Top Champagne Day Trips

This was a wonderful tour! Thomas was our guide and he had immense expertise in the champagne region and with champagne making process from farming through fermentation. We asked a lot of questions and we learned quite a bit. The scenes were breathtaking and very accessible with the eBikes. We also enjoyed the champagne tastings at Le Clos Corbier and bought a couple of bottles to take home! One suggestion - it would be worthwhile to review how the eBike works in more detail. A couple of persons in our group weren't familiar with the operation and learned it on the fly. They struggled up some hills until they learned how to engage the gears and eDrive. These persons lagged behind and it is always a good idea to make sure that everyone is able to keep up.

The drive and knowledge where to stop, what was there to see. This was most helpful. The museum and Ossuary are incredible. The driver/guide did an amazing job at showing us the sights and points of interest. This was great and intimate experience for my family ( 2 adult a 12 and 9 year old). We were the only ones on this tour. The Mercedes van was very comfortable. This tour did only a drive by of the city of Verdun, so be aware of that. Had to take photo of the gate from vehicle at rolling speed.

My coworkers (also friends) and I had such a wonderful time on this trip. The tour was expertly-led by Tom (a true wine professional). We learned so much - not just about the history of champagne making but also history of the entire region. Each stop was laid back and informative. The venues we visited, champagnes we tasted, and the food were thoughtfully selected/prepared. The small group setting was perfect. We lucked out by getting paired up with people we didn’t know, but with whom we were compatible. While the tour company has no control over whether or not different parties will get along, the relaxed and expert style of the tour leader, made it even easier for all of us to gel. We would highly recommend this tour over others that are priced a little less, but that don’t include lunch. Lunch was a treat! Even on a hot day, we had plenty of water fill ups (bring your own reusable bottle). We didn’t move from one venue to another too quickly, and we had the opportunity to take some beautiful photos. We were staying in Paris, so we took the train Epernay, which was also very easy. Highly recommend. Tom is the best!
