Testimonials
Nina was def the highlight of our trip to Champagne. She was NOT like most tour guides doing the same ole same ole thing. She didn't just run us through a checklist… she asked what we liked, listened, and built the day around it.
We're picky about Champagne (some would say we're snobs), and she picked up on that right away. Instead of the big-name tourist stops, she took us to producers we'd never have found on our own. That was a big deal. Even when we had plans that didn't involve her expertise, she was quick to jump in and help. Every place was a hit. We wouldn't have changed a thing… and that's really saying something with our crew.
Her knowledge is the real deal. Nina (originally from South Africa) can talk producers, growers, and what makes each house different without it ever feeling like a lecture. She became a lifelong friend in just a few days. She made our experience unforgettable... just a great couple of days with someone who clearly loves what she does.
If you're heading to Champagne and you actually care about the champagne and the experience... book Nina. She made our trip, and she'll make yours EXTRA special too… trust me. I would not leave a bad google review...

I had the privilege of securing Nina's services for a two day trip in Champagne with my family and friend. She set up an itinerary and spent time with us that was so wonderful and considerate that I can say it was one of the best trips I have ever had. I cannot recommend her services enough. We literally had the best time!!! We got to learn all about the region, wine-making, the history, and she set up the best tours with the most interesting people. If you go to Champagne, you must reach out to her!!!

Nina was fantastic! Her walking wine tour in Reims was a highlight of the trip. She is so knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. She told the history of Reims as we strolled the town. She took us to places which we never would've found without her insight. Her tour will give you a special appreciation for champagne. Cheers!

Our walking tour in Reims in September with Nina was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we started, Nina felt more like a friend in the group than just a guide. Her knowledge about champagne was outstanding - we learned so much about the production, history, and the region’s secrets. On top of that, she wove in fascinating local history of Reims, making the whole experience rich and immersive. The tour also included a champagne tasting and ended perfectly at a local bar where we shared a bottle of champagne and enjoyed some delicious charcuterie. It was a fun, relaxed, and memorable way to wrap up the day. Thank you so much, Nina - you made our visit truly special!
