It was a great day tour with Lisa where we got to taste and learn from some great small producers. It was thoroughly entertaining and educational.
My friends and I decided to do a girls trip to Champagne after visiting Paris. Stephane made the planning process extremely easy and delightful. Lucas was a great tour guide who was clearly very experienced in all things champagne. We can’t wait to go back.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are absolutely over the moon that you and your friends chose to follow up your Paris adventures with a girls' trip to Champagne! 🥂✨ It makes us so happy to hear that Stephane made the whole planning process a total breeze and a joy for you. And we will absolutely pass along your fantastic compliments to Lucas—he truly loves acting as a guide through our beautiful region and sharing all things champagne with our guests! We can’t wait to welcome you all back for another unforgettable trip. Cheers to next time! 🍾 Warmly, Stephane - Tours in Champagne

We had such a wonderful time with Stephane. The day was planned perfectly and he coordinated with us in advance to ensure the experience met our desire to visit local champagne producers. We were so lucky to visit during harvest and were able to see the producers in full action. Truly a unique and memorable experience. The lunch cooked by his wife was such a special touch, and visiting with them at their house really added to the day. Don’t hesitate to book with Stephane, you won’t regret it!
Thank you Amy for your wonderful review. I like creating unique and memorable experience. See you soon ! Cheers :)
Meeting a 73 year old producer who shared 2 old vintage champagnes from his cellar - was on the CIVC de champagne - a true master of his craft. Totally different from the large house tours - an intimate introduction to the grapes and how the process can influence the taste and character of the wines.
Thank you Liam for your great review. The small winemakers are so good and crafters ! See you soon in Champagne. Cheers !
Our tour guide Lisa was very knowledgeable and showed us many great sites within the Champagne region! Biggest factor for going on a private tour was having a child. It allowed us to be able to see the champagne houses with ease while learning as much as possible. The family vineyards we visited were great!! I left the tour with a great appreciation for all the hard work that goes into each bottle of Champagne!
Thank you Josef for your family experience shared ! We do our best for all our guests and the kids are also part of the tour. I feel that now you appreciate more the champagne knowing more how much work it is to make; Enjoy and cheers !
Stephane is an excellent local guide in champagne, he explained us Many curiosities and guided us throw two interesting tours of small champagne producers: the first more tecnhicql and the second more specific into wine tasting with the visit of the cellar. I really suggest him and hopefully we will come back again one day! Thank you Stephane for the wonderful day we spent together!!
Thank you Maria for your great review ! I'm happy you like this tour that much that you recommend it. Hopefully we will cheer again in Champagne ! Cheers !
Stephane was so hospitable and we really enjoyed our tour! We accidentally missed our train (make sure you give yourself plenty of time if you’ve never been) Stephane helped pick us up at a different location with no worries. He was super informative giving us knowledge on the towns and champagnes. We had two different tours and lunch with his wife in his home. We felt very welcomed and everything was so delicious! Thank you again for a great experience and we hope to see you again Stephane!
Thank you Melinda for your wonderful review. The French trains are on time :) The best is to arrive 15 minutes before the start and then it's only 45 minutes to commute from Paris for the day. Then, in Champagne everything is smooth as a drink of Champagne. I'm happy you enjoyed the tours and the tastings. See you soon to cheer !
Awesome, customized tour that exposed us to the production of champagne. Very high quality and we will recommend this to everyone going forward.
Thank you Lee for your Excellent review. I am happy you felt the content of the tour highly personable. I like to match the best to the expectations of my guests to make each tour unique and surprising too. See you soon in Champagne and thank you for your recommendation. Cheers !
Stéphane Demissy's private day tour in champagne was absolutely wonderful. We took this tour in the late spring during a 11-day visit to France, and it was absolutely one of the best days of our trip. We visited two small producers and tasted many different champagnes. Stéphane not only had an amazing depth of knowledge about champagne and the region, but also of French culture, politics, history and other topics. He was funny, polite, charming and welcoming. The personal touches were also much appreciated, including an authentic French luncheon served by his wife at his house. We like how he treated us as family guests, and not just as mere tourists. This tour is very highly recommended!
Thank you Stuart for your great review. I'm happy the tour we did was one of the best days if your trip ! See you soon in Champagne. Cheers !
