We can certainly recommend Eric and Ana's Safari-tour. Besides the fact that they are super nice people to spend a day with, you see places that you normally do not see quickly. Eric and Ana are very enthusiastic about their region, their people and of course about wine ;-). They know a lot about the history of the region, the places to visit and have arranged everything down to the last detail. Eric and Ana work exclusively with small winegrowers for their wine tastings. During our wine tasting we received a lot of information about the winemaking process. The different types of wine and intended flavors. We had a great day. When we go to Alsace again, we will certainly contact Eric and Ana.

We will drive on the touristic road of the champagne area. You will enjoy views, discover the vineyards, landscapes of the area which are listed as UNESCO world heritage and go on with a champagne cellar visit and tasting. The vineyards are planted on the hillside of the mountain of Reims. At each stop, I will give you informations through funny stories and explain you why the place is unique but the Champagne too : the grappe varieties, the plants growing, the harvest and the most important the tasting ! My friend winemaker will welcome us at his place and we will visit his family exploitation. He will explain you his daily work and show you the different steps of production of champagne : from the press to the cellar going through the tanks room where the juices are stock waiting for the bottleling. We will save a lot of time for the tasting which is the most important. I also orgonise more complete tours in an all day with lunch and visits.

We went september 2020 to the area of Champagne. It was an INCREDIBLE journey to never forget! #makememories Stéphane was our private tourguide for 3 days. He’s a very nice guy and could tell us everything about the area and about the process of making champagne. He also knows very good local restaurants. Stéphane arranged a perfect planning based on our wishes. That’s exactly why i loved him as our tourguide. I definitly recommend to book a tour at ‘tours in champagne’!

We did their Alsace Discovery Tour with our 3 year old and 11 month old. It was fantastic. The car was immaculate and came with the car seats already installed. The driver was so friendly and helpful with the kids and understanding when our baby cried in the car a few times. He explained a lot about the history of the area and was very engaged with us. We would have skipped the castle to spend more time at the winery. The winery was also kid friendly. Can’t recommend enough. Fantastic experience.

Everything we did on this tour was just perfect. The day started with Stéphane picking us up in the Tesla. We went up to the castle and he gave very interesting background information on the history of the region and the castle on the way up. After the castle, we went to a wine tasting which was fabulous. We then went to two villages that looked like they were from a fairy tale. He was very knowledgeable and funny. I would recommend this tour to anyone who visits this region.
