This trip was 3 generations. We enjoyed both tasting presentations, as each was quite different from the other. Having a driver made the adventure even more relaxing. Also seeing the cathedral as part of the historical significance of the region tied things together well. Great conversation comparing experiences.
We had a fantastic Ride from Paris to Champagne, we saw three wonderful houses had a great lunch and it was a very professional and enjoyable trip!
We had a wonderful tour operator and driver, Roman. The day was magical. Everything was special, smooth and fun! Highly recommend
