Epernay and Vineyards with Champagne Tasting

Gina P, Jun 2024

Great fun traveling along Avenue de Champagne in an open-air double decker bus, followed by a visit to see the vineyards of Hautvillers. Hosts were very welcoming and made sure we had a great time and sampled some delicious champagne.

My husband and I were traveling to Paris with our (well-behaved and well-traveled) 2 year old son over the summer and really wanted to explore the Champagne region but worried about how our jet-lagged 2 year old would be at the Champagne Houses so when we found this open-air bus we knew this would be perfect and enjoyable for all of us! Marie Antoinette and her husband were so lovely, friendly, accommodating from the booking the months prior to our travel to when we got off the bus. They were honestly just a joy! The tour was in French and only my husband speaks some French so we set those expectations ahead of time and knew that we would understand a little, but we'd get the tour of the sites, the sabering of the Champagne bottle, a joyful ride in a bus where you could drink champagne and our 2-year old would have a wonderful time looking around at all the sites. Marie Antoinette sent me the tour ahead of time in English so that I could read up on everything and know what it all was ahead of time, I thought that was wonderful. They also gave my son a cup to drink out of and provided some snacks/pairings with the champagne. To our luck one of the other guests spoke English so he did translate some to us which was nice. All-in-all I think it was exactly what we were looking for in our unique situation! We stayed the night at Hotel Villa Eugene which was just an easy lovely walk back to our hotel following the tour. I think there is an opportunity in the future if interest is there to offer tours in English too and you'd have great successful with non-fluent French speaking people. Happy to help provide ideas/suggestions for that if you ever do so in the future! I will be talking about this experience probably for the rest of my life and hope we find ourselves back in Epernay sometime in the future, we will surely be back and tell all of our friends about L'Imperiale de Marie Antoinette! Cheers! -The Kedzie Family

Note: THIS TOUR IS NOT IN ENGLISH! With that being said, I still had a great time! The couple who led the tour were amazing and sweet, views were great, and champagne flowing. Would definitely recommend to French speakers!

‘Fabulous time even in a storm!! An experience is what you make it and we had fun even though the weather was against us! Bring your own music, friendship, laughter and the champagne tour on top can only result in one thing, a fun time! We had a problem with our booking but Robert and Marie Antoinette were very accommodating and did what they could to make the tour happen, Merci!
