Small-group Champagne day trip from Paris with vineyard walks, Dom Perignon, Reims Cathedral, and 6 tastings across family and big houses.
“In the description, you'll see that you'll visit two wineries for a total of 6 glasses of champagne. What I didn't see was the visit to two stunning churches -- one that had hosted the coronation of all French kings. There was plenty of time to see the churches, ask lots of questions of the champagne makers, and see the inner workings of both wineries. And the glasses of champagne aren't small sips -- they are full glasses! If you are lucky enough to have Carlyle as your tour guide, you'll have a fabulous commentary along the way with stellar driving!”
