Day trip to champagne - Our day trip to champagne was excellent! David our driver was absolutely fantastic. He was attentive to us and to another client who had special needs. The first champagne house tour was excellent- informative, with excellent champagne. Our lunch at the Continental was also excellent, which is amazing because we are gluten free and usually it is difficult to accommodate for this diet. The cathedral in Rheims was beautiful. The second house was good, but personally I didn’t care for their champagne as much ( but they did demonstrate how to sabre off the top which was cool) . The drive through the French countryside was the perfect mid week break to relax from city and see the beauty of France. The van was clean and comfortable. The tour was excellent, enriched by David who made the day awesome. He is an asset to the company for sure. Attentive and charming, and a good driver negotiating the traffic.

A recap of Champagne Tours - It was a raw day weather wise -rain, windy, cold but luckily we had Julien as our tour leader. Julien is a very personable and knowledgeable person and he was most happy to answer our many questions. The tour includes a stop at Reims where we saw another beautiful cathedral. And then we headed out to a champagne vineyard. We loved Pierre Domi and our hostess, Coraline (so?) who shared with us the process of making champagne . Their champagne was very good. We stopped in Eperne for a quick lunch of sandwiches and quiche. We visited the church and saw Dom Peignon’s grave. On to another champagne house that mass produced champagne where we sampled more. If you love champagne, this is the tour for you. The ride is a little lengthy and probably, May would be a better choice but we really enjoyed our time with Julien. He was great!
