Experience Wine & Beer Tours in Paris with Withlocals

"Highly recommend this tour with Michel to experience the Champagne region. He is a knowledgeable tour guide - we learned so much during our day together! Loved the experience of trying champagne from two unique wineries. Truly one of our trip highlights! "

"Michel, was a fantastic guide. This was one of the highlights of our two week trip. He is passionate about wine, Champagne and France in general. He is full of history regarding many topics. We were able to visit a couple of small producers as well as a mega producer with amazing caves. Michel is very accommodating. If there is a specific house you want to visit, make sure you let him know. \n\nOn top of everything, he helped select a few great local wines for us to take with us. He worked with a local wine shop and had everything ready for us to swing by, purchase and be on our way. \n\nHe also recommended a great restaurant that was one of our highlights. We accidentally left a passport at the restaurant and Michel took it upon himself to help track us down which avoided a catastrophe. I\u2019m a raving fan\u2026.!!!"

"Michel picked us up from our apartment in the center for Paris. We toured 2 small champagne houses (per our request). We were able to learn the champagn making process from the wine makers themselves. Michel was very knowledgeable and engaging. The cherry on top was a very well thought out lunch. Overall, it\u2019s experience that I\u2019ll remember fondly for years to come. "

"We were lucky to have found this private tour with Michel. It was, undoubtedly one of the highlights of our three-week trip abroad. While we both like to drink champagne, we knew we would enjoy having a good overview of the area, the process and the products from a local expert. He did not disappoint! Michel was a top-notch guide through and through. He was an excellent communicator, both before the trip to make sure things went smoothly and throughout our day with him. He was professional, a great conversationalist (we appreciated his excellent English skills), competent and knowledgeable. We felt he personalized our experience based on our basic knowledge and tailored our day accordingly. We got a great mix of experiences from visiting a vineyard, learning about the region and the grapes, seeing several producers of champagne, including visits to Pommery and an organic family producer. A highlight of our day was a lunch personalized to our own tastes with a local small family-owned cafe. There were train strikes on the day of our tour which added considerable traffic congestion, but Michel planned accordingly and took it in stride, making sure we still got a full experience with no rushing despite a later return to our hotel equating to a longer day for him. We would highly recommend Michel for this tour. We could tell he had a vast knowledge of the Champagne region and the production and while we were thankful that he personalized a baisc tour for our preferences, we could tell he had a vast array of knowledge and an engaging personality to share it."

"Michele was the ultimate host. Our day long experience was well timed and his attention to detail was impressive. Such a pleasant man. Each of our stops , including lunch in a small village, were easily conversed and felt like family. Without a doubt ye highlight of our quick 2 day trip to Paris and clothe majestic champagne region. Thank you Michel.. such a class act. "

"Booking and communication with Michel were simple. He picked us up at our hotel and off we went. He kindly accommodated a special request of mine, which was to stop by the Cimeti\u00E8re Am\u00E9ricain du bois Belleau and visit the American Marines, soldiers, sailors, and airmen that fought in the region during the First World War. Afterward, we went to two smaller wineries with a nice lunch in between. One of the aspects of this tour that I enjoyed the most was Michel\u2019s approach to selecting the wineries we visited; these were two smaller but more innovative winemakers in the region and we were able to enjoy a deeper dive with our tour of the facilities and, of course, excellent tasting flights! All along the way, Michel was very informative and educational in discussing the history and happenings in the Champagne wine region. Highly and enthusiastically recommend this tour as a perfect day trip out of Paris. Thank you, Michel!"

"We went to Loire valley with Michel. It was a great experience. Michel is quite a wine aficionado. Learnt a lot about the regional wine production. Would recommend a tour with him. "

"We had a wonderful time with Michael touring Champagne. He shared with us the fascinating history of the region and the making of champagne \uD83C\uDF7E. We tasted extensively and met the families who grow the vineyards and make the champagne. A wonderful time and some excellent new tastes. A true pleasure. "
