Private Half-Day: In the Terroir of Cognac｜France

This half-day tour takes you on a discovery of the vineyards of Cognac in the famous Grande Champagne area. You will tour with an English speaking "Cognac Educator" (certified by the Cognac Interprofession Association) who will take you from the vine to the glass, and teach you about the rich history of this region. This tour is also an opportunity to discover Romanesque churches and enjoy the typical scenery of a terroir considered by many as the “French Tuscany”.

During this tour you'll meet local people whose families have produced cognacs for generations. They will invite you to their estate and distillery, and even let you sample some of their family's products. You will truly come to understand the meaning of the French saying "give time to time", as well as the different philosophies behind the production of cognac.

You will also visit a traditional cooperage. This visit is only available on week days, as the barrel factory is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, French public holidays, and August holidays. If you are taking this tour on a day the barrel factory is closed, you will see another distillery.
