This tour was exceptional, with a great, knowledgeable guide. Our party got picked up by Luiz in a van at the Reims train station. We went on a Monday (which I think is a less good choice for a day because many places are closed on Mondays). We went to the cathedral Reims first, then a more well known/ bigger winery for the first tasting and tour through their cellars, then a drive to Épernay; where we had lunch with the party and Luiz, and it was delicious. Then before we had another winery visit, a little walk down Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, a very private winery tour at a family owned winery for a delicious tasting, seeing Dom Perifnon’s grave, and then a little more champagne to drink at a park after that. We then took the train from Épernay back to Paris. Very lovely day trip from Paris and great selection of wineries and activities. I bought wine at both of wineries we went to, and my friend said while she usually gets a champagne headache, that didn’t happen here. It was clear the whole city (in each place) knew and respected Luiz and for good reason. Highly recommend any of his tours!!

An Intimate Introduction to Champagne

Cade, Apr 2026
We had an amazing time on this tour with Luiz! Our group was small, it felt more like visiting a friend in Champagne than a formal tour which we really loved. Our tastings were in private and with very knowledgable, friendly people/owners of the wineries. All the champagne was exceptional, of course, and Luiz added so much interesting information about not only the wine, but also the history of the region and its people!

Champagne toast 🍾

Janet_K, Apr 2026
Great tour with Luiz who couldn’t have been more helpful and knowledgeable. My sister and I highly recommend this tour!

Fun day in Champagne

Lindsay_S, Mar 2026
Luis was our guide. We were the first tour of the season so ended up getting a private experience. He was a very good guide, communicated in advance, answered all questions and was friendly. We went to one small, local family owned champagne house and a larger one. Seeing the difference between the two was wonderful experience. Only thing to note is if book this tour it wasn't 100% clear the the tour picks you up in Reims but ends in Epernay. Luckily trains at cheap and every hour between the cities, but that did come as a bit of a surprise when we found this out halfway through the tour.

Amazing Day!

Leah_A, Nov 2025
We had a wonderful day with Luiz. The tour was a great mix of education, sites, food and champagne! There were 7 of us and we all agree this is one of the best Viator tours we have ever taken.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Leah, I am pleased to read your feedback. Merci beaucoup

Excellent experience to learn about Champagne making

PEDRO_A, Nov 2025
Great very friendly guide. We had a great time with our very friendly guide and very much enjoyed the restaurant that he selected. We had a very worthwhile experience that we recommend.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you very much Pedro for your feedback. Gracias

It was such a wonderful tour!

Seiko_B, Nov 2025
The tour was absolutely wonderful! We visited so many different kinds of wineries — from local hidden gems to famous ones — and each had its own charm. Our guide was fantastic! He explained everything so clearly, and we learned so much while having a great time along the way. It was such an amazing experience — highly recommended!!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Seiko, Thank you so much for your feedback. It was a pleasure meeting you and Tonny. Cheers

Wonderful (cold) day in Champagne

Matthew_D, Jan 2025
We booked last minute due to issues with a booking through another service, and thankfully Luiz was able to accommodate us. Due to the time of year (early January), it was only one other couple on the tour. This did make the day feel much more personalized, but I am sure Luiz works to make every tour personal. We had a wonderful day, and Luiz has an incredible knowledge of the history of the area, the history of France, and the history of Champagne. Luiz picked a great place for lunch for us, and two wonderful vineyards. We will not hesitate to book again with Luiz.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi Matthew, Thank you so much for your review. It was great meeting you. Cheers, Luiz

Highly recommended

Greg_D, Oct 2024
Luiz was a very welcoming and friendly host and guide. His knowledge of Epenay and the Champagne region, with its history, and wine, was extensive and he conveyed this information in a very relaxed manner. He was very flexible with the tour and provided some extra interesting and delightful experiences.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Greg, Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure meeting you.
