Wine & Warfare
Your exclusive tour to this region of France will take in the highlights of several battlefields, explore the stunning city of Reims and provide you the opportunity to sample some of the very best Champagne and local food.
Sophie’s Great War Tours will collect you from a convenient location and we’ll set off to enjoy a fabulous private tour.
We’ll travel through the Somme region, stopping at some of the most famous sites on the battlefield. Walk through original trenches at Beaumont Hamel and see the staggering Thiepval Memorial to the Missing where the names of 72,000 men who have no known grave are beautifully inscribed.
The beautiful City of Reims will be home. Take a walking tour of the City to understand the military and cultural history.
Indulge in a full day tour of the Champagne region, visiting a family vineyard in the Montagne de Reims followed by a tasting in the Marne Valley. Enjoy lunch amongst the vines or in a bistro followed by a private tour of the Dom Perignon cellars.
On the way back to the UK, why not stop at Vimy Ridge to discuss the 1917 Allied assault around Arras.
