I can’t imagine a better way to discover the Champagne region! My husband and I booked the 2 day tour for our anniversary. Our tour guide, Juan, planned everything perfectly. We learned so much about champagne and had a real mix of experiences from small to large houses. We had lunch at amazing local restaurants filled with locals (always a good sign) and were taken to some of the best lookout spots for spectacular views and pictures. It was amazing value and we had such fun with our wonderful guide. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled you felt you truly discovered the Champagne region during your 2-day tour. Juan, as as your guides is a true Champagne ambassador, is passionate about providing a comprehensive view of our region, from the grand houses to the hidden gems. We're delighted you appreciated the blend of experiences, the local cuisine, and the stunning tastings. We aim to offer a deep understanding of Champagne, and we're so glad you and your husband experienced that.
Stephane (and Lisa) were absolutely amazing!!! This was our first trip to Champagne and we can't wait to return! Stephane was an amazing guide throughout our 2 day visit with him. Our only regret is that we didn't make it longer. He has a way of sharing his in depth knowledge of the area in an interesting and exciting way. Our visits to each of the vineyards were amazing, especially the smaller houses that he chose. His ongoing communication prior to our visit was outstanding while he was custom planning our tour. He patiently answered every question and was quick to welcome us to Reims once we arrived. Do not hesitate to schedule time with Stephane to see this amazing area! We miss you Stephane!
What an absolutely amazing review ! Thank you very much. This 2-day tour is a must to discover the 2 worlds of the Champagne with the famous and wonderful big brands and the authentic and tasty champagne of the small producers. Thank you very much for your amazing recommendation !
The best tour we went on in France! We learned a ton and Stephane was a blast. He really made us feel like a “local.” Got to mean some really amazing Champagne makers as well. 5 stars across the board!
Thank you for your great review. I like to create memories which can last a lifetime with very personal "local" people meeting ! It's my best reward. Tahnk you again and see you soon back in Champagne.
We visited a variety of champagne houses including large and small. We experienced large cellars that were covered in artwork and small family cellars dating back generations. It was wonderful to see the presses and the vineyards right after harvest and we felt very welcome during this time which may have been impossible without someone like Stephane arranging. It seemed that he had a personal relationship with each of the winemakers and each had a special reason to visit. We loved the countryside and all of the knowledge that Stephane was able to share! Two days was enough that we felt we had experienced the area but any less and we may not have felt like we truly appreciated all that it has to offer.
Thank you Mary Beth and Byron for your great review. These 2 days shared with you were wonderful. I like this 2-day experience. It's the best way to discover the big brands and the small producers at the same time. Come back to Champagne whenever you want. I will be very happy to cheer with you more !
We were only 2 days in Reims and wanted to see and taste the more we can of very god Champagnes. With this tour we have visited the cellars of big brands we already known the taste but we also diacovered small producers which was a tasting revolution for us. Very good taste sometimes better than big brands and cheap price. Stephane also drive us to a quiet and romantic valley hidden and covered of vineyards. What a wonderful tour !
Hello Johnny ! You were one the first to try this new tour with your lovely wife. 2 days is a very good time to discover the Champagne big houses, small producers and most of all to taste and compare different Champagnes. The location of this romantic valley is a secret ;). The collection I shipped you home will help your memories :) Cheers !
