Take a look with one of the smaller champagne houses and you will be surprised. Nice setting - lots of info on the proces of making the champagne- a fun quiz and of course a good variety of champagnes. Add an enthusiastic guide and a really nice lunch and you have a lovely half day to spent. Highly recommended. And take a stroll after the tour through the vineyards or town ti even the alcohol in your blood 🙏
Unforgettable experience

Very nice discovery! Informative, fun, interesting with a passionate guide who experienced the harvest in different ways (harvest, press, cleaning of the vat, etc...) so knows what he is talking about.
Just book it!

Enchanting experience. Highly recommend! Emma was our tour guide and she did a first rate job, especially as part of our group spoke English and the other part spoke French. She explained the history and process of champagne making without it ever sounding like a boring lecture. The tasting was enlightening as well as entertaining. Lunch was delicious and fun! Perfect for one person or larger group.

Could not recommend this enough! Me and my boyfriend had one day in Epernay and booked this due to the great reviews, and really glad we did! Really fun and really good value for money. Lunch was great, as was all the tastings and Toma was a really great host. He is local to the area so can give some great recommendations also!
