Top Ay Day Trips & Excursions

Fun tour, beautiful scenery thru the vineyards. Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. You need average to above average bike skills to enjoy it thoroughly. Great wine!

An excellent experience, Philipe was extremely knowledgeable about everything champagne as a previous champagne maker and his early experience learning the business in the vineyards . His commentary along the way was most informative and our understanding and education of the industry, production, challenges and successes is now way better than we had before. The lunch was great in Ay Champagne and we had the opportunity to say hallo to Isabelle the owner of the company. Although the funky eclectic beach car was unique I think we would have preferred a small luxury vehicle to match the price of the tour in the future and a pickup direct from our hotel in Epernay . We were dropped back directly at the hotel . Thankyou for a great experience

Due to the heatwave, our trip was switched from e-bikes to a minivan which was a bit disappointing, however the tour was still excellent and informative. Our guide was great - she was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We visited vineyards and 3 different champagne producers with tasting - each place was contrasting and uniquely individual. A fascinating tour. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely brilliant day - can’t speak highly enough of it. Philippe is an expert in his field and he spent the day showing and telling us everything he knew about champagne making. We started at the vines and moved right through the entire process, on the ground and in the cellars of smaller, artisanal houses in the countryside around Epernay. Sure, do a few of the big houses, but if you want passion and craft this tour is for you.

Our day with Philippe was amazing. His knowledge of Champagne, and the Champagne making process was astounding. We learned so much and more importantly, really enjoyed his company throughout the day. The aroma workshop was lots of fun as were the amazing food pairings. Tracy and I had a truly memorable experience, and I would recommend this tour to absolutely anyone interested in Champagne, food, or the history of the region. Thank you so much for making our anniversary trip such a memorable experience.

This was by far the best tour we took. Marine was an amazing tour guide and she answered all of our questions and even managed to find answers to some of our more odd ball questions. We did an English tour and she helped explain some French to us as we were confused by some of the grammar. The champagne and food were amazing. We really enjoyed trying the smaller houses. It seems like the smaller houses have more of a variety of smells and flavors than the larger houses. We were stuffed at the end of the tour and could hardly finish the final tasting. We really enjoyed the exercise at the beginning that has you identifying scents. It really helped me express what I did and didn’t like in champagnes. This helped me in the tastings we did on our own to pick champagnes I’d really enjoy trying.

Contrary to what one of the group members thought, it is still a long way by bus before you reach the vineyards, it is not a pub crawl and beforehand it is very important that you have a good lunch. And even with e-bike you need a bit of fitness to do this tour. If all that is not a problem, then you have a very nice afternoon with a good guide / bike repairman who can tell a lot about the region and the wine champagne. At the winery you can also buy champagne and matching glasses. Nice as a souvenir.

I recommend! All about champagne!

Our guide was Felipe and he was amazing! We loved our tour is was so much fun!

This was a perfect afternoon activity. The scenery was beautiful and learning about the vineyards and champagne making process was so interesting. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and unique experience.

This was an excellent tour. We had been in contact beforehand to indicate our desire to learn, at a higher level, about the process of making champagne, particularly the influence of terroir and the rationale around the blending process. Our needs were fully met and included both vertical and horizontal tastings to help us understand the various influences on champagne production. Our guide was knowledgeable and the champagne houses we visited, very welcoming.

Great day with our knowledgeable guide, Mathiis. Enjoyable tour in comfort. An excellent way to explore the Champagne region.

A wonderful experience. Our guide Suzanne was welcoming, friendly and do knowledgable. She clearly has a passion for champagne and the area. E bikes were a dream and easy to use. Sun shone and we loved tasting the family champagne ( 3 glasses) Would highly highly recommend. Tres Bonne!!!

Isabelle is very friendly, knowlegeable and passionate about Champagne. Very special going to the smaller houses and enjoying a variety of different experiences. 100% recommended by all five of us!

This was a welcome day trip from busy Paris, which we reached easily by train. The bike ride was beautiful, and the e-bikes made the experience relaxing and effortless. Our tour guide, Anne, was both knowledgeable and kind. It would have been nice to have the option to purchase a charcuterie board to enjoy with the champagne — we requested this along with our tour group, but unfortunately it wasn’t available. If travelling from Paris, be sure to allow enough time to get from the tour site back to the train station (at least 40mins.)

It is as described. We did get a van ride to the bike start so that was nice instead of a train. I recommend this tour.
