How happy were we that the previous booking was cancelled as this tour is value for money. Apart from the tasting and clear and pleasant explanation from the guide you get to learn a lot about the whole process of making Champagne. They show you the whole process during a tour including a video presentation. All questions can be asked and are answered by the guide without hesitation. The tasting is super. Never thought about having champagne with chocolate but what a surprise this was.”
