    Itinerary

    This is a typical itinerary for this product

    Stop atAbbaye Saint-Pierre d'Hautvillers

    Along the way we will head towards the charming village of Hautvillers, the cradle of Champagne. Located on a hillside, it offers a breathtaking view of the Montagne de Reims, the Marne Valley and the Côte des Blancs! Leaning against the nearby forest, nestles a Benedictine Abbey whose intendant-cellarer in 1668 was called Dom Pérignon! Born in 1639 in St Menehould in the Marne, he is one of the monks who participated in improving the quality of wine in our region. His discovery of the blending of different grape varieties and different vintages ensured his posterity. Behind the enclosed garden of the Abbey, the view is breathtaking over the "grand cru" and "premier cru" vineyards of the Champagne Appellation. The ideal place to discover the whole cycle of the vine as well as the hard "handmade" work of the Champagne winegrower. Isn't it "Good wines without good grapes"

    The end of the afternoon will be devoted to the visit of an independent winegrower who, through his family and centuries-old history, will reveal his cellars and part of the secret of his wine to you. The meeting of its gardener winegrowers and their champagnes is always a unique and unforgettable moment because they are the owners of 90% of the 34,000 hectares covered by the Champagne Appellation. By this act, they are the origin, the memory, the family tradition and the fight sometimes! They are the heart of the terroir.

We had a wonderful time! Angelique was an expert and it was a good overview of the champagne region.

Great full day tour!

Had an amazing time with Angelique on our tour around Epernay. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Lunch was brilliant in a proper "locals" restaurant. Plenty of champagne to taste throughout the day! 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing!

If you’re looking for a fantastic day out…book this tour! Angelique is amazing..super fun, passionate about the champagne region and knows her stuff. An absolutely lovely lady! The tour is not rushed but a full day of info and tasting.. the lunch is delicious. We highly recommend this small group tour.

Warm, authentic and amazing day exploring Champagne!!

My Brother and I spent a full day touring the champagne region with Angelique and will be recommending her tour to everyone I know! We just loved every part of the day 🥂. Angelique was very quick to respond via email and confirmed that she could pick us up in Reims and drop us at the end of the day in Epernay, this allowed us to see both incredible towns in the region!! We got very lucky and had Angelique’s tour all to ourselves, starting out with the house of Mercier and multiple champagne tastings, then an incredible and authentic French restaurant for lunch and onto smaller family grower (Dauby) in Ay - I think was my favourite spot of the day! We learnt so much about the region and Angelique is a local and oh so knowledgeable, explaining the history and stories of the region as stopped at gorgeous lookouts, abbeys and towns. The most wonderful day, thank you Angelique 🍾
