Worth the price and the time. - This was very informative. I liked the small group. Tomas was knowledgeable and answered all questions. Lunch was fantastic and the wine pairings were, too. He showed us how to open champagne with just a whisper. I enjoyed this very much.

Perfect tour - We were lucky to have Suzanne as our host of the day. She is such a great guide and knows a lot out of her own experience, so we learned a lot during the tour. We went to two maisons de champagne where we had a perfect lunch and the tastings were wonderful. The only spoiler was the weather. We had a great time.

Unique wines in beautiful countryside. - It was lovely to try some unique champagnes and see the beautiful countryside. The small group we were with were a great bunch from around the world which made the entire trip more memorable. Lunch was fun. Our guide Emily was very sweet and accommodating. Our only suggestion is to perhaps offer water as we ran out of ours. Perhaps a bit more time with the second tasting to enjoy the experience longer and perhaps offer a small snack to accompany the wines and their flavour profiles. Although a fairly high cost event it was a treat and we did not regret the expenditure.
