Champagne Tastings

Hello,

Is it possible to purchase a champagne tasting in Reims/Epernay without
doing the tour? We only have one day and would like to do 1 tour/tasting
and then be able to do more tastings and more houses without taking the tour.

Is this possible?

I would not go through a middleman, but would book directly through the Champagne houses; we visited a few of these, including:

Susan: I took the tours, but I can't imagine why there would be a problem skipping these and just tasting..

I would write to a few places and ask; besides those I mentioned, that I visited, you could also try Mumm:
