Another excellent visit
We visited in 2024 and liked it so much we returned with friends. It was, once again, the highlight of our second trip to Épernay. Everything about this trip is excellent. Our guide spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. We learned a huge amount in a friendly, interactive way. The "quiz" and tastings were great fun - particularly as the so called wine expert in our group came last! The site is small and intimate compared to the massive sites on the Avenue. The food and wine was excellent with very little left over. We were able to enjoy the weather and order additional bottles and extend our lunch. It is located outside Épernay but a short and inexpensive uber ride away. When we struggled to get back, the venue were able to sort taxis for us. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Incredible experience
We had the most incredible experience at Le Clos Corbier, Aÿ Champagne with Estelle as our guide. From the moment we met her, it was clear we were in expert hands. Estelle is not only deeply knowledgeable about the region’s history, terroir, and winemaking process, but she also shares everything with warmth, enthusiasm, and a wonderful sense of humor. Estelle’s passion for Champagne is contagious, and her ability to bring the region’s rich story to life added depth and meaning. What truly set this place apart was how thoughtfully Estelle tailored the experience to our group, which included an 80 years old and a 16 years old non-drinkers. She made sure they felt just as included and entertained, incorporating cultural, historical, and tasting that everyone could enjoy. Her ability to adapt to each person’s interests while keeping the pace relaxed and enriching was masterful. The value of the package of tour, tasting, and lunch cannot be beat. Lots of food, cheese, and champagne! Our brains and belly both enriched with this visit!
Highly recommend
We could not have asked for a better champagne experience. Our guide, Alvaro, was so knowledgeable, informative and passionate about champagne - we learned so much. The combination of learning about the grapes and vineyards, visiting the cellars and learning about production, then the quiz and tasting, followed by lunch must make this one of the most informative and well- rounded experiences in the region.
