Great experience - After coming as a family, it was a great visit. Maybe a little expensive fare level but small boat ride. A very experienced and cultivated guide in this field continue this way

Fine cognac - The Chateau is located near Pont Neuf at the River Charente in Cognac. It is an ancient structure dating from the 10th century and also the home of famous cognac brands Baron Otard and D’Ussé. A number of different tours are available in English and other languages and we booked the tour “In the heart of the Chateau”. It took about 1 hour and was both a historic tour, which took us to some of the historic rooms of the Chateau and also gave good information about the production of the famous cognacs in the vast cellars of the castle. At the end of the tour it was possible to taste the products, both traditionally and as a cocktail. Our excellent guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the fascinating history of the Chateau and the cognacs.

This is the cognac house to visit - We had an exceptional experience with our guide Silvie, who turned what could have been a bad experience into a memorable one. Silvie was very knowledgeable about the rich history of the house, the region, and of cognac. We would recommend a visit!

Excellent introduction to the history and production of cognac. - Our English speaking tour guide was friendly and interested in our understanding the process of cognac making. Of interest was the castle and the story of its owner while walking room to room in which the history was being made as well as the cognac

Cognac tour of manufacturers. - Very nice to do a tour of the Cognac makers of France. Loads of history and our guide really knew his stuff. Included tastings. No real examination of the bottling process - just a poster on a wall. One thing you must do when in Cognac.

Cognac making tour - Very informative tour. The guide did a very good job considering the large number in the group 40+ being my only criticism.

Castle of Cognac - This castle is especially highlighted for the production, tasting and sale of cognac. The estate by itself apart from a few busts of François 1st and his family, has no major interest, no furniture, just beautiful empty rooms.
