Car Rental or Tours in Champagne?

Quick summary: In Champagne, tours usually beat a rental car on tasting days. They handle the driving, book the cellar visits and get you into the famous houses of Reims and Épernay. A rental car is better for exploring small growers, vineyard villages and Verdun at your own pace. Many visitors combine both, driving on non-tasting days and booking tours for the champagne houses.
