About this activity
Meet your guide in the afternoon and start your tour of the Royal Château de Cognac. The visit is divided in two high points: the first one involves the history of France, and the second one the elaboration of the Baron Otard cognac.
In the first part, you will learn, thanks to your professional guide, about the Château de Cognac, located in Cognac city, which is a 13th century historical monument and a French history memorial. Hear about the history of France from the 13th to the 19th century, and discover the prestigious State Room, where King Francis 1st hosted his guests.
At the end of the 18th century, the Chateau was purchased by Baron Otard. The Château is known for its exceptional environment, temperature and humid condition, perfect for ageing spirits. You will explore the humid cellars in the depth of Château where the best eaux-de-vie are still ageing today with the exceptional natural conditions.
You will end your tour in the Chateau with a tasting of two different types of cognac: Baron Otard VSOP and XO Gold.
The Château de Cognac is ideally located at 90 minutes drive away from Bordeaux and Poitiers and 50 minutes drive away from the Atlantic Coast.

Reviews
This tour is well worth the time and money. The tour guide was knowledgeable, spoke in English for our tour, and allowed us some wonderful cognac tasting experiences. The historical side of the tour, before it was a house of cognac, was a fascinating bonus. I would highly recommend this tour.
We arrived 10 minutes late due to road blocks as it was Bastille Day and were told we could not have the tour although it was only for us. There was a large group expected later and the two visits would clash. We then asked to have a shorter tour i.e. just 45 minutes and chose which part we wanted. What we saw was amazing but unfortunately, the guide's English was difficult to understand and often we had to ask him to repeat what he said. A visit worth doing so long as you are there on time and you have a good guide!
