We were lucky to have Suzanne as our host of the day. She is such a great guide and knows a lot out of her own experience, so we learned a lot during the tour. We went to two maisons de champagne where we had a perfect lunch and the tastings were wonderful. The only spoiler was the weather. We had a great time.

Really fun tour. Guide picked me up from the train station in Reims and we drove the country side to 2 fabulous small champagne houses. The first stop includes a 3 course lunch with champagne pairings and the second stop includes 3 more tastings. Guide was from the area and super knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend
