AYALA - MONTVILLERS

Very enjoyable tasting and tour. Younger sister house to Bollinger. Our guide Lucas was very knowledgable and lively, the tour was very informative and we really enjoyed the wines - we tried 3 wines but had the choice on one so between a couple we actually tasted 4 wines. The rose in particular was fantastic and we took a case of bottles home.

My friends and I booked a private tour and tasting here the end of August. Lucas took us on the most engaging tour of their beautiful cellars and an expert tasting in a private room. The entire staff were so friendly and accommodating and we absolutely enjoyed our experience. To top it all off- the champagne is amazing! Definitely worth the trip across the river from Epernay and highly reccomend.

We had a great tour - the AYALA Experience - fascinating cellar with great interactive experience to about the different cuvées and plots where the grapes come from. Our tour guide Lucas was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about the history of AYALA, the various champagnes, their characters and the making of them. And we enjoyed the wines we tasted a lot - not only because each of delicious but also, because of Lucas introduction of them. Thank you, Lucas and the AYALA Team!

We booked our visit to Ayala and were met at reception by Gonzalo who is one of twenty six employees. Our tour and tasting was fantastic. Ayala is now part of the Bolinger group. Gonzalo knew everything and answered all our question. Small in terms of the better known Champagne Houses they still turn out 1 million bottles a year. Clear, precise and simple bottles and packaging that look great. Very easy to understand. Tasted x 4 varieties that were all really great. I enjoyed the Rose best. All are heavily Chardoney lead and tasted wonderful. Great tour so a big thank you to Gonzalo 😁 Highly recommend 😁🍾🍾🇫🇷

My husband and I visited Champagne Ayala recently and had a wonderful tour. I am embarrassed to say that I can not remember our tour guides name but he was an excellent guide. He gave us so much information and detail about champagne making as well as the history of Ayala. We toured the amazing caves and finished with a tasting. It was a small group of six attending so it felt like a private tour which made it easy to ask questions in an unhurried atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting Champagne Ayala.

We had a warm and friendly welcome at Ayala and our guide was knowledgeable and engaging throughout the visit. While we enjoyed the experience, the cellar itself is relatively modest compared to other Champagne houses we’ve visited and the tasting area felt a bit plain. Considering the overall setting and presentation, the price felt a little high for what was offered.

I booked my visit online for the Thu, 27th of April. 2020, in Ay. Next day the tour suppose to start at 10 am., but no one welcome me or informed, that the event was cancelled. I waited 30 min. No sorry and no excuse! 😡😡😡 And the worst thing is, I chose Ayala in the restaurant, which I managed as a house Champagne 🍾 🙃! You should be ashamed guys for your ignorance, honestly... And will be nice to see responses from you!!!

Nice English Tour and Tasting with a lot of information. I really like the champagne.
