This was one of the best wine experiences in France. My Guide, Chloe, was very knowledgeable and helpful with suggested experiences beyond our day together. We visited Roger Coulon and Veuve Clicquot. Coulon does not ship to many locations in the USA and it truly was a find. My favorite of the 2 even though there is plenty of Clicquot in my wine storage. I look forward to receiving the Champagne I ordered there. All the arrangements made by Mywinedays were handled with complete professionalism and Chloe was an excellent guide.
Dear Virginia, Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful message. We are delighted to hear that your experience was one of the highlights of your time in France. We are pleased that you enjoyed the visits and that Chloé helped make your day so memorable. We appreciate your trust in My WineDays and hope to welcome you again very soon. Best regards, My WineDays Team
Chloé was an excellent guide. She is knowledgeable, informative, humorous, and pleasant. She was very accommodating in showing us other points of interest, ie Reims Cathedral and the church of Dom Perignon. We thoroughly enjoyed the day with her.
Dear Jacqueline, Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable day with Chloé. We will be sure to pass along your compliments to her. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again for more discoveries! Kind regards, My WineDays Team
What a perfect day!!! From the moment we were picked up at our doorstep until we were dropped back off. Our guide Patrice is what actually made everything so great. It felt more like a good friend or family member was showing us the highlights of Champagne. The first venue was a boutique champagne house that is doing some very unique things. Leclerc Briant gave us a lovely variety to try at different price points. You can tell how passionate they are about what they’re doing there. The lunch was everything we’d hoped for with a Michelin Star restaurant. The final stop was at Moet, and it was to interesting to see the difference between a high volume house and a boutique house. The star of the day was of course the champagne!…. Thank you again Patrice for the very best of what champagne has to offer! This tour was a little pricey, but for what you get, RUN don’t walk to book it! If there is any way to request Patrice, he’s a treasure!
Dear Janet, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're delighted to hear that your day in Champagne exceeded your expectations, from the doorstep pick-up to the final drop-off. Patrice will be thrilled to know his friendly guidance added such a personal touch to your tour. We're so glad the champagne was the star of your day. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Cheers! My WineDays Team
From the start our guide Patrice was fantastic. He had warm croissants and stopped for coffee. We drove through magnificent countryside and Patrice was extremely knowledgeable about the area. The tour through the House of Moët was very good. We also visited a small boutique champagne house which was fantastic. The restaurant was top notch but most importantly Patrice was super not only with the area but with the champagne and wineries and the complexities of the area and the soil. We would definitely recommend this trip and Patrice.
Dear Anna, Thank you for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience with Patrice as your guide. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we are thrilled that you have enjoyed your time exploring the champagne region. We are looking forward to welcome you on another trip soon! Best regards, My WineDays Team
We spent an incredible day in Champagne !! We were right to choose the premium package! We visited some beautiful cellars and the champagnes we tasted were delicious. We can now say that we know champagne! Lunch at the Michelin-starred restaurant was exquisite! We'll never forget this day. Many thanks to our guide, who was both fascinating and funny, and above all to the My WIneDays team for their organization! We've already planned our next trip to Paris, and it won't be without My Wine Days! See you soon for the Loire Valley Day Trip!
Hi Mathilde, Thank you for this great review! We are delighted that you had such a great time discovering Champagne. We will be really happy to organise your next trip to the Loire Valley and make it also an unforgettable moment. Best regards, My WineDays Team
This day was a wonderful way to end our trip in France. The guide and the house of Champagne we visited were truly fabulous. Our guide's anecdotes and stories set the pace for this wonderful day. The quality of the day exceeded our expectations so thank you so much for this !
Hello Margot, Many thanks for this very nice review. We are glad that you had such a fabulous experience in Champagne with your guide. We really hope to see you again soon. Enjoy your day :)
Spent the day with Bastien went to veuve cliquot in the morning then an amazing lunch and off to a smaller champagne house in the afternoon. Great experience Bastien was very professional, knowledgeable, and kept the tour just as planned
Dear Yohel, Many thanks for taking the time to write this kind review. We are glad the know that you spend a very good time in Champagne with your guide Bastien. We hope to see you again soon. Bes regards My WineDays Team
Our trip to Champagne region was extremely enjoyable. First class from our pickup by our guide Bastien until we were dropped off at our hotel late in the afternoon. Besides all of the fantastic Champagne, our lunch at the Michelin star restaurant Le Foch was of the highest quality. We highly recommend this trip.
Hello Nicholas, thank you so much for this great review. We are glad that you enjoyed your VIP tour with Bastien in the Champagne region. We hope to see you again in one of our tours :)
This trip was amazing and our guide Bastien was fantastic! The lunch was so delicious. Everything about this day was great, from the individualized attention, the warm croissant the tour guide throughout the drive and the day.
Thank you for this nice review and kind words on Bastien ! We are glad to hear you enjoyed everything about the wine day and hope to see you again on tour with us !
Christophe picked us up as scheduled at our hotel and stopped to get us the most delicious croissants which we devoured while he drove to Champagne and gave us lots of information about the region and wine production (both long-time traditions and ongoing changes). Our first stop was at Moët and Chandon where the two of us had a personal tour through the caves that concluded with our enjoying very generous pours of Dom. We went to the abbey where Dom Perignon worked and is buried before going to a charming, Michelin starred restaurant for a fabulous multi-course lunch (with wines) that had been selected for us. We continued the decadent day with a great tour and many delicious tastings at Henri Giraud which was so different from Moët and Chandon. We loved seeing the differences between champagne houses and learned so much. Christophe was the perfect guide - so knowledgeable and engaging - it was just too bad that his driving duties precluded his drinking with us.
Dear Carol, a huge thank you for this amazing review!! We are so happy to know you both had such a good time learning, visiting and tasting Champagne! I will forward your comments to Christophe. It will make his day! Enjoy your trip in France and hopefully see you again soon :)
