5.00Incredible champagne experience in the heart of it all! Our guide Anne was kind, professional, and educational. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience and was extremely knowledgeable on the champagne-making process. The champagne was incredible and meeting the producers and hearing their stories was a highlight of our trip!
A great experience for small producers in Champagne

5.00Great experience! Although the tour was in English, Suzanne our guide originally from Reims took the time to translate everything into French, while loving this tour and tastings superbly. We were able to go into the details of production of this drink, and meet the producers, all adorable. I highly recommend, hoping that one day this tour will be offered in French too, because for non-vehiculated people it is difficult to access these areas in the Champagne countryside. Thank you again Suzanne for this exceptional afternoon, exciting and watered!
Highly Recommended

5.00We had a wonderful afternoon in late December with Ann and another group of 3 travellers. Stepping inside all of the independent growers houses gave us a such insight into the Champagne region. We particularly loved meeting one of the houses' resident Irish Settler, who literally lead the tour! Ample tastings across both growers we visited. An essential part of the true Champagne experience.
Great day trip from Reims
