"OMG, where do I start? Probably with the fact that I am in the wine industry. As a result, I have a deeper understanding of the world of wine, have favorite producers, & since it was my first visit to the area I had some pretty strong opinions on what & where I wanted to go. But I also wanted the advice & convenience of a local expert. Our day with Stephane was magical & I absolutely cannot say enough positive things about him. His knowledge, humor, & hospitality are world-class. I learned SO much from him & his love for the region shines through everything he does. He created a custom itinerary that allowed my BF & I to experience Champagne on a whole other level & I will be forever grateful. Our only regret is that we didn't book a second day. We are already planning a trip back & can't wait to tour the region, this time leaving ALL the planning to Stephane. Do yourself a favor & don't visit the region without spending a day with Tours in Champagne!"

" Simply the best day with Stephane. We learned so much about Champagne, the region, and really about French culture. We had two wonderful masterclass which were amazing. We explored many Champagnes and couldn’t have asked for a more complete 1-day excursion into the region to go deep in the Champagne knowledge and experience."
