5.00Lovely way to see champagne country and learn some history of the area. The smaller champagne houses and vineyard visits felt more of a personal experience.

5.00Great tour! Suzanne was very knowledgeable (she has actually harvested grapes to make champagne), informative, entertaining and not pretentious. The last quality being something that is rare in an industry based on pretension. We visited 2 small growers, one of which was more mechanized than the other. We tasted about 6 wines including one that was a vintage. The vintage wine was quite a find. I had the opportunity to visit one of the largest champagne houses in Reims and tasted 2 of their vintage champagnes. I enjoyed the vintage champagne from this tour much more than what I had at Reims. Suzanne also imparted so much more information on the making of champagne than my tour of the Reims champagne house. It was clear, understandable and not a superficial explanation by someone who has not done the heavy work in this industry. Suzanne made this a great tour. Thank you so much for a wonderful and educating time.
Very nice experience

5.00We absolutely loved this tour! It was one of the highlights of our trip to Reims. Our guide, Chloe was super knowledgeable and friendly, and we appreciated the small tour group size of only 8 guests. We spent a comfortable amount of time at each location to tour and learn about champagne production, and taste a good variety of champagnes. Would absolutely recommend!
The guide was excellent...

5.00The guide was excellent and we learned a lot and had fun. You learn how it’s made starting with the grapes and ends up in the bottle.
Beautiful afternoon

5.00Our guide, Suzanne, was incredibly knowledgeable — from the history of the region to grape harvesting and the full champagne‑making process, she explained everything with clarity and passion. The visits to the family growers were insightful and authentic, and the tastings were a real highlight. The entire experience was enjoyable, well‑organised, and exceeded our expectations. We are so happy we joined this tour and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Reims.
Great time on the tour!

5.00We loved our tour with Chloe today! We had a great group of people we met on the tour and tried delicious champagnes from smaller houses. We even bought a bottle to take home with us. Easy to find the tour group and appreciate that Chloe got us back in time for our evening train back to Paris
