it's about the journey.
"It feels like drinking diamond dust."
Amélie Nothomb

We offer two types of tour formulas. The "Discovery Tour" and "A la carte Tour". The first one offers a tour with visits, tastings, lunch and ride, all inclusive. The "A la carte" Tour offers more freedom and flexibility to the client's demands ranging from special grape variety, such as champagne with a low amount of sugar or for specific "Cru". Both tours are private. You will be picked up early in the morning and dropped off at the end of the day at the place of your choosing. For more information, see below.
