Angelique is an incredible guide. A native of Epernay she was able to share many fun stories about the region. The tour was family friendly and she went out of her way to make sure my two young daughters were also engaged. The champagne we tasted was fantastic and it was great to try champagne from more boutique domains. If you are going to Champagne, look no further, she is the best!

Angelique was...

Angelique was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about the region. Her history working in the champagne industry really showed as she was able to share anecdotes and trivial gems about the region and its people. You could tell she loves her home region and wants to share it with her guests. A great day out.

What a ride!

Angelique was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable about wine making and history in Epernay and beyond. We booked the trip to see and taste champagnes from family run vineyards; this tour did not disappoint! Book this experience now!

An experience not to be missed in Champagne

HAZAL_U, Jun 2025
I gifted this tour to my parents, and they absolutely loved every moment of it. Angélique took exceptional care of them, offering a truly unique experience thanks to her deep knowledge of the region, wonderful sense of humor, and warm hospitality. Even though my parents didn’t know much about Champagne before, they returned with a lot appreciation for it—and a newfound understanding as well. If you’re in the area and looking for a memorable and personal experience, I truly recommend this tour—100%!

Experience Small producers

Elizabeth_M, Aug 2024
Angelique was awesome, very French (great English) and great energy. She was fun enthusiastic and told great stories and gave us great information. Leave you LV bags at home and experience the small family producers of champagne. It’s not about status, it’s about quality. Merci aussi a Clementine at the Dauby family vineyard and Elisa at Michel Fagot, they were lovely, fun and very informative. Don’t miss this experience with Angelique, the very best!

a nice personal tour

Angelique, ein sehr sympathischer Guide. Etwas weniger Auto fahren und dafür ein Weingut mehr, wäre perfekt.
