3 days in Champagne - Cellars, tastings, winemakers meetings and heritage

It has now been three months since our Christmas trip to Reims and barely a day passes without thinking back upon our champagne experience with Stéphane. These are memories that will last a lifetime and we cannot wait to return to the region. Stéphane’s knowledge of champagne, his wonderful storytelling ability and his French joie de vivre made the tour an unforgettable adventure. His intimate relationships with the champagne houses means the journey through this fascinating part of French history feels personal and engaging. To witness the champagne making process first hand, learn about the region and it’s history, and perhaps most importantly, drink some of the finest champagnes made right from the source, is a must for a lover of bubbly. You won’t regret it. À votre santé.

We spent 3 wonderful days with Stephane learning about champagne, visiting both big houses and small producers, and seeing the beautiful areas of Reims and Epernay. Stephane customized the itinerary based on our requests and was incredibly communicative and responsive during the planning process. We found that he was just as knowledgeable (if not more) than the guides who provide the cellar tours and appreciated the private tours he arranged. Although the famous champagne houses are a must-see for first time visitors, we loved the small producers the most. I did quite a bit of research to compare your companies, and I’m so glad that I booked with Stephane. We will absolutely book with him again on our next trip.

3 days in Champagne tour by Stephane was amazing - exceeding our expectations. The tour provided a holistic perspective of Champagne production including tours and tastings at several small and large producers in Reims and Epernay. We learned so much - not just about Champagne but of the region's history and culture. Breakfast and lunch were delicious at places we would have not been able to find on our own. Our guide Stephane was welcoming and hospitable, extremely knowledgeable, responsive to our questions and adaptive to our tour. We would highly recommend this unparalleled experience.
