Cognac tours

Cognac boasts one of the most recognizable names on the planet. A double-distilled brandy is one of life's great pleasures, and sipping some on a visit to this charming French city seals the deal. Your guide will give you a behind-the-scenes tour of several family vineyards, where you can touch the grapes and taste samples drawn directly from the oak casks. Sign up for a private Cognac tour and explore this delightful region of western France with a local guide. Cognac is justifiably proud of their brandy - and fiercely protective of their brand. Your guide will introduce you to a family in the Grande Champagne region that has been crafting the beverage for three generations, giving you the chance to ask questions and enjoy a glass. Then hop in the car and head to Petite Champagne to learn about eaux de vie, a wine distilled in copper vats heated by wood fires. Stop at Bassac village on the return journey to walk by the river or dine at the Auberge de Conde restaurant.
