Best Birthday Ever

5.00This was my birthday present and it did not disappoint!! What a fantastic experience! Jerome our guide from A La Francaise Tours is the BEST! Everything was perfect! We started at Veuve Clicquot, then headed to a smaller champagne house for more tasting and lunch. We then visited the church location where Dom Perignon is buried and learned so much!! (Like he wasn't a winemaker 😅) We were able to take beautiful photos from the picturesque hillside view! We then toured what we considered "saving the best for last"--- a small family owned champagne house P. Lancelot-Royer where a husband, his wife (Marie)and brother-in-law are managing the business to take over from the parents. It was so beautiful to see the chalk caves that they built below their home. Their hospitality was phenomenal and their champagne is better than some of the bigger production houses. Thank you Marie for sharing with us! Thank you Jerome for intruding us! We're so glad we shipped two cases home. Don't miss this one folks! You'll certainly enjoy it!
Perfect Champagne experience for 1st timers!

5.00Etienne, our driver/guide was as enthusiastic as he was knowledgable and showed us around the highlights of the region with excellent communication and humour. We visited the giant Veuve Clicquot first, then the smaller Champagne Collery where we had a delightful, guided, wine paired 4 course lunch before visiting the vineyards around Hautvillers to see the grapes being harvested and finally finishing with a tour and tasting at the amazing family run Champagne Salmon. The smaller the Champagne house the more intimate and informative the tour became. Etienne was cheerful and informative the whole time and was flexible with the route to include extra points of interest. We really appreciated him dropping us off nearer our accommodations than he had collected us from, which made taking home all the champagne we had bought much easier! We wish we had more days to spend in the region and exercise our new found knowledge!
Brilliant tour
