Is a Day Trip to Champagne from Paris Worth It??

I was just in Paris for a dear friend's wedding. As if we hadn't consumed enough Champagne during the celebrations, I decided to visit the famous wine region itself. As oenophiles know, true Champagne can only be produced in the Champagne region of France. Luckily, it happens to be the closest wine region to Paris, making it perfect for day trips or weekend getaways.
