5.00My husband and I did the private and all day tour. Right from the moment we met with Isabelle it felt like we had met a friend. Her knowledge is amazing of the region and history of Champaign. You are taken around by a tour guide, but a friend who is welcoming you to the region. We will come back not as tourist but as friends and enjoy a few chilled bottle of the finest.
An Unforgettable Tour with Isabelle

5.00My partner and I recently spent a day exploring the Champagne region outside of Reims with Isabelle, and it was the absolute highlight of our trip. Isabelle is a true professional who delivered an expertly planned itinerary that felt both high-end and incredibly relaxing. What set this tour apart was the perfect balance of history and local culture. Isabelle provided deep, knowledgeable commentary on the region’s past and the technicalities of champagne making, making the science behind the bubbles just as engaging as the tasting itself. She customized the day specifically for us—we saw the major sites briefly but spent most of our time at off-the-beaten-path stops that we never would have found on our own. A particular highlight was the lunch at a seemingly hidden restaurant; it was delicious, and a welcome break from the typical tourist crowds. We also loved the stops at various vantage points that offered stunning panoramic views of the vineyards. If you are looking for a high-quality, personalized, and stress-free experience in Champagne, I cannot recommend Isabelle highly enough.

5.00The Ay Champagne tour was a highlight of my two weeklong France adventure. Isabelle is extremely knowledgeable, and I learned so much during the full day tour. I did the “Gold Champagne Experience” and I cannot recommend it highly enough. In addition, with Isabelle’s connections and growing up in Ay I had the rare opportunity to view a disgorgement; such a prospect would be impossible with any other tour company. I won’t spoil anymore of the tour and experience but after the tour and tasting top notch champagnes, I can confidently understand a champagne label. To pass on this experience is your lost.
Fantastic day with Isabelle!

5.00I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Matisse, was very knowledgeable, we learned a lot, but he also made the day very fun and relaxing. We saw quite a bit of the area, toured two different small houses as they were doing presses, had tastings at each location, and ended by tasting Champagne spirits. The tour was not inexpensive but it was totally worth it. A highlight of our trip.

5.00We had an amazing time with Nina! She was very knowledgeable about winemaking and production of champagne. The lunch spot was delicious- definitely recommend the duck (we weren’t sure at first but you won’t regret it!) She took us to see beautiful viewpoints and we got great photos.
