Great champagne tour / tastings - Anne was great. We we on the road on time in a comfortable coach and had a champagne tasting after tour in the morning, another with lunch and another in the afternoon. The champagnes were great and the tour educational. We had a quick pass by of sites in Epernay and Reims as well as the tip to check out the Cathedral light show at night which was also very cool. This tour helped us make the most of our short werkend trip in Reims - well worth it.

Good just to visit the site cafe and shop - Strange that on Tripadvisor I could only see things like 'tours' and day visits to this place. So YES, you can just turn up, have some champagne in their nicely done up posh cafe, and go to their boutique shop (without paying for a tour). It is Veuve Clicquot - so do expect all pricing to be high! We just turned up, had a nice glass of champagne, bought a cheese and meat plate for the kids, parked on-site - and probably only stayed no more than 1 hour. Very clean toilets!

Excellent Champagne Tour - This was an excellent tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot on the tour. Veuve Clicquot was such a cool experience and all the champagnes we tasted were amazing. The lunch at the family grower was delicious and one of the highlights of the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the champagne region and learn more about Champagne!

Excellent tour, Especially the visit to Veuve which provided a fascinating look into the history of the brand - This was a fantastic tour. The people at Veuve were very down-to-earth and welcoming. The substance of the tour was fascinating and informative. The tasting selections were excellent, and we received an excellent walk-through each of them during the tasting. The second winery we went to, where lunch was served, was excellent and the food was very good. The final small winery, we went to was very informal and homey, but the tasting selections also very good and very reasonably priced. It helped that our group of seven was Comprised completely of fun, loving, interesting individuals. This was all very much in contrast to a much less positive experience we had with a Tour 11 years ago, primarily because The big house we visited, then Offered very little in terms of a tour and background of their brand, didn’t personalize the experience at all and was overall pretty snooty. We were very happy to have a very different experience at Veuve And thoroughly Enjoyed all aspects of the trip.

Do it - marvellous experience - The entire day was magical, learned so much about the process of making champagne. Have a whole new respect for both the large businesses and small family owned enterprises that work so hard to bring us their delicious bubbles.
Suzanne was a wonderful tour guide with an abundance of knowledge. Highly recommend.
