Awesome tour!! Usually we do things ourselves without a tour guide, but we only had one day and there’s no way we would be able to do so much in such a short time. We don’t regret a bit! The day was fun and our guide was super knowledgeable and entertaining!

Wonderful day in Champagne, with both small house/cooperative and large producer tours. Our tour leader, Thomas, was informative, fun and engaging. Highly recommended!
