Visite de Champagne en demi-journée en petit groupe - Visite de 2 petits producteurs / producteurs

What a great tour! Relaxed, as much info as you cared to absorb, and of course, delicious wines to taste. We went to 2 small champagne houses, farms really, and walked through their caves, ending with a tasting, about 3 different wines in each maison. Our guide/driver Adam was great, knowledgeable and charming, and really cared about the wines and the people who produce them. He adapted to the questions our particular group brought. We were a small group of 5, with different palates and from different places, which only added to the experience. The little minivan was comfortable and nicely air-conditioned on a very hot day. The drive through the countryside and vineyards was classically beautiful. The two champagne houses were similar in size, but the champagnes were very different in flavor - so interesting. The big champagne houses are also impressive, but this kind of tour is more like being invited into someone's home. My only regret is not being able to take a bunch of champagne bottles home with me. Highly recommended tour! Extra note: my train was incredibly delayed from Paris. I was able to text - via the Viator website I connected with the local company running the tour, who connected with Adam (guide/driver). They somehow managed to rendezvous with me one station prior to downtown Reims, with everyone else already in the minivan, and I didn't miss a moment of the tour. Really excellent customer service! They were totally pleasant and supportive about the whole thing, not stressed out. Merci 1000 fois!

Great time. Xavier was a fun guide for our group. There were 6 total and we had a nice time- the champagne and tours were great and it was nice to see some historical sites too. Very good value.

Very good experience. Xavier was phenomenal, knowledgeable and very friendly. Very good host. Definitely worth the money.

Our guide was Xavier and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. Didn’t take too long at any stop and had a great way of connecting the information to your every day so we could learn about champagne. It was so refreshing we didn’t feel pressured at all to buy anything or join any clubs like we get when we visit Napa. Highly recommend booking this trip for the half day!

Easy adventure through 2 well chosen champagne houses; great explanation of process by guide Anton. He is a knowledge and charming host, knows the region well, champagne sommelier. Lovely choices, presented well by Anton. Driving around, you get a quick feel for the beautiful region. Unexpected but cool quick stop, too, at the church/abbey where Dom Perignon lived and worked. A bit more information, history from the house representatives themselves might have been nice (but understandable that language may well be a limitation).

I cannot recommend enough Sparkling Tour for the Champagne tour in Reims and must single out our driver and guide, Martin! He picjed us from the railway station as agreed and was very patient as I had an injured knee. He was considerate, thoughtful, knowledgeable, kind and with a great sense of humour. We learnt about the region, the champagnes, the history, we left wanting to spend more time in Reims. Keep up the sterling work!!!

This was a wonderful experience for our family (parents and adult daughter). Alex was very entertaining and knowledgeable and went the extra mile to make sure the entire group was happy!

A great way to see and sample lesser known wineries. Our guide was excellent at explaining the region, the culture behind what makes a wine a champagne wine.

Our guide, Alex, was fantastic. He took us to two smaller producers where he gave a detailed description of the process of producing Champagne. The experience included tastes of three different bottlings at each of the two producers! The landscapes as well as the Champagnes were outstanding. We totally recommend this tour.

Alex was a great guide. Very knowledgeable. We stopped at 2 nice wine houses with tasting and tour. Alex gave us a lot of tips for things to do later in the week as well!
