Champagne Tasting

Paul_C, Dec 2024

Suprisingly the visit to the small Champagne house was the best part of the tour. The tour was more personal and and the champagne very tasty. Veuvre Cliquot was also very good. And the Champagne was exquisite. Purchased bottles from both houses

We had a wonderful time with Philipe. He is from Champagne and told us the inside story of the town, the Champagne houses, and some of the notable figures in the area. He also made a nice stop at the Notre Dame church and Dom Perignon’s chapel. Philipe stopped at a gas station so we could picked up sandwiches and croissants and they were the bomb!

Wonderful tour of Champagne with pickup / drop off in Paris

Bradley_S, Dec 2024

Our private tour of the Champagne region with Philippe was an absolute pleasure. He picked my wife and I up in a comfortable Mercedes van exactly on time at the entrance to our hotel. During the two hour drive to Reims he was friendly and chatted with us and shared some history and details of the champagne making process and also gave us some recommendations for when we were back in Paris. He let us know which locations we would be visiting and he had already made all arrangements. Because we hadn’t eaten breakfast, he stopped so we could have a quick breakfast before our first tasting.

In the morning we visited a small producer and had a private tour with one of the staff. We learned a bit about how that particular producer operates and tasted three champagnes. This was a great, personalized experience.

Next, we had a delicious lunch at a brasserie. Philippe had organized the reservation for us ahead of time. He also communicated with the restaurant staff to let them know we had some time pressure due to our second tour to ensure the check was delivered expediently.

In the afternoon we joined a small group tour at a larger champagne house. We enjoyed a longer organized tour and visited impressive underground chalk cellars. The tour concluded with tasting two champagnes and an optional visit to their boutique. We skipped this because we had elected to purchase and ship champagne home from the first location.

At both champagne houses we visited, Philippe clearly had established relationships with the staff. They were friendly and our visits went extremely smoothly. We were also given a travel agency discounted rate for our tasting at the larger champagne house.

We would highly recommend Philippe for a private tour of Paris, Champagne, or anywhere else!
