About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- angeaustralia20160 contributionsThe ONLY WAY to visit the Champagne houses of Reims & Epernay!We just enjoyed a fabulous day with Stephane visiting the champagne houses of Reims and Epernay. It was so lovely to have a personalised tour and not be part of a group, as it meant we were able to engage with Stephane so we got the most out of the experience - his knowledge of champagne, the houses & the region was amazing and we learnt so much. Everything was very well organised, we travelled in a comfortable, clean, modern car and lunch at a local restaurant in Epernay was also delightful. Thank you Stephane for a wonderful day - your tour far exceeded our expectations and made us fall even more in love with champagne!!!Written July 17, 2024
- marcnat0 contributionsEnjoyable.Unfortunately for us we arrived when the renovations were on the go. So we thought it was closed and missed some of the tour driving about trying to find where to park and who to speak to. The staff were very friendly. We missed the introduction and made the chalk cellar tour. Fascinating but not more than a few metres of tunnels to explore. I was hoping for more caves and tunnels. There is a nice light and sound show down there and then you head back to the lounge for a tasting. You get to choose white or rose - vintage and non vintage of your preference. I preferred other houses where you move through to experience all 4 rather than having to choose just 2. But I guess this is the way they do it. Enjoyable. I think my expectations for Ruinnart may have been a little high.Written July 14, 2024
- louisenottingham90 contributionsGreat tour !2 hr trip into the cellars plus generous tasting after - great bar on site plus gift shop. Currently under a lot of construction to celebrate 300yr history in 2029 !Written June 8, 2024
- Vacation7288330 contributionsElegant & IntimateA beautiful, elegant and informative tour. While other tours offer more of a touristy (and busy) spectacle, I rank this one as my favorite because it was more intimate, authentic, and did I mention the elegant? The tour guide truly gave 5 star service and was so helpful even afterwards with getting us to our lunch reservation.Written May 28, 2024
- 245olegv0 contributionsInteresting tour to know the history of the oldest champagne brand in the world.Wonderful tour which will enhance your knowledge about the history of champagne. Ruinart started champagne business in September 1729, making them officially the oldest champagne house in the world. You will see the cellar, understand the business and after the tour you can taste this genios brand.Written May 19, 2024
- Juergen D0 contributionsPerfect TourExcellent experience with an extremely knowledgeable guide. We‘ll be back and will book Stephane again for sure. Learned a lot!Written May 10, 2024
- camyh20240 contributionsGreat family day in Reims!Stephane was amazing! He worked with our family to create a perfect day in Reims with our family. We had 3 kids and we were able to enjoy some champagne houses with them! He also helped us with train times and the whole process was smooth! Would 100% recommend! Hope to go back someday soon!Written February 25, 2024
- EdGee40 contributionsSome fabulous champagne!An excellent fun day! House of Moet started the day in style and that was followed by two other houses and tastings and a great lunch in between. Epernay is a very special place! Great day thanks to Stephane organizing the details and maintaining great communications. Yes…a great day!Written October 2, 2023
- Amy B0 contributionsA very worthy Champagne experienceWe had such a wonderful time with Stephane. The day was planned perfectly and he coordinated with us in advance to ensure the experience met our desire to visit local champagne producers. We were so lucky to visit during harvest and were able to see the producers in full action. Truly a unique and memorable experience. The lunch cooked by his wife was such a special touch, and visiting with them at their house really added to the day. Don’t hesitate to book with Stephane, you won’t regret it!Written September 17, 2023
- S3731QZmariaf0 contributionsDon’t miss this Ruinart Champagne house 2 hr tourGreat venue with beautiful art! Amazing history Marco was charming knowledgeable witty young host 👏Written September 1, 2023
- H2158NPjg0 contributionsGreat for familiesOur tour guide Lisa was very knowledgeable and showed us many great sites within the Champagne region! Biggest factor for going on a private tour was having a child. It allowed us to be able to see the champagne houses with ease while learning as much as possible. The family vineyards we visited were great!! I left the tour with a great appreciation for all the hard work that goes into each bottle of Champagne!Written June 28, 2023
- Jack201720170 contributionsChampagne in Greece!August 2022 we experienced an amazing tour with Stephane. This year we’ve come to Greece and had Stephane ship champagne to greet us here. Even his follow up service is exemplary!Written June 23, 2023
- Camper7854560 contributionsStephane and his Tours in Champagne IS a MUST if you visit Reims, France!This tour experience was AMAZING!!! The Veuve Clicquot tour and tasting was the BEST Ive ever been on. Our guide was very informative and interesting and the cellar was so beautiful to see!! The tasting was 5 star!!! Pommery was a beautiful experience as well! The special lunch at the local french restaurant was such a special experience and appreciate the chef offering a special menu for my dietary restrictions. The food was EXCELLENT!!! We appreciate Stephane and all his attention to detail and answering all my questions in advance and arranging all our tours. The day was the best we had in France!!!Written June 4, 2023
- F5570XZpatj0 contributionsStephane is an Amazing Guide!!!!Stephane (and Lisa) were absolutely amazing!!! This was our first trip to Champagne and we can't wait to return! Stephane was an amazing guide throughout our 2 day visit with him. Our only regret is that we didn't make it longer. He has a way of sharing his in depth knowledge of the area in an interesting and exciting way. Our visits to each of the vineyards were amazing, especially the smaller houses that he chose. His ongoing communication prior to our visit was outstanding while he was custom planning our tour. He patiently answered every question and was quick to welcome us to Reims once we arrived. Do not hesitate to schedule time with Stephane to see this amazing area! We miss you Stephane!Written May 25, 2023
- Melindaceplina0 contributionsFabulous Trip!Stephane was so hospitable and we really enjoyed our tour! We accidentally missed our train (make sure you give yourself plenty of time if you’ve never been) Stephane helped pick us up at a different location with no worries. He was super informative giving us knowledge on the towns and champagnes. We had two different tours and lunch with his wife in his home. We felt very welcomed and everything was so delicious! Thank you again for a great experience and we hope to see you again Stephane!Written May 2, 2023

We have an amazing time with Stephane and Tours in Champagne. We were a complex group of 4, from different countries, different languages, different eating habits (including one vegetarian), one person in a wheelchair and another one who could just join the group for a part of the tour. Stephane managed to help us get the most of our time without needs to worry about logistics, tickets, restaurant bookings, parking or any other complication, leaving all our energy free to discover the places and taste the wines. Our goal was to know and learn about champagne, so we choose the 3-days Aroma Tour, and it was superb. We had the opportunity to go to the big houses with their art galleries and Disney-World-like stuff, but also to meet actual growers and small producers making very personal (and delicious) wines. In each of the 3 days we have learned new things without feeling that we are repeating programs. Stephane also helps us with booking a car between Orly and Reims and with restaurant recommendations in town. As an additional bit of luck, we were there just in the harvest time. Besides the natural beauty of the moment, we took advantage of Stephane’s huge knowledge of the region and network with people to visit winemakers and see the grapes been pressed and to try the first juice just fresh out of the press. If you are looking forward to visit Champagne and go beyond all very usual places, if you want to travel but don’t want to have to plan for every detail, of if you want to do something specific in the area and need assistance to make it happen, just call Stephane and he will help you with a kind smile in his face. We do strongly recommend Tours in Champagne and will sure call them once we plan another trip to Champagne. Cheers!

My husband, best friend and I went to the champagne region for 4 days for a milestone birthday celebration. We were with Stephane for 3 full days and are now entirely spoiled in terms of travel. He was fabulous in every way and made this a trip of a lifetime We learned so much about the region, its history, the people, and of course champagne. Experiencing the region with the knowledge of an insider made this truly exceptional. Going to some of the big houses and also smaller grower/producers was more important than we would have known on our own.
This was a 10 star experience and making a new friend was a gift and bonus. Thank you Stephane and let us know if you get to our area.

Stephane developed a customized 3 day tour for us based on what we wanted to experience and explore in the Champagne region. I wanted a well connected expert to guide us through the region and help us learn about family owned small growers; and to learn their process.
What Stephane provided was deep expert knowledge and a robust network that enabled him to create unique tasting experiences for us. We tasted Grand Cru and Premiere Cru vintage and non-vintage champagnes that was exceptional and quite reasonably priced! In addition to what we brought back, Stephane was able to ensure 2 additional cases will be shipped to us!
Through his stories and introductions to 4th, 5th and even 8th generation family growers, we learned so much about different types of champagnes and how to differentiate among them. He introduced us to a retired (soon to be retired) champagne producer that has been making champagne since the late 1800’s. The highlight was this meeting that led to him taking us to his private cellar where we tasted vintage champagne 2004 and 1993/1994. It was through this tasting that we could really comprehend how champagne ages over time and how the flavors develop. We considered that to be the highlight over the 3 days!!
Whether your interests lie in going to the big champagne houses of the brands you know or going out to meet the local producers and taste richly crafted Grand Cru vintage and non vintage champagne - Stephane will create the tailored experience for you!! Highly recommend you plan your trip around his availability to maximize your Champagne experience! Thank you Stephane!!!
