I have travelled with my cousin, we both appreciate wine and have a fair knowledge of winemaking and viticulture.
Our guide was very young and had very little knowledge.
The price did not represent the quality of the tour

Traveling with my 85 years young mother and a family friend, this was our first formal tour in this French vacation. And the last international adventure for my mom. Expectations were high and I felt the pressure as social coordinator. Stephane fully exceeded our dreams for a delightful and educational event. He deftly communicated everything in English and in French, shared history, local facts, terroir, politics, . . .and plenty of champagne. To top it off, he recommended an amazing restaurant for dinner where we may have enjoyed the finest meals of our lives. I kid you not. Book with Stephane and don't hesitate to ask questions.

Me and my friends had a fantastic time with Stephane! It was such a unique experience to be able to drive into the countryside and explore a lesser known side of the champagne region. We learned so much about the region itself and the champagne making & grading process. The cherry on top was being able to taste some champagne from one of the highly regarded small producers! The entire experience was great and something you will remember for years to come!

We had a lovely afternoon. I would really reccomend this tour. Stephane knows a lot about champagne and the area. He has great stories.

Fantastic experience, definitely a recommendation! Stefane knows a lot about the area and about champagne, and is an excellent host. Tour is catered to your needs. Loved the visit to the local champagne house, and we tasted no less than 6 champagnes :)

I really can't recommend this tour highly enough. Stephane's encyclopedic understanding of the history and viticulture of champagne can seem intimidating at first, but he's able to boil that knowledge down into fun stories that an absolute beginner can understand. It's also a real treat hearing his witty asides about the political dynamics of the different champagne houses--it feels like you're being let in on gossip that only locals know about. After a lovely day in the French countryside--and a few glasses of wine--you'll leave feeling like you could talk about champagne with anyone.
What an amazing experience, Stephane did an outstanding job! We drove through the beautiful countryside while Stephane educated us on the dynamics of champagne and how it’s produced. The winery he took us to was wonderful as well. We would definitely do this experience again!

Stephane has a vast knowledge of the Champagne making process as well as the history of Reims and the surrounding areas. His local connections provided a wonderful half day tour and we left with a renewed appreciation for Champagne (and a few delicious bottles). This was the highlight of a month in Europe and I would find a way to book this tour :)
