TAILORED STAYS IN CHAMPAGNE

In December of 2019, 4 of us took a champagne tour with Marc-Edouard of OenoSpheres. It was ahhhmazing. Marc-Edouard was charming and so knowledgeable but adaptive to the different interests of our group. He gave us choices for our jaunt from Paris and made all arrangements for us to eat at a top world rated restaurant in the Champagne region. (He gave us less pricey alternatives but we couldn’t resist.)The food was amazing and fun (complete with a blind wine tasting). The chef greeted our table during the amazing meal and the wait staff was perfection. When our lunch went longer than expected, Marc-Edouard adapted our schedule, and we were still able to tour and taste champagne at 2 amazing boutique champagne houses.

We were introduced to OenoSphere by our hotel's concierge. All the communication with the company before and after we arrive in Champagne were responsive and easy. Marc-Edouard de Zutter created an itinerary taking into account our requests and interests. He was going to personally guide us, which we were excited about. Due to a big mistake on my part (I confused the date when we would have a full day in Champagne and told Marc the wrong date, one day after the correct date), we ended up having to burden Marc with trying to rearrange our tour for one day earlier than he scheduled. We were very impressed by Marc's handling of the situation. Even though it was my mistake, Marc made us feel taken care of. If he was frustrated by the situation, we didn't hear any of it. (...)

OenoSpheres was the company we used on our trip to Champagne last month. It wasn't a perfect experience, but all in all, I would rate them a solid "B" and would consider using them again. Communication could have been better, and scheduling was a bit awkward, but they were always on time and set us up for some unforgettable experiences that we could not have done on our own. The drivers were very accommodating and pleasant, and we were able to round out our knowledge of the Champagne region, so, in total, it was successful.
