Our guide was knowledgeable, charming and passionate about all things champagne. He knew the producers and the region well. We felt welcome and special.
The lunch was amazing. Great quality and flavors. I really liked that we weren’t rushed. My only “complaint” was the huge portion sizes. We let horrible leaving food on our plate.
Valentin has done a great selecting and building relationships with amazing grower producers. The quality of the champagnes we tasted were off the chart delicious.
Next time I’m back I’ll use Sparkling Tour again. Overall great value and extraordinary experience.
Excellent lunch group of six in a typically French restaurant 10/10
We visited three small growers and felt we were very knowledgeable about the history of champagne
All three Champagne makers were smaller and family-owned near the Epernay region and Christoph had a large wealth of knowledge regarding not only the Champagne making itself but also a lot of the local history. He was able to answer every question we could throw at him!
