Anyone have any insight? We are traveling at the end of October and will spend a few days in Belgium (we love craft beer) before heading to Champagne. We are going to stay in Brussels and take day trips to Ghent, Bruges and Antwerp. Is there anywhere else we must go? Aside from Cantillon/Drie Fonteinen we have a "wish list" of breweries but none completely set in stone. I have no clue when it comes to the foodie side of it yet, I haven't gotten that far.
In Champagne I was leaning toward staying in one of the B&Bs that are at the Champagne houses, probably in one of the smaller towns (Cramant perhaps) rather than in Reims or Epernay. We are still trying to determine if it is worth messing with a car for those days or if we should just hire a tour guide to take us to taste, and taxi/uber for getting around in general.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
