During our mother-daughter vacation to France in May and June 2026, we took two different trips with “Wine Day Tours,” both personally guided by the owner, Brice. Discovering this Paris-based company has been a wonderful experience for us. Brice’s deep pride and devotion to his company are plainly apparent. His respectful manner, professionalism, knowledge, and charming personality really stand out.
Because we booked two separate excursions directly through their official website (www.wine-day-tours.com), we received a fantastic 10% discount—though you can also find them on third-party booking platforms.
What sets this company apart is the incredible value; tasting fees, breakfasts, snacks, and lunches were all fully covered in the tour cost. Every other tour I researched was more expensive and not all-inclusive. We absolutely loved the large, fresh breakfast pastries, and the beautiful lunch spots Brice selected offered an impressive variety of delicious food choices. I also appreciated traveling in a small group inside a comfortable, spacious van. Since these are full-day excursions, my only tip is to bring a water bottle and any personal comforts you might need for the day.
Coming from California’s Central Coast, I am surrounded by phenomenal local wines, but the wine and champagne on these French tours were truly magnificent! It was wonderful to see organic options included at some of the vineyards and champagne houses. Our visits to three fantastic champagne houses were beautifully paired with the historic sights in and around Reims. On our other tour, the fresh goat cheeses from a local farm matched with various Sauvignon Blancs across three different wineries made for a delicious combination. We gained so much knowledge on both trips because Brice’s expertise spans far beyond just the wine and champagne; his storytelling about the region’s rich history made the experience truly exceptional!!
As a tip for future travelers looking to bring wine home: shipping a six-bottle minimum back is pricier due to shipping fees and tariffs—which we chose to do—but you can also bring bottles back yourself. We bought JetBags on Amazon, and I recommend packing no more than four bottles in a large suitcase surrounded tightly by clothing. Be prepared to pay an overweight luggage fee like I did, but is it worth it? YES!!
