Travel to and from, a small breakfast, multi course lunch, and tastings from 3 different vineyards is included. Additionally we visited a goat farm and got to interact with the animals and try fresh goat cheese. Regarding the vineyards, our guide, Brice did a great job of providing us knowledge on the grape, region, winemaking process, and key differences between how the US vs France does wine. Brice is very friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. He allowed ample time at each vineyard and was a great translator. He did a great job at picking out 3 very different vineyards. I would highly recommend this tour and look forward to doing another tour with him of a different region!

I stumbled onto Peggy's website and was ecstatic that the tour involved champagne sabrage and was a small tour (max 6 people). Peggy picked us up at our hotel in Paris along with 2 other couples. The drive from Paris was roughly two hours. We stopped at a small champagne house where we had a tour and did our sabering. After we went to lunch which was included. It was delicious! Then we went to two more stops. My husband and I really wanted to get an authentic champagne saber while there and Peggy made sure to find a place(she called a few stores) for us to stop by.

One of the best pieces of information I learned was how to find the right kinds of bakeries in Paris by looking at their signage outside. Definitely go the next time you are traveling to Paris!

And Trong was a great tour guide, especially for coming in on his day off, picking us up directly from our vrbo, to take us out for a most beautiful day in Champagne, which is surprisingly not too far from Paris, only about 2 hours by car. It was breathtaking in so many ways. The first place we went, Mouzon, was wonderful. They were so welcoming and the champagne was fabulous! Trong was so knowledgeable and friendly. It was especially nice to be shown around by a local. We had lunch at a delicious little place, in town, where we got to meet the chef. And then we went to the Pommery Champagne House, which was nothing like I would have expected. It was a very unique experience. The entire day was so amazing and the perfect way to celebrate my best friends 50th birthday! I HIGHLY recommend taking this tour! And you will be very lucky to have Trong as your guide! He was fantastic.

I booked a trip to the Champagne region thru Viator. After confirming pick up times and details via…read morephone the day before, Wine Passport showed up over an hour late and didn't have a proper seat for me in the van. The vehicle was ENTIRELY FULL and they had a small flip down seat in between the driver and the front seat passenger and I was told "The van is very full today, I hope this is ok." It wasn't ok with me for a 2 hour drive to Champagne and because I had paid just as much as anyone else in the van and didn't have a proper seat or safety belt. I elected not to go on the tour because the seating wasn't acceptable (or safe) and the guide apologized for the lateness and the less than ideal seating and told me he'd "try" to get the operator to refund me but he wasn't optimistic. What was worse than the disappointment of the lateness and lack of a real seat in the vehicle was when I raised the issue with Viator to try and get a refund after the operator never returned my call is that the operator lied about almost every detail. About the time communicated for pick up, about the actual arrival time of pickup, about the seating situation they offered, and even told them I got into the van and was "unpleasant with the guide and then got out." which was totally untrue as I never even got in the vehicle. Miscommunications and misunderstandings happen, especially in different cultures - but lying to make a case against not refunding a fee for a tour you never gave is unacceptable anywhere. If you feel justified in not refunding, why lie? What do you lose by refunding for a tour that was never taken? The good thing is Viator took care of me and refunded but it still stings to know these guys are that dishonest and don't care because they know that tourists either wont complain and deal with it or will need to leave the country and why should they bother? Be aware when booking with these operators and get all terms in writing. If terms dont meet what booking promised, take pictures and save all correspondence, as they'll lie and call you "unpleasant" and keep your money.

He's a great teacher and loves to share his knowledge (no question is dumb). The whole day was awesome and we learned so much. Richard picked my husband and me up from our hotel (the Westin) around 7:30 AM. There were two other couples in the car so, 6 of us total! Once you got out of the city, driving in the region was beautiful. We stopped at Moet Chandon first to tour a big name producer. We tasted a glass of champagne there and were on our way to visit Dom Perignon's grave/ beautiful church. Next, we went to a lovely local champagne house for lunch. We tasted 4 glasses of champagne there and a liquor. Lunch was tasty and, there were just the 7 of us there. We had a chicken and rice dish with gravy, a tart with berries and fresh whipped cream for dessert, and finally, local cheeses with french baguettes. Next, we visited another local champagne house where we did a tour and learned so much more about the region and co-ops. We then tried 4-5 different champagnes. We arrived back at our hotel around 5ish and just beat traffic. We loved the tour and would absolutely recommend to family and friends.Thanks Richard!!! TIP: Consider bringing an energy drink to make sure you can fully enjoy the final champagne house- our van started to get sleepy post lunch and trying champagne all morning!

From booking through execution, we were just thrilled that we decided to splurge on this experience. Given the short time we were in Paris and all that we wanted to do, Preston was able to arrange a combo tasting for us that took us to a private wine cellar to learn about and taste some incredible small production champagnes, a wine shop to try a selection of red and white wines with cheeses and meats, and lastly to a bustling local wine bar to get a flavor for how the locals enjoy a glass of wine with friends. It was an experience that ranks among our favorites during all our travels, with the added bonus that we have returned home and used our new found knowledge to buy some wines that remind of us of time in the City of Lights! Overall, we were thrilled both with how much we learned, with how gracious, informed and truly personable Preston was and of course, with the wonderful wines and champagnes. Our experience lasted over four hours and we felt like it was well worth the time and the money. When we return to Paris we hope to do another tasting with Preston to learn more, drink well and catch up with our new friend!
