About this activity
During this private full day tour, you will discover 3 of the various facets of cognac. Your guide will pick you up at Angouleme train station of at your accommodation in Angouleme.

Your first visit will be at the Courvoisier headquarter and museum where you will learn about the history and the production of cognac. The visit ends by a tasting of several cognacs paired with some appetizers.

Have your lunch (not included), in a typical restaurant suggested by your guide : a true moment of conviviality and the best way to experiment the French way of life.

Craft distillers represent less than 2 % of the cognac worldwide market but they own and operate 97 % of the vineyard. When meeting one of them, you will observe the elaboration of cognac from vine to glass. Then, you will move towards the distillery where you will taste some local products.

Without barrels there is no cognac. Barrels are one of most important tool to elaborate cognac. As 50% of the French cooperages are located in the vineyard of cognac, touring the vineyard has to include the visit of one of them (not open to public).

Please note that in July and August, cooperages are closed. Instead, you will visit a wine estate producing wines, cognacs and Pineau des Charentes.

At the end of the tour, your guide will drive you to your accommodation in Bordeaux or Saint-Emilion at around 6:30pm.
