Great Morning Buzz
We had a great experience. The tour was engaging and fun. We learned a lot about Champagne even though we have lived outside of Napa.

Wonderful morning with educated guide and great champagnes!
What a wonderful morning we had. Emily was a fantastic guide- very knowledgeable, and explained things very well. The morning included slides so we could picture what she was talking about. We sampled 4 champagnes- generous measures- and all came away feeling we knew a lot more about champagne and its processes than before. Highly recommend.
Operator response
Bonjour, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable morning with Emily. It’s great to know that you appreciated her explanations and the visual presentation, and that the Champagne tastings helped you learn more about the region and the winemaking process. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Emily. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to Champagne one day! Best regards, A La Française Champagne Team 🥂

Champagne fantastic!
We had a fantastic experience. Our guide Chloé was very knowledgeable - and funny! A truly enjoyable morning where we learnt a lot and enjoyed some delicious champagne. Left tipsy so that’s a win too! We’d seen some other reviews that said there was a good coffee shop down the street so we went there beforehand too. It’s called Holyshot and well worth a visit.

Excellent class and tasting
An excellent workshop that would suit even those who have some knowledge already. Trying to identify different aromas was fun and matching to the tastings informative. Anne was an excellent instructor and made the session extremely enjoyable. The champagnes we tasted were lovely and excellent value to buy. Thoroughly recommend this class

Identifying the different aromas and matching them to the tastings is such a fun way to learn, and it sounds like she made the whole session both enjoyable and informative.

Great start to a trip to Reims
We had an amazing time learning all about champagne and tasting the different varieties. I would highly recommend this if you are visiting the area. Emily was fantastic and even gave us recommendations for places to eat around town.
Operator response

Classy and interesting champagne education
We booked this tasting last minute because we were too disorganised to book a champagne house in advance and I’m so glad that we found it. It was great! I went with my wife and three adult children. Anne was so passionate and knowledgeable about champagne making and its history. She made us all feel welcome for the moment we arrived. I now understand what cuvee, brut, and vintage mean in the champagne world. A central location, great champagne tasting and a lovely way to start the morning in Reims. Thank you Anne!
Operator response
Dear Daniel, Anne will be so happy to read this! Her passion for Champagne and its history clearly made the morning special for the whole family. So glad the last minute decision turned into such a lovely start to the day in Reims! A bientôt in Champagne, we hope to see you back very soon! Best regards, A la Française Champagne Team 🥂

Enjoyable
My daughter and I took a morning train from Paris to Reims. The tasting location was a very easy walk from the train station. We had some time ahead of our champagne tasting so we found a nearby Cafe, Holy Shot, and had cappacinos and croissants. The tasting started right on time and was very relaxing and informative. Afterward, we found a good restaurant to have lunch, and then visited a farmers' market. We took an afternoon train back to Paris. I would recommend this champagne tasting. The hour and a half was just the perfect length for this event.
