We were so pleased with a Champagne tasting with Preston a couple of trips back that we scheduled another yesterday with 2 friends from home. Preston's knowledge about everything Champagne related is enormous; he doesn't give a "canned" presentation but can talk as much as you like about any aspect in a pleasant, back and forth form that suits your comfort level and will tailor the tasting to your preferences. After the tasting he can help you order a case or so to send home. We did this last trip since most of these super little allotments are unavailable in the U.S. and were so pleased with the service that this time both couples ordered a case to be shipped home. Preston is also knowledgeable about French food; cheeses, breads, etc. and can give you suggestions for a few good restaurants in all categories. I promise you will be impressed!…

Preston chose 3 lovely champagnes and had light food that was very well suited for our tasting. Very informative as we learned quite a few new things in a nice relaxed setting.

Preston also arranges for tours to the Champagne region if your itinerary allows the time.…

My husband organised a surprise tour through Preston for a birthday trip with friends. He did a great job of putting together a tour around some fantastic shops, really educational too...making recommendations on places back in the U.K. we could pick up excellent cheeses......gorgeous buys along the way which we we laid out and tucked into at our final destination of a lovely Champagne cellar. We weren't rushed at all and he was a great, friendly guide, laid back and clearly very knowledgable about his trade. Loved it, our friends raved about it after.......would highly recommend.…

Excellent cheese and wine pairing tasting adventure with Preston. Organized, thorough, fun and informative. We were even sent follow-up notes after the tasting! This was a second adventure with Preston. We did a walking tour of the famous Rue des Martyrs two years ago! It was an amazing fun learning experience that has stayed with us! ---Must-dos in Paris!!…
