In Epernay, many Champagne houses have small bars right outside where you can turn up and buy a glass to try — look for signs that read dégustation or tasting(source: Epernay - Top 5 things to do.md).
More formal tastings are part of cellar tours. For example, the Mercier tour ends with a sommelier-hosted guided tasting upstairs after the cellar visit (source: Epernay - Top 5 things to do.md).
