Veuve Clicquot Tasting and Fun Private Tour in Champagne

Barbara_M, Aug 2024

This tour was fantastic from start to finish. Our tour guide Raphael was extremely knowledgeable, not only about champagne, but of the history of the city. He was also able to make recommendations for other restaurants and things to do while we were there. I would highly recommend this tour but I guarantee that if your tour guide is Raphael, it will be exceptional.

This tour is tre bien (wonderful!). Leading up to the tour, Raphael - the tour guide - did a great job of communicating with us about all the details! Getting to Rheims from Paris, where to eat lunch when you take a break etc. Le Petit Compitour is where we chose for lunch from his list and it was delicious!

Veuve Clicquot delivers; the property, the tour guide, the winery, the gift shop all sparkle like the fine bubbles we drank. I was pleasantly surprised to learn the story behind this champagne (ladies, I’m looking at you!). The smaller winery was everything you would expect. The owner provides the tour and it’s up close, personal and educational. We bought a case (here that’s six bottles). Between the two wine tastings, I feel like I learned a great deal about my favorite wine! 🥂

Far and away (after the epic bubbly bien sur) the best part is Raphael himself. He is an official French (not just wine!) tour guide and know his French history and Rheims (Hans in French). Every question we had, he had the answer for! He is professional, kind, helpful and highly educational. What an incredible history behind Rheims - this medium size city in Champagne! We were treated to a tour of the city (pleasant surprise!); stopping at Notre Dame Rheims and other points of interest. As a Catholic, Raphael taught me so many things I didn’t know! Oui oui!

I highly recommend this tour! Cheers! Au revoir!

We had an amazing time with Raphael! He was communicative and extremely friendly and knowledgeable. (He also has a great reputation in the community as we heard at both wineries we visited.) He was great with our one year old who was along for the ride too. Raphael was so accommodating the entire trip, and had extra knowledge to add at each stop and as we were driving around to add extra context. We very much enjoyed our visit at the family winery, and were pleasantly surprised at the tour of Veuve Clicquot too - it was informative and more personal than we had expected. All around a fantastic day and we could not recommend Raphael more to anyone looking for a guide through the champagne region!
