Our lunch was at a very cute restaurant in Épernay, and it was delicious! We had enough time to make a run to Moet & Chandon to take pictures and buy a bottle. We then had a great tour at Veuve Cliquot followed by our blind tasting in a beautiful vineyard afterwards. Sebastian was awesome- he did not make us feel rushed, but made sure we stayed on schedule to get everything done. I would highly recommend Sebastian…”

“Our driver Joel was amazing! Although we enjoyed the two chamoagne wineries, the tastings were a bit lacking at Boizel. At Boizel there was a baby on the tour detracting from the experience. The lunch was definitely not as expected... - There was no view. We were in Champagne region and the windows were to a blocked garden patio - The food was okay - Wine not noteworthy - There were fruit flies that landed in our food and wine - Service bland - Overall there must be better options. We had been to a Michelin Star restaurant in Paris that was phenomenal so this experience really disappointed.”
