Hi, I just noticed your post about La Tavola Marche and yes I am the one who went there. we stayed for 6 nights in July 2010 and it was the best place we have ever stayed in Europe. Jason and Ashley an American couple are amazing hosts and the food that Jason serves is to do die for. I am sure you will have a great time and the location is so beautiful. let me know how you like it.

I've done this in a few places, including in Burgundy (an option offered on a barge trip) and it was lovely. I have no info specific to Champagne, but will add this:
Be aware that the flights are weather dependent; if you get a rainy day, or a day with wind, the flights will be cancelled. Do not schedule your dates too tightly.
