An unforgettable private tour of the real Cognac country
Did you know that only 15 houses (brands) of Cognac represent 96% of the sales in the world? But these companies do not own more than 5% of the vineyards. . .
On the other hand. . . 3500 wine growers / distillers of Cognac own nearly 95% of the vineyard but represent less than 5% of the market!
If you are ready to discover these strong personalities running their family business from generation to generation. . .
Let me take you to the real Cognac country, meeting passionate people. At the same time vine growers, distillers, suppliers of major Cognac houses, and direct sellers of their own production, they are the essence of Cognac soul !

A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourNot only was Marie extremely knowledgeable and highly professional, she found us a terrific lunch spot for our day tour of Cognac (not her favorite cousin's place just to drum up business). Her choice of the private family distillery also felt genuine, not a sales pitch, as we have experienced with some other guides. Also her English is flawless, I would recommend her with no reservations.
