We do not have enough superlatives to describe how fabulous our private champagne and wine tour with Preston was! From booking through execution, we were just thrilled that we decided to splurge on this experience. Given the short time we were in Paris and all that we wanted to do, Preston was able to arrange a combo tasting for us that took us to a private wine cellar to learn about and taste some incredible small production champagnes, a wine shop to try a selection of red and white wines with cheeses and meats, and lastly to a bustling local wine bar to get a flavor for how the locals enjoy a glass of wine with friends. It was an experience that ranks among our favorites during all our travels, with the added bonus that we have returned home and used our new found knowledge to buy some wines that remind of us of time in the City of Lights!
Overall, we were thrilled both with how much we learned, with how gracious, informed and truly personable Preston was and of course, with the wonderful wines and champagnes. Our experience lasted over four hours and we felt like it was well worth the time and the money.
When we return to Paris we hope to do another tasting with Preston to learn more, drink well and catch up with our new friend! read more
