Perfect tour to experience Veuve Clicquot, a Boutique Winery and the city of Reims. We start off with a visit at Veuve Clicquot where you hear the story of Madame Clicquot inside 2000 years old roman mines, after which you taste their Champagne. Then off to visit the world famous Notre Dame of Reims gothic Cathedral, and a city tour of Reims, home of Mümm, Taittinger and more.
I'll suggest good restaurants to have lunch around Reims, where you can pair Champagne and delicious food. After lunch we'll go to the countryside to see the villages surrounded by vineyards, and visit a small Champagne producer, where you're going to learn how Champagne is made and taste 3 glasses of Champagne.
