We went there on Sunday 17 July as a couple for a winery visit and I was impressed by the quality of the explanations on the steps of champagne production given by Emma, a young expert. She knew how to switch from French to English as if it were her mother tongue and her information was very clear and exciting. We could even ask questions. It was followed in a small group of 8 a blind tasting of several delicious champagnes of their production, in a cozy room, around a beautiful table, accompanied by *gougères* house, I still have water in my mouth. A fun and interesting quiz to recognize Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Meunier, as well as the different flavors among 8 or 10 different flavors. It was the best experience of our stay. Next time... we'll come to test their map and test their guest rooms. Stephanie and Alain

Fantastic tour and tasting in a lovely setting. Alvaro was a wonderful guide, both for educating us on the region and every step of champagne making, as well as a detailed introduction to distinguishing the aromas and other characteristics of the champagnes we tasted. Highly recommend.
Best experience on the trip.

I had a really enjoyable and fascinating afternoon in the Champagne region. The tour group was small, which made it feel exclusive and personalized. Our guide, Suzanne, was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Next time, I plan to spend the entire day with A la Française.
