Nice but expensive

Very sympathetic lady who provided us with "Marcel" in an understandable way solid explanation about the champagne region. Since we visit regularly, the lady also adapted and showed us new things. We thought it was pretty pricey for what we got. We expected at least a tasting in the fields (even if it was only 1 glass) and the other 2 glasses at a different location each time. Now you immediately got a plateau with 3 glasses per person.

A nice afternoon with lots of information about the champagne. Now at least I know why it is so expensive ;-). Our guide was super nice. It was definitely worth it !

The tour was very enjoyable. Our lady tour guide was very pleasant and made the tour super relaxed and fun. We learned about the champagne process standing in the middle of beautiful golden color vineyards, and next we visited a small champagne house where we went down into the cellar. At the end of the visit, we had a tasting of several champagne bottles and the liquor produced by the same house. The vehicle was a super cute vintage Renault named Gaston : ) Highly recommended
A gift and a fabulous discovery.

a day a little special in terms of weather (light rain and wind). But a magical walk when discovering a countryside in which I worked for more than 30 years. I have travelled thousands of kilometers and made incredible new views. well led by our very kind and competent driver. Cutting champagne is fabulous.

Our adorable guide took us to champagne producing area called Epernay and clearly explained production of champagne. We also got to taste champagne in a family owned winery.

This was a fantastic trip from start to finish. Our guide Anaïs (I hope the spelling is correct) was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, fun and a great driver. She introduced our vintage van as Gaston and got us chatting with the other 5 in our group. The stop in the vines and view over the countryside was so much better than being in the centre of Epernay. Anaïs told us what we needed to know at just the right time. We stopped at a small village Champagne house for a short tour of the cellars and a tasting. The staff were informal and engaging and they had a good rapport with our guide. We had wonderful sunshine and the countryside was very peaceful. We were dropped off with some tips for places to eat in Epernay. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Very interesting and informative. The only problem is that I imagined that we would visit other champagne producing homes. In the end, it was just one.
Fantastic tour

This was a very interesting tour with an informative guide. We went up into the vineyards to learn about the vines and the terroir, before visiting a small Champagne house to learn how Champagne was produced and to taste 3 Champagnes of our choice. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and answered all our questions!
