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.
