The city of Epernay is a champagne enthusiast's dream - an august small town south of Reims overflowing with opportunities to taste France's most famous export. Several well known large houses are found here as are smaller ones and many are open for tours and tastings.

The picturesque French town of Beaune is located in the center of Burgundy, surrounded by villages bearing world famous names prized by wine lovers such as Volnay, Pommard, Puligny-Montrachet and Vosne-Romanee. These fabled names also adorn the labels of the wines that line the numerous shops, tasting rooms and wine bars occupying Beaune's tiny streets.
