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!

Raphael is great. His knowledge of the area, of the history of champagne, and of the champagne making process is extensive. Terrific experience. Thanks, Raphael.

Raphael was an amazing guide! This trip is a must do for your trip to Paris! It was so fun to get to see the Champagne region, check out two different champagne houses (Veuve Clicquot) and a smaller local champagne house. When we got to Reims we got to see the Notre Dame Cathedral before heading to our first tasting. We had a little time after Veuve Clicquot so Raphael took us up to the hills of a small town to check out the vineyard. Then, we took a lunch break at an amazing Michelin starred restaurant that Raphael booked for us. Best meal we have had all trip! Finally, we ended our day at Daniel Dumot Champagne house where we were running a bit behind so we had the opportunity to meet the owner’s son and have a private tour and tasting!

Rafael was an amazing guide. His knowledge was above & beyond, he made our day. He kept in contact with us before our trip and helped us with picking an amazing place for lunch. He picked us up at the train station & his van was very comfortable. The tour at Veuve was so interesting, it was probably the most amazing tour we have ever done. The tastings were amazing. The local champagne house tour was also so cool !
