I am a bubbles nut, so hard to really pass up on one of the most prestigious brands in the world!…read more
Took a train to visit the town of Reims and quite honestly made the jaunt on foot to visit the winery. Obviously, the Champagne region is split between to major cities, but I opted for Reims, mostly due to wanting to visit two large Champagne houses. The experience involved at Taittinger is similar to most in the area, but you are really coming for the history and the mass cave system! The tour itself takes a little over an hour but has some great photo ops as well as history to take in including the famous UNESCO cave site. You end with a flight of choice (What you prepaid for) and some time to mingle with the guests and staff. When it comes to the production side, do not expect to see much of that as its not included, but other local champagne houses give you more insights if needed. The bubbles themselves are divine, so no complaints there, but please keep in mind this is not a US based tasting where you could ask for additional pours, they are quite strict about your flight, so keep that in mind.
Great stop and would highly recommend!
