A must tour in Reims - The veuve tour was our first stop in the morning for us and was extremely well done (by veuve rep). From here we stopped in abbey to see where Dom P was laid and learned the history from our tour guide. Lunch was next up and could not have been better. All homemade French cuisine pared with 2 champagnes of the local house and a Pinot noir. Followed by coffee of course and an impromptu “shoot the cork in the bucket game”. We then went for pics and an incredible view of the Marne river. Next up was a visit to a local champagne house followed by a tasting (we liked hearing their story!). Alas, back to departure point. Def recommend!

Wonderful day of tasting Champagnes! - Highly recommend this tour! We met at the train station in Reims right on time and our tour guide Thomas was excellent. We first headed to Veuve Cliquot and had an amazing tour there. Then we headed to a smaller champagne producer where we had a fabulous tour and delicious lunch including champagne, wine & a local Liquor. Stopped to see where the tomb of Dom Perignon is in a small church. Then on to another small champagne producer for another tasting. It was a Mercedes minivan that fit our small group of eight very comfortably. We were then dropped back off to the train station in Reims. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and his English was great. Wonderful tour with this company A La Francaise!

A beautiful day in Epernay - A good overview of Epernay, with the focus on Veuve Clicquot, includes small Champagne wineries, lunch and close views of vineyards.

This was a great tour. ... - This was a great tour. They were harvesting grapes and they made some stops so we could get out and watch the process. Love our guide. Lunch was delicious and tasting wine with the food made it all come together. Wonderful day!

Thank you. - Julie, our guide was charming and very helpful. The visit to the fascinating VCP cellars and the excellent champagne, obviously. The Vallée de la Marne is beautiful and the tastings at the small producers were delicious. Excellent day in good company.

Best Birthday Ever - This was my birthday present and it did not disappoint!! What a fantastic experience! Jerome our guide from A La Francaise Tours is the BEST! Everything was perfect! We started at Veuve Clicquot, then headed to a smaller champagne house for more tasting and lunch. We then visited the church location where Dom Perignon is buried and learned so much!! (Like he wasn't a winemaker 😅) We were able to take beautiful photos from the picturesque hillside view! We then toured what we considered "saving the best for last"--- a small family owned champagne house P. Lancelot-Royer where a husband, his wife (Marie)and brother-in-law are managing the business to take over from the parents. It was so beautiful to see the chalk caves that they built below their home. Their hospitality was phenomenal and their champagne is better than some of the bigger production houses. Thank you Marie for sharing with us! Thank you Jerome for intruding us! We're so glad we shipped two cases home. Don't miss this one folks! You'll certainly enjoy it!

A trip worth taking! - Etienne was great. He explained so much throughout the day. The places we visited were perfect. Veuve was cool but the smaller wineries were my favorite. Got to see grapes being harvested. Would recommend!

Perfect Champagne experience for 1st timers! - Etienne, our driver/guide was as enthusiastic as he was knowledgable and showed us around the highlights of the region with excellent communication and humour. We visited the giant Veuve Clicquot first, then the smaller Champagne Collery where we had a delightful, guided, wine paired 4 course lunch before visiting the vineyards around Hautvillers to see the grapes being harvested and finally finishing with a tour and tasting at the amazing family run Champagne Salmon. The smaller the Champagne house the more intimate and informative the tour became. Etienne was cheerful and informative the whole time and was flexible with the route to include extra points of interest. We really appreciated him dropping us off nearer our accommodations than he had collected us from, which made taking home all the champagne we had bought much easier! We wish we had more days to spend in the region and exercise our new found knowledge!
