A great day out with diverse experiences! - Our host Jerome was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a great understanding of the Champagne district and its history. The Champagne houses we visited ranged from small boutique to medium co-op finishing with the large GH Mumm, making for an enjoyable and informative day.

Great day out🥂 - I really enjoyed getting into the country to see the vineyards and visiting both a family run and a large champagne house. Also, I really enjoyed visiting Epernay. I wish we could have spent some time there, including a tasting.

Amazing trip - Amazing trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves Champagne. Our guide Suzanne went over and above to make us feel special, a wonderful and unique adventure for just 7 of us. Perfect mix of sight-seeing, educating, hands-on learning and tasting. We very much enjoyed learning about the vineyards, and it was so nice visiting the smaller family ovned Champagne houses. Lunch was delicious and as it was my birthday trip our guide made me a lovely suprise. Can’t say enough amazing things.

Intimate tour of Champagne makers - The little test at lunch to match 3 champagnes by taste was fun. And most interesting was the visit to a small independent champagne maker who were basically working out of the homes, and watching them bottle by hand

Beautiful tour - totally worth it - This day tour was AMAZING and so worth the cost. Our guide, Xavier, was so knowledgeable and such a delightful person. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to know, in great detail, the champagne making process and get a beautiful tour of the Champagne region. I would do this again if I came back to Reims.

Insiders tour to Champagne - Had a great tour learning about the champagne making process, the region, and tasting many different types of champagne. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating of our many questions and unique interests. I would recommend this tour if you want to do more than just taste great champagne. It provided a unique experience to meet smaller wine makers, see the facilities, and see the beautiful region.

How well do you know your champagnes… - Anne was a great host, very knowledgeable and fun and we enjoyed the company of the fellow guests on the tour. I especially enjoyed the lunch and the little game we played to match the smells with the taste. We have used these skills often on subsequent wine tours around France. It was also great to visit and do tastings at the lesser known boutique and family owned champagnes houses which were fantastic!
Highly recommend.

Amazing day tour - We loved our day with Cloë! She picked us and 6 others up right on time (even a bit early) and made sure we had all the time we needed on each location. She shared tons of information during the whole day. The combination of one bigger house on the Champagne Avenue and two smaller ones was perfect - you get to see a lot of different aspects of the proces and different ways of producing. We loved the lunch and also the small workshops.
