5.00We had a wonderful afternoon in late December with Ann and another group of 3 travellers. Stepping inside all of the independent growers houses gave us a such insight into the Champagne region. We particularly loved meeting one of the houses' resident Irish Settler, who literally lead the tour! Ample tastings across both growers we visited. An essential part of the true Champagne experience.
Great day trip from Reims

5.00If you want an educational, personal and local experience with a local guide from Reims this is the tour to take. Tomas or guide was personable, experienced, funny, educated and loved to share his love and knowledge of the champagne region with us. He took us to small local houses and shared information about their processes as well as detailed history of the region. You will not be disappointed with this tour!

5.00If you are looking for a simple tour with a bunch of wine, this is not that tour. We loved this tour because of our guide. Thomas was incredibly knowledgeable about the region and the history that makes up the Champagne region, as well as the industry itself. In addition to visiting 2 small family winemakers, we visited the church where dom perignon is buried, and some other beautiful vistas. This is more than a wine tasting trip, it’s a lesson in how it all came to be and how it continues to evolve. Fascinating, great wines, and a bonus dog who entertained us at one of the wineries (see photos!)
Great Day!
