We had a great tour with Raphael. His knowledge of the history of the area and of the various champagne houses was great. We started with a driving tour around Reims. We were then taken for a tour of the Notre Dame cathedral. Then off to Pommery champagne house which was really good. From there, off to Epernay, stopping at Dom Perignon’s tomb on the way. Epernay for lunch was really good after taking Raphaels’s recommendation for lunch. Then off to a small, exclusive producer who was just lovely. Tour of their underground cellars, then a tasting in his dining room in his own house. He was so lovely and accomodating and the champagne was wonderful! With generous pours and some brandy to finish off, it was just a really great finish to the tour.
