Cognac Day Trip
From Bordeaux

Maison Bertrand Cognac Tour

A day in Cognac is a journey through southwest France’s rich traditions of craftsmanship and patience. This region is famous for producing some of the world’s greatest brandies, with its own personality and charm. From copper stills to barrel-lined cellars, every stop reveals the artistry that turns grapes into liquid gold.

In Cognac, grand houses and family distilleries alike showcase refined blends aged for decades, offering a more rustic, soulful expression, often made by small producers who still use age-old methods. Its devotion to time, oak, and savoir-faire promises an unforgettable day of history, hospitality, and exceptional spirits.
