Nicolás was an incredibly knowledgeable guide about the champagne district due to his career as a sommelier. We tasted way more champagne than I expected and the lunch served was delightful. Also, the van was air conditioned which was appreciated on a hot day. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip!

We always strive to make the journey as great as the destination, so we are glad the air-conditioned van made a difference on such a warm day. Best regards, My WineDays Team

Great guide with lots of knowledge, Aurelien! Travel in van for total of 8 and in the back it is difficult to hear. When listening to heavily accented (different than American) it is difficult to understand and add the road nose and car makes it worse. Mumm and Collery were great choice but the last stop (I don’t even remember the name) was not very good. Also another trip through wine making process is a waste of time. I would rather stop at two more wineries and just do tasting.
Dear Tessa, Thank you very much for your review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day with Aurélien and appreciated his knowledge. We are also pleased that you enjoyed your visits to Mumm and Collery. Our tours are designed to offer a complete introduction to the Champagne region by combining different types of producers and guided visits, allowing guests to discover not only exceptional Champagnes but also the history, terroir, and winemaking process behind them. We appreciate your feedback regarding the van acoustics and we will certainly keep it in mind. We hope to welcome you again on another wine adventure. Best regards, My WineDays Team
Picked up at the hotel, and once everyone was on the bus there was a 90min ride towards champagne and Rhein. Here one has the option to nap a bit or look at the surroundings along the way. First stop for our tour was Lanson where we got a tour giving some history of champagne in general as well as the house Lanson. Tour ends with a tasting of their house champagne. Off for another 45min trip to Julien Chopin for a delicious lunch paired with three champagne and one Ratafia, they sorted out vegetarian option in a good manner as well. Now we took a short ride over to Vollereaux for another tour, shorter yet more intimate and personal. Ending this as well with three glasses of champagne. Here one would think we'd head back but not yet. Now our guide Huw takes us to an amazing view point and in the sun we enjoy one final glass of champagne together and talk about the day, what grapes we prefer, what sugar content and age of the champagne. Along the day Huw been providing additional knowledge of all kind of stuff both history and technique of champagne and wine. All in all a great experience that I could do again in the future just gain even more knowledge and then see some different champagne houses.

We had an amazing time on our Champagne tour with Nicholas. We were taken to three (four?) different chateaus and learned about the production and processes at each. Each chateau had a very different vibe (big name, smaller family vineyard, co-op producer) We discovered a new drink we purchased to take home - Ratafia (similar to a Port or Sancerre, but with less bite). Lunch was after the second tour and was both filling and delicious. I was hesitant to book this tour as it was more expensive than most of the others, but it was well worth every penny!
Dear Brandi, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice review! We are delighted to hear that you had such an amazing day in Champagne with your guide Nicolas, he will be happy to hear it. We're also thrilled that you enjoyed discovering the different approaches and atmospheres at each stop and we that you discovered Ratafia from Champagne! We know that choosing a tour is an important decision, and it means a lot to us that you felt it was worth it. We loved hosting you and hope to see you again! The WineDays Team
