Journée Dégustation chez Moët & Chandon et 2 Grandes Maisons à Epernay

This will be an unforgettably amazing journey in your life. Stephane is the best tour guide we've met. I am so sure that you will enjoy Stephane's fascinating story-telling, friendly guide and passion towards Champagne as much as we've experienced. Cheers! Santé!

It was amazing! We learned so much and had the best time. Stephane knows everything and is so kind. He really wants to make it special for you and he succeeded! You get great value for money, because it is a once in a lifetime experience.

We had a great time touring and tasting with Stephane and his friend Jean Paul. Being wine growers ourselves we are always skeptical of wine tours but this was very special and we were able to really connect with Stephane and Jean Paul and have our more in depth questions answered. The wines that we tasted were very special and unlike what you would be having at other houses, we tasted vintages from (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) Stephane also gave us some recommendations for shops, bars, restaurants, and other things to do in Reims during the drive back. I would highly recommend this tour!

With a vast background in tourism and a passion for local champagne, Stephane is able to give you exactly what you are looking for: an honest visit to local producers without the marketing and branding layer you would easily feel when visiting a big champagne house. We had the unique experience of walking into a producer (Paul-Sadi champagne) who just presses the first batch of grapes after the harvest that started that day. This happens only during 7 days a year! Great experience, would recommend this to any visitor of the region who cares about the champagne making process.

Stephane picked us up at our apartment and drove us to a village in the Champagne district where we visited a small champagne producer. On the way he engaged us to explain some of the basics of champagne production and pointed out sights. Upon arrival he introduced us to the producer and we headed into the vineyard. We were fortunate to be there just before harvest so we were able to tase the two varieties of grapes and consider how they would taste in the bottle two years later. The producer did not speak English so Stephane translated. We then went into the facility where the producer showed us the entire process including how barrels are used to add character. The visit concluded with tasting the various champagnes he makes and the opportunity to purchase bottles at a great value.
