Afternoon with two family growers, from Reims station
The two estates were very different, and between them the whole way champagne is made finally made sense.

Reims Champagne Tours Reviews
What travellers wrote after an afternoon with family growers, a day from Paris or a private car, retold in short beside each operator's own published rating. Comparing Reims Champagne guided tours? The ratings and prices sit side by side below.
What travellers said after the day
These are travellers' own accounts, paraphrased. The low scores stay in, because they tell you something useful. On a grower afternoon, about half the time is spent on the road between villages. At a big house such as Mumm, the house may pour one glass where a grower pours three.

Afternoon with two family growers, from Reims station
Good tastings and a knowledgeable guide, and the best of it was seeing the vineyards themselves rather than a big house in town with no vines to show.

★★★★★
Afternoon with two family growers, from Reims station
The small producers were the highlight, and not something we could have reached on our own. One warning: about half the afternoon is spent in the car between stops.
Hailey T. · Traveller · September 2026
★★★★★
Afternoon with two family growers, from Reims station
We came as a family of five, and the afternoon went beyond what we had expected.
Robyn T. · Family · Traveller · June 2026
★★★★★
Afternoon with two family growers, from Reims station
Six generous glasses, and a guide who taught us the history as well as how the champagne is made.
Holly K. · Traveller · June 2026
★☆☆☆☆
Afternoon with two family growers, from Reims station
Not a tour of Reims or Épernay at all: a long drive to a small house, narrow stairs and back gardens, and growers not to my taste. Pick a house in Reims if that is what you want.
Lori D. · Traveller · September 2026
★★★★★
Afternoon with two family growers, from Reims station
The church at the grave stop was closed for a wedding, but the two champagne houses and a helpful local guide made the day.

Day from Paris: Nicolas Feuillatte and a family winery
The contrast between a small house and a giant cooperative was startling. A long day, but worth it.

★★★★★
Day from Paris: Nicolas Feuillatte and a family winery
I expected small tasting pours and got full glasses at every stop, each after a proper explanation.

★★★★★
Day from Paris: Nicolas Feuillatte and a family winery
A packed itinerary, and comparing a smaller producer with a bigger one was the best part of it.

Day from Paris: Nicolas Feuillatte and a family winery
Our 30th wedding anniversary trip, with a kind guide who drove well and knew a great deal.

Mumm, two family producers and lunch, from Reims
A large house like Mumm first, then the cellars of two family producers, and a delicious lunch.
Veronica H. · Traveller · April 2026
★★★★☆
Mumm, two family producers and lunch, from Reims
At Mumm the house's own guides take over for an hour and a half, and pour one glass where the growers poured three. A good overview of producers of every size.
Bill L. · Traveller · June 2026
★★★★★
Mumm, two family producers and lunch, from Reims
We did it as a day trip from Paris: the trains were easy and the meeting point is steps from the station.
Kristin S. · Traveller · June 2026
★★★★★
Mumm, two family producers and lunch, from Reims
We were not expecting a four-course lunch paired with champagne, and the contrast between a big house and a family one was fascinating.
Mary P. · Traveller · May 2025
★★★★★
Mumm, two family producers and lunch, from Reims
Our confirmation said 9:30 but the guide expected us at 9:20 and nearly left without us. Be early.
Penny W. · Traveller · May 2025
★★★★★
Morning with two family growers, from Reims station
Book your party together or you may be split up. Ask to be dropped at the cathedral afterwards if you have time.

★★★★★
Morning with two family growers, from Reims station
Only a couple of us were wine enthusiasts, and the guide still held the whole group's interest.
Tom L. · Traveller · September 2025
★★★★★
Private day from Paris: a house and a grower
We liked combining a small house with a larger one, and preferred the small one: just us, our guide and the winemaker.
Suzanne W. · Traveller · April 2026
★★★☆☆
Private day from Paris: a house and a grower
The house we had been promised was closed for a few more weeks, which we learned only at pickup. Avoid the weeks when most houses are shut.
Mark M. · Traveller · February 2025
★★★★★
Cellars and vineyards day from Reims Cathedral
Mondays are a weaker choice, as many places close. We took the train back to Paris from Épernay at the end.
Emily S. · Traveller · May 2024
★★★★★
Cellars and vineyards day from Reims Cathedral
In early January only one other couple came along, so the day felt personal.
Matthew D. · Traveller · January 2025
★★★★★
Small-group day from Paris with hotel pickup
Lunch turned out to be a group meal at EUR 50 each, a surprise add-on. It was worth it, but the booking page should say so.

Day from Paris with a sommelier-guide
A lovely guide and good tastings, though I would have liked a large, fully working house too.
Steven · United States · August 2026
★★★★★
Day from Paris with a sommelier-guide
A long day, 7 am to 9 pm: wear comfortable shoes, and bring a snack and a cardigan for the chilly cellars.
Bianca · United Kingdom · August 2026
★★★★★
Veuve Clicquot day from Paris by train
Veuve Clicquot and its history, then out into the countryside for two small houses and a traditional lunch. A long day, and worth it.
Laura L. · Traveller · May 2022
★★★★★
Private day from Reims with Veuve Clicquot
Lunch in the cellar of a family-run house was the highlight, and we learned a great deal about vintages.
Liz K. · Traveller · December 2023
★★★★★
Private Veuve Clicquot and Moët day from Reims
The big houses are good for history and scale; the small producer on the way to Épernay opened our eyes.
Nadine F. · Traveller · November 2024
★★★★★
Private Moët & Chandon day from Reims
Seeing the difference between a small family house and Moët was the interesting part. A long day, but worth it.
Natacha R. · Traveller · May 2023
★★★★★
Private day: a famous house and a boutique one
The right balance of a big house and a smaller one, and lunch with a view.
Haiden W. · Traveller · June 2022
★★★★★
Private day at two famous houses
Veuve Clicquot was excellent. At Moët the house guide left mid-tasting, and nobody came back for 15 to 20 minutes.
Jay F. · Traveller · August 2025
★★★★★
Private day with three family growers
Three small family-owned vineyards, and we had each one to ourselves.
Blake S. · Traveller · July 2022
★★★★★
Private day with small producers and lunch
A veteran producer opened two old vintages from the cellar: nothing like the big house tours.
Liam B. · Traveller · August 2023
★★★★★
Private growers day with lunch
The producers were chosen from what we asked for when we booked, at a comfortable pace, with an excellent lunch.
Leon M. · Traveller · November 2022
★★★★★
Reims and Épernay day with Pommery
Excellent tastings in both Reims and Épernay, and the lunch in the fare was excellent too.
Karl S. · Traveller · May 2025
★★★★★
Two hours at the Coutant vineyard
We came mid-harvest, saw vines half picked and the press house at work, then tasted and could buy bottles.
Sam R. · Traveller · August 2026
★★★★★
Jeep in the vines above Épernay
Back roads in an old wartime jeep with a guide who co-owns vines, ending with champagne on a hill at sunset.
Hans D. · Traveller · April 2025
★★★★★
E-bike afternoon in the vines
A good day cycling round the vines, though I had expected more wineries, and closer to Reims.
Trish · New Zealand · August 2026
★★★★★
Half day with two growers, from Reims or Épernay
Two lesser-known houses and relaxed tastings, picked up and dropped off in Reims without a hitch.
Derek · United Kingdom · September 2026

An hour's tasting in a Reims cellar
A small group and we learned a lot: one of our best tastings anywhere.
Mia · United States · August 2026
★★★★★
Club Trésors de Champagne tasting in Reims
Over two hours of glasses and explanations, a real masterclass. Afterwards I chose bottles differently.
Marco · Netherlands · September 2026
★★★★★
Private day with three family growers
My husband and I were taken around the region and taught a great deal about how champagne is made. Each of the three houses brought something different, lunch was wonderful, and it made our first trip to Champagne one to remember.
Martha K. · Couple · Traveller · May 2022
★★★★★
Private day: a famous house and a boutique one
We travelled as a group of friends and had a fabulous time. Our guide was wonderful, we had a blast, and we would recommend the day to anyone.

Morning with two family growers, from Reims station
We booked this morning as a 60th birthday present for my mum. Our guide was informative and answered every question we had, and we thought it good value for money.

★★★★☆
Veuve Clicquot day from Paris by train
The train was easy to manage, and we loved Veuve Clicquot and the family-run winery, with a guide who kept the day interesting. The van was the problem: eight of us inside, and my husband, who is tall, only fitted up front beside the driver. For this fare we had expected a roomier vehicle.

What travellers keep saying
Growers mean time on the road
The family growers are in villages outside Reims, so a grower afternoon spends a good part of its time in the van. Travellers who knew that loved the small producers; one who expected a tour of Reims itself did not.
A big house brings its own guide
At the big houses the house's guide takes over and your own guide waits outside. Travellers found the houses good on history and scale, and the growers better for the people who make the wine.
Winter and Mondays shrink the choice
Travellers in January and February found houses shut, and one advises against Mondays. On a quiet winter day, though, a small group can feel like a private tour.
Ask what lunch costs
On one Paris day, lunch turned out to be a group meal at EUR 50 each. Where lunch is in the fare, travellers single it out, down to a four-course meal paired with champagne.

A tour with hundreds of reviews and one with a handful are not a verdict on each other. The gap is mostly how long each has been on sale, and how many seats it sells. A private day with a 5.0 from a few groups is worth reading closely rather than skipping.
