A wonderful afternoon with a delightful and well informed host. Suzanne shared her love of champagne and willingly answered all our questions. Highly recommended !
Thomas is an outstanding guide. Pick up at the train station was straight-forward. We stopped at Hautvilliers, a gorgeous viewpoint, and visited 2 independent champagne makers. We saw the chalky soil where the vines grow. We learned about the champagne making process including seeing a cave. Harvest was occurring, so we saw people in the fields working hard to collect the grapes. The villages and vines of the reason are gorgeous. This tour is well worth your time and money. Don’t miss this opportunity.
Great guide - Chloe. The only issue was that this was an English speaking tour and 2 of the guest were not too fluent so the 3rd on their party did a lot of translating while Chloe was speaking - a little distracting
We had an awesome experience. Would highly recommend
The tour guide Zoe was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and generous with her time. She knew all about the champagnes and production process. She was also a good driver. It was a nice experience with the 4 stops which included 2 champagne growers.
Emily was so knowledgeable about the history and making of wine. So friendly and accommodating. We saw other sights/places besides the 2 estates where we had lovely tastings. A really great way to spend an afternoon in Champagne
We really enjoyed this full afternoon tour with our excellent & knowledgable guide Jerome. We visited 2 family-run wineries, learned all about champagne - history and production - and sampled chilled glasses of the different varieties. There was the opportunity to purchase bottles too. A visit to a local church (burial place of Dom Perignon), views of the local countryside and vineyards, as well as great conversation with Jerome all enhanced the trip - thank you!
Bonjour, Jerome will be delighted to hear this! Two family wineries, stunning views and great conversation, what a perfect afternoon in Champagne. 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 🥂

Dear Sara, So glad the tastings delivered and that you found some bottles to take home straight from the vineyards! Champagne never runs out of surprises, and we would love to share more of them with you! Best regards, A la Française Champagne Team 🥂
