Lovely area outside particularly with associated buildings around. Did the vintage cellar tour which was excellent with great details and information. Champagne tasting was good but not as impressive as the Verve location

Itinerary
Champagne Moët et Chandon Cellar Tour and Tasting at Moët et Chandon in the Avenue de Champagne at Épernay. The inhouse guide will take you through their historic cellars, a Unesco Heritage Site. At the end of the tour you will taste their Champagne wines, and visit their boutique. Claude Moët started producing Champagne in 1743, and his grandson Jean-Rémi excelled at making the brand world recognized. Among their customers you would find Madame de Pompadour, Napoléon and Queen Elizabeth II. The most famous Champagne in the world is one of the founders of the largest luxury group in the world, LVMH.
Champagne Avenue Let's drive through the glamorous Champagne Avenue of Epernay, where famous Champagne Houses are lined one after the other: Moêt & Chandon, Perrier-Jouët, Pol Roger, Mercier, De Castellane and more.
Hautvillers - the Cradle of Champagne wines Charming village atop the Valley of the Marne Valley, overlooking the river, Épernay and the spreading vineyards. We are going to stop for the magnificent view, and then visit the church where Dom Pérignon, the famous Steward of the local Monastery, lived and died. After seeing his tomb and talking about his legacy, we will drive through the village and hunt the dozens of medieval looking signs adorning the houses of this UNESCO site.
Cellar Tour and Tasting of a small producer of Champagne. There are thousands of small champagne producers in the small villages, some of which produce high quality wines for a good quality/price ratio. You will visit a selected one, looking into their process, machines, cellar and tasting 3 glasses of Champagne at the end.
We will stop at Épernay for the lunch break, where I can suggest good restaurants to pair food and Champagne.

Lovely day with Raphael as our guide. Enjoyed our experiences at Moet and Chandon, Cathedral and local vineyard.
Great experience! Great tour , flexible , listen to his customers, knowledgeable, reliable, arrived on time , good customer service care .
We had an unforgettable day on this tour. It was well worth the price! Our tour guide Raphael picked us up from our hotel and was friendly and professional. He took us to a small champagne house where we welcomed so kindly and given a very informative tour and tasting experience. It was a picturesque, beautiful way to start the morning! We saw the charming monastery of Dom Perignon and capped off the afternoon with an incredible, out-of-this-world tasting and tour experience at Moet and Chandon. Just a perfect day! You must do this!!
A fantastic day. Great comms from Raphael. Picked up promptly from our hotel in Reims. We had the best day, Raphael is so knowledgeable about the area and all things champagne. Perfect lunch recommendation and so nice to have a trip where we could walk up the avenue de champagne. We went to a local grower too where we got a more relaxed tour. The viewpoint at Hautvillers was stunning. I highly recommend anyone looking for a trip to book with Raphael.
A most excellent tour and guide. We loved every moment of the historical knowledge and champagne tour and tasting that our fabulous guide provided. Thank you for the wonderful day and memories!
What a great day! Raphael made everything so easy for us and was punctual, informative, personable, and a great guide for the day! We loved exploring Moet and the small producer - and had a great lunch at one of the spots he recommended! Champagne is a must explore region and why over complicate it when a personal tour gives you everything you need! Would highly recommend!
The combination of the large champagne producer with the small is a perfect blend. The knowledge of Raphael our guide outstanding
Raphael was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about champagne both the drink and region. Loved every minute!
We took a private tour with Raphael and had an absolutely wonderful day. He taught us so much about the history of the champagne region as well as the Champagne itself. We had a lovely tour at Moët Chandon and then visited a small local producer where we were able to meet the owner and drink champagne with him in his kitchen. Raphael was kind and also made a recommendation for one of the best lunches of our trip. Could not recommend this experience more!!
Raphael’s tour was amazing. We learned so much about history and production of champagne. A special part of the tour was visiting the small family owned ( 8th generation) champagne house and seeing how champagne is made. Raphael is the best!!!
Raphael was a great host and guide who toured us through a variety of spots in Epernay and the surrounding area. Over the course of the day, we enjoyed Moet, a very small producer, a fantastic lunch, and visited the grave of Dom Perignon. What a great experience for champagne lovers and aficionados, and also for those who just want to experience Champagne.
We had the best time and were very well taken care of! Raphael was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. I loved that he wrote us ahead of time and helped us plan a delicious lunch reservation. Both the large champagne house and the family-run champagne house were fantastic. I would highly recommend booking this tour!
What a great tour of Champagne. Our tour leader was terrific- he showed us all that was advertised and even more on the way back. We visited Moet and some smaller Champagne houses- had great tastings. Did a picnic in the vineyards. I will definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rafael was a brilliant tour guide and host. His knowledge of the area was second-to-none, and he made the whole day extremely enjoyable
Was really interesting seeing the difference between a small family champagne house and Moët. Great tour. Long day but worth it.
Our tour guide was outstanding and made it very memorable. Rafael took care of all the arrangements for the whole day.
Raphael was extremely knowledgeable and fun person with whom to hangout. We look forward to joining him again.
My husband and I had a wonderful time with Raphael. He was knowledgeable, informative, friendly, and flexible with the itinerary. We chose to visit two smaller champagne houses. The houses Raphael selected were both excellent, and made for interesting (and different) visits. It was a wonderful day, and a brilliant way to see Champagne. I strongly recommend it to others.
Raphael was an amazing guide! Super knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. He is very caring of his clients and made a great trip even better!
Wow! I can’t say enough good things about our day with Raphael. We spent some time seeing the sites in Reims (loved getting to go inside the cathedral and hearing all the interesting details), then to Veuve for a really wonderful tour & tasting, a great lunch in town (checkout Uncork’s blog for great dining suggestions), and an amazing time at a small local champagne operation. Raphael was a great guide very knowledgeable and fun!
Toda la experiencia fue muy linda ,nuestro guía Rafael muy atento a todo nos explicó lo que fuimos recorriendo en la combi nos esperó durante el almuerzo y finalmente conocimos una bodega agroecologica independiente donde fuimos muy bien recibidos
