From Reims morning Champagne family growers
Description
Join your expert guide at 9:20 AM in front of the Reims Centre Train Station Tourist Office and dive into the world of Champagne. Visit two family-run producers to uncover the secrets of Champagne making. Start with an in-depth tour of a boutique vineyard, learning the "méthode champenoise" from grape pressing to cellar aging, and enjoy tastings of three cuvées. Then, visit another producer for a shorter but equally engaging experience with the owners, exploring their estate and savoring three more cuvées. The tour ends at 1:10 PM back at Reims Centre. Perfect for both novices and enthusiasts, this half-day tour offers a rich insight into the heart of Champagne.

Easy train ride from Paris to Reims. Anne, our guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. The small champagne houses were interesting and enjoyable. We had fun with our small group and Anne had some good lunch and sightseeing recommendations for places in Reims after the tour was over.
Dear Debbie, Anne will be delighted to read this! Her local knowledge clearly extended well beyond the tour itself. Champagne is best enjoyed more than once, and we would love to be part of your next visit! Best regards, A la Française Champagne Team 🥂
We went with Jerome to the 2 local wineries and had a great time! He was extremely knowledge about not just the wineries but the industry as a whole so was a great learning experience with the champagne breakfasts!
Bonjour, Jerome will be so happy to read this! His knowledge of the Champagne industry truly makes every visit that much richer. Champagne never runs out of surprises, and we would love to share more of them with you! Best regards, A la Française Champagne Team 🥂
We had a lovely morning with Paolo, he picked us up from our apartment and drove us to the vineyard where he explained about the history of champagne, how the vines are cultivated and how the champagne is made. We were able to try the champagne. We were not rushed at all and had plenty of time before he drove us back to our apartment. We would recommend this tour
Bonjour, A relaxed morning in the vineyards with no rushing, great stories and good Champagne in the glass, that is exactly the experience we love creating. Champagne has a way of pulling people back, and we hope to see you again soon in the region! Best regards, A la Française Champagne Team 🥂
We had a great trip. We meet at 9:20 at the train station and there were probably 10 cars going. We had a week girl as a guide and we were guests from Italy, Holland, Australia, USA and Denmark. We visited 2 champagne houses. So the production premises and their wine cellars. Of course 6 glasses of champagne. Thanks for the trip.
Bonjour Steen, What a wonderful mix of guests from around the world, that is exactly the kind of energy that makes our morning tours so special! So glad the cellars, the production rooms and the 6 glasses all delivered. We will make sure your kind words reach your guide, she will be delighted to hear this! There is always another glass to discover in Champagne, we hope to see you back soon! Best regards, A la Française Champagne Team 🥂
Chloe was very knowledgeable and provided a great tour. Loved the morning tour, long enough and not too long in the van, which was new and spotless.

One of a kind experience, much better than any wine tasting in the world. Going in the caves where champagne are aged is awesome. The views of the Vinyard is spectacular. Tasting several fine champagne is definitely the highlight.

Everything about the tour worked well. Gerome is highly knowledgeable about the region’s history and wine making. The venues were lovely and prompt me to come again when I have more time. I enjoyed learning how to e a more informed consumer of champagne. Credit to Gerome and his colleagues.

Susanne , our champagne connoisseur and tour guide was Amazing ! Highly recommend this morning tour ! We had two stops , where we sat and tasted different flavours and aromas !!! You need 3 things to make your holiday great : Sussane’s patience and love for Champagne’s culture , a little walk in the vineyards under the blue sky and a cold and fresh, Delicious glass of champagne!

Easy meeting point to start tour and Guide was friendly and authentic knowledge based on working in the industry. The 2 small family producer visits were each unique and interesting. Appreciate the comparative experience we would not have found on our own easily. The tasting and education portions were well-timed offering the right amount of time to enjoy the caves and sip champagne. Having the opportunity to meet the house owners was a nice part of the tour. And who doesn’t love champagne for breakfast?!
Bonjour Amy, Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled you enjoyed the family producer visits, tasting and meeting the house owners - and yes, champagne for breakfast is always a treat! ✨ Kind regards, A la Française team
