The champagne is average but the tour is fun. Each cave has a modern art installation- lots of fun surprises in the caves and the large tasting area More

My husband and I generally prefer to tour small producers rather than larger producers, but we wanted to see the caves of at least one large producer. We didn't visit other large producers while we were in Reims, so I cannot compare this tour to the others, but we loved this tour and were very pleasantly surprised. The caves were... More

The visit of the cellars was not quite what I expected. I thought I would see a bit how champagne is made. The explained how it's done but without visual aids. The cellars however are impressive. More

I was slightly skeptical of Pommery (due to their 'pop' champagne) but this tour is highly recommended - the caves have so much history and after hearing how champagne is made for the 5th time (we did 5 tours in total), it was a great twist to see modern art installations AND 2 glasses as part of the tour. Great... More

18 kilometers of limestone "caves" (cellars). 20 million bottles of champagne. Informative and very interesting. Tip..... Wear something warm. More

We visited a number of champagne houses on our recent visit to Reims. This one, although large and very well organised, had a bit of a Disney theme going on. Not my favourite. More

the pommery visit was great but only as far as the entrane went the outside was marvellous but the tour was quite poor and didn't live up to expectations it was more like a modern art exhibition....but Moet and Chandon more than met all our expectations we all loved it and I plan to take my husband very soon.

Agree with wolfman50, I fear I walked out with not all my boxes ticked. The receptionist was so swamped by phone calls and visitors waiting to purchase tickets, she alternated between talking on the phone and to us. Meanwhile, we saw a couple of staff lurking behind, doing... not much. The art pieces were a nice addition, but not an... More

We visited the Vranken Pommery on a Saturday morning having made a reservation for a tour previously. Staff speak very good English. It is always wise to book before you go. It is situated about 35 to 40 mins walk from Reims centre. Very impressive building and driveway. The caves are most impressive and the history of the Champagne house... More
