For our Valentine’s weekend we decided to go to Reims, France for a champagne tour. We left on Friday and drove through the Mosel Valley region of Germany, stopping along the way at all the little wine villages. I would not recommend doing this trip in February because everything was closed until late March. Nonetheless it was a beautiful drive by the river and through some amazing vineyards. We stopped for the night in Trier, Germanys oldest city. Trier is an ancient Roman capital and is the home of the oldest Christian church and many Roman ruins. We headed out in the morning and stopped in Luxembourg long enough to see a few sites, check out the market and get a parking ticket! We arrived in Reims by midday and went to the G.H. Mumm champagne tour & tasting. After the tour we went in search for a restaurant to have dinner. We found out that no matter what country you are in you need a reservation on Valentine’s day! After about the 15th restaurant we found a little pizza place to have dinner, at this point we were so hungry it didn’t matter! We enjoyed the sunshine on Sunday morning and bought a few bottles of champagne to bring home with us. Nothing could be better than Valentines day in the champagne region of France with my 2 faviorate boys!
