Spectacular day. Luiz brought so much knowledge of the region and of champagne and wine. Each winery had a different perspective on the product. Lunch was insanely scenic.
Delphine made our Champagne tour an absolute highlight of our trip. Her passion for Champagne is obvious from the moment she starts speaking, and her knowledge is exceptional. Having worked in virtually every role within a winery, she brings a unique perspective that goes far beyond the usual tour. She has thoughtful, well informed opinions about Champagne, and hearing the stories behind the production process made every tasting even more enjoyable. We loved every minute of the experience. Delphine was engaging, enthusiastic, and genuinely excited to share her expertise. If you are looking for an authentic and memorable Champagne tour, we cannot recommend her highly enough.
We had an amazing day with our wonderful guide Carolina! It was great to visit some less well-known Vineyards and really get a taste of the region.
I had a lovely time on this tour and I was amazed how knowledgeable Luiz was when it wine and the history of the province of Champagne. Besides the great tasting wine and the beautiful scenery, what made this tour great was how nice and friendly Luiz was. What a cool guy.
A wonderful day with Carolina as our guide. She took us to 2 smaller family Champagne houses. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the region, history, and champagne. She booked us a great spot for lunch in Hautvillers. The village is small so it was a short walk from the Abbaye Saint Pierre, where Dom Pérignon spent the latter years of his life perfecting the bubbly delight. Later we were joined at our second vineyard by Luis who was leading a second tour. He personally gave the tour of this cellar. Great team! Highly recommend!
We spend a great day with our tour guide Caroline visiting two small family owned houses. We learned so much about champagne. The tastings added more appreciation for this complex product. Bought some bottles to take home 🍾.
This was a 12 hour fun filled champagne Tour! Luiz was not only personable, but very knowledgeable and taught us so much about champagne and the region along the way. We've taken numerous tours with Viatour in different parts of the world, and this was by far our favorite! If you're trying to decide which one to go with, this is hands down the best!
Amazing day! Wine was wonderful. The tasting experience was top notch. The small group was perfect to learn about the wines and the region.
An excellent tour with Luiz. He is friendly and very knowledgeable about champagne and the whole region. We were happy to visit boutique champagne houses rather than be driven around the big name tourist destinations. Delighted to recommend Luiz for an exceptional experience.
Best champagne experience we could hope ! We discovered a unique atmosphere, Splendid locations, wonderful vineyards & premium quality champagne. It is not another industrial & touristic tour in the region. Caroline is the best guide we could hope for, she knows everything that needs to be taught, her relationship with the winemakers is special and it makes the visits even greater. I would recommend 100% to anyone who would like to do a REAL wine tour.
My family & I highly recommend Luiz and Paris Wine Tours for a magical day in Champagne. Luiz made us feel welcome and exposed us to excellent small producers and a fabulous lunch in Ay. The trip to the Reims Cathedral and to Hautvillers were highlights as well.
Luiz had great communication and provided an interesting and informative tour. We booked a group tour but it ended up being just the 6 of us. From the beginning the atmosphere was friendly and his knowledge and passion for wine was evident throughout. He was happy to answer questions and kept us engaged throughout our time together. It was clear he had strong relationships with the champagne producers and they were places we never would have found on our own. Without a doubt I would recommend and definitely will consider doing another tour. It was a value for €190 for the approximately 7.5 hours tour. This is great for couples, groups, or anyone interested in learning more about how champagne is produced from small local growers in the region.
Louis is a truly fantastic host and gave us the most wonderful day during our girls' weekend. He's incredibly knowledgeable about champagne and everything related to it. Besides the wine tour, he helped us with other tips about the area and took us everywhere. Fantastic, highly recommended!
Luiz and his team are amazing! Very knowledgable, very hospitable and a true added value to your visit in the Champagne. Thank you Luiz, we had a blast!!
What an amazing tour! This was an amazing small group tour with a knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic somolier guide. We were treated as VIPs at every stop. Our guide, Louiz was simply the best! Highly recommended. Excellent value.
Yesterday we had a fabulous small tour with an extremely knowledgeable and personable sommelier Luiz in the Champagne region. Beautiful scenery, two amazing tastings and a delicious lunch. We learned so much about the craft of producing champagne, how best to drink it and the history of the industry. If you are a lover of fine wines, and the peace and beauty of the countryside I would highly recommend this company for a small guided tour. One of the highlights of our past seven weeks exploring Europe.
After reading the reviews and looking for a long time I chose this tour. We had a lovely day however felt disappointed with some of the day. I had requested to go to tattinger or verve and was discouraged from doing so however as a New Zealander this would have been great to see. We finished the tour on Champagne avenue and again I feel this would be a great hour to have wandering this beautiful street and visiting one of the large caves. We had the most beautiful lunch and loved the scenery and the champagne but felt the places we visited were sterile and uninviting. The explanation was good but too long and in depth for what we were looking for. Overall the day was nice and host lovely it just wasn’t quite what we were after!
We had the perfect day in the Champagne region! 🍾 Visited Epernay, Hautvillers, and the stunning Reims Cathedral. Everything was organized so well, and our guide Luiz was amazing—so caring, patient, and knowledgeable about the history and present of Champagne. Loved the bubbly tastings at two charming champagne houses and brought home some bottles. Big thanks to Luiz for showing us that amazing vineyard view. Cheers to great memories and new knowledge! 🥂✨
A fantastic day in the Champagne region that will be a lovely memory from the trip to Paris. Our guide Luiz was very nice and taught us lots about champagne and its history. We visited two wineries and both offered champagne of the highest quality. It is a small group which makes the experience more personal. Lunch is not included but we stopped at a good restaurant so we could eat together. Of course I had a couple of bottles of champagne with me. I recommend this excursion to anyone who enjoys Champagne and wants to see this amazing place.
A fantastic day in the Champagne region. Luiz was an incredibly knowledgeable and nice guide who taught us a lot about Champagne and some history during the day. We visited two vineyards with quality champagne.
