Wonderful experience! - We were on a family girls trip to Paris and took this Champagne tasting trip with Ollie as our guide. We had the best time. The tour was very informative and the champagne was fantastic! Ollie was the BEST! He was very knowledgeable about the area and the champagne process. I would highly recommend him.

A must-do! - This was by our far our favorite tour we did while in Europe! Our guide, Gabriel, was very knowledgeable and we learned so much before even stepping into our facility tours. Truly a highlight of our trip and would recommend to anyone!

Great Tour with Great People - Great Day exploring Champagne region with visits at two champagne houses. We visited a small family run one and a larger commercial one. I was initially hesitant about not getting to go visit one of the “big names” but my experience at the family run house was WAY better. More personal and informative. The tasting at both were not small pours, but full glasses so you definitely get to enjoy lots of champagne. We had a great guide (Will) and met some amazing new friends on my tour. Highly recommend!!

Excellent - Our tour guide, Will, was exceptional. Delaunois Chavez (Elodie) and Mercier wineries were inspiring and the champagnes exceptional. The Mercier cellars were unbelievable!

Really fun tour of Champagne. - Really fun tour. In addition to the tastings/champagne house tours we were able to see the towns of Reims and Champagne, go in the Notre Dame cathedral in Reims, picture opportunities in the vineyards, a visit to Dom Perignon grave, and several other stops not listed on the itinerary. Would highly recommend for a day trip out of Paris. Our guide JB was a pleasure to spend the day with.

Pilgrimage to Don Perignon - Our tour driver Simon was a delight and was so accommodating when we showed up as a group of 9. Both drivers worked together to pair our group up and made lunch reservations for us and made the trip memorable. Wendy-Seme was the other driver that took half our group and they really enjoyed them.

Unique experience, well worth it - Our guide Clem took us to a unique family owned champagne producer, along with other beautiful stops throughout the day. We would not have had as great of an experience doing it on our own. She had great knowledge to share with us and was very friendly. Great way to leave Paris for a day and learn about Champagne.

Excellent experience with great tastings. - Enzo was a great guide and was a pleasure to be with all day. The tour included a look at the traditional, manual way of processing grapes to make champagne and the mass production using newer technology. Both produced great champagnes but are done very differently. Both tour guides at the wineries were pleasant with great knowledge of the process and helped to educate us well.

Lots of education, some wine and sightseeing, convenient travel and a great guide - My husband and I traveled to Champagne on an unseasonably cool day - plus rain. Tip: err on the side of extra layers, scarves etc as it was cooler than Paris and the caves are also chilly. We enjoyed our pleasant and knowledgeable guide Nicholas and found the ride comfortable and enjoyable. Our first Champagne house stop was at a small producer where Nicholas gave us a brief tour and then enjoyed 3 delicious tastes. The pours were generous but after going all that way I was eager to taste more. The lunch stop Epernay is a good opportunity for that - I wish we were given a more thorough description of what the area had to offer, other than a very quick point to 3 lunch options. I would have preferred a longer stop in the town (and a shorter tour at the afternoon stop). Our pm stop was at Nicolas Feuillate. That facility was a monster of a production! Some of it was interesting and impressive but the highly designed tour was too long for me - and it was repetitive on what we had already be taught about champagne earlier. Being so tired from the early wake up and jet lag didn’t lend well to a slow tour. Note that there is no seating for enjoying your tastings at the end of the tour. We really liked the wines and bought plenty to take back to the US! The traffic was horrendous on the way back- so glad we weren’t driving but it made us very much appreciate the train! It was as advertised - but I still think this tour could benefit from some small touches of hospitality such as extra waters in the van and a small snack in the morning. Otherwise I recommend this tour as a way to cover a lot of ground in the region without a lot of personal effort—especially if you are truly interested in learning a fair amount about Champagne.
