Me and my 2 friends were picked up at Reims station where we also met our fellow tour guests, there were 7 of us in total 2 from Norway and another 2 from New Zealand.
Very nice mini bus collected us and our tour guide was brilliant throughout with excellent English we had a short vehicle tour of the major champagne houses with some interesting details.
On our day (Monday) we visited Mumm and its cellars and a tasting followed, (wear something warm as it can get chilly although blankets were available if needed)
Next we went to the cathedral and had a very interesting tour. Then it was off to the vineyards and we visited a cooperative press and producer of champagne where we tried 3 champagnes with a 3 course lunch. Each complemented the courses very well and we all made purchases of the wines we liked the most. Then it was off to an independent grower and producer and had a tour of their cellars and an explanation of the equipment used. here we tried a few more excellent Champagnes and Ratafia I purchased a couple of more bottles at a very good price. It was a shame we had no room for any more to carry otherwise I would have bought a case.
Then it was back to town and drop off.
The guide was very knowledgeable and myself and my friends all agreed we had an excellent time and learned a lot more about Reims and Champagne and it was a shame that it had to end!
