Champagne lunch and tastings

Hello. We will be in Paris with no car. I would like to go the Champagne region this time for an outdoor lunch in a beautiful setting…overlooking vineyards, preferably at a chateau! Also, some wine tastings. have this vision in my head and wonder if that only happens if you’re spending the night at a location like this. I’m not familiar yet with the towns, places, etc. I think I need to go buy a new Rick Steve’s book to familiarize myself, but until then maybe someone has some suggestions. Thanks!

Has anyone done a tour, or anything like this?

I have not been yet but I heard of a place called Hotel Restaurant Les Avisés in Avize which is about a 15-minute taxi ride from Epernay. I was going to go when I was in France this past fall but it would have taken up my entire day in Epernay and I did not want that. The person who suggested the restaurant did not stay at the affiliated hotel. There is also Royal Champagne in Champillon (another 15-minute taxi ride from Epernay). I have not been there either because of the amount of time it would take out of my single day in Epernay.
