and Cordon Rosé are standard on the basic tasting. RSRV (Mumm's prestige line — vintage, single-village cuvées) is included on premium tour upgrades — confirm with the operator at booking.
Mumm is a legitimate grande Maison — founded 1827, member of the Union des Maisons de Champagne (the legal body representing the grandes marques), one of the top 5 by volume historically. The 'official Formula 1 Champagne' positioning is marketing, but the underlying Maison heritage and Verzenay vineyards are genuine.
