Top Cognac Classes & Workshops

When in Cognac, tasting the eponymous liquor is a must-do. Even more exciting is a behind-the-scenes tour of a working distillery to learn the secrets behind the famous brandy. On this tour, you’ll do both. Make your way to the historic, family-run Cognac house, a short drive or train ride from Cognac. Explore the distillery, aging cellar, and bottling workshop on a guided tour, then sample three aged Cognacs.

Good morning ! My name is Frédéric Bourgoin. I define myself as a terroirist winemaker and alchemist on the run. My 25 ha vineyard in “Organic Agriculture” conversion is located near Angoulême (Charente, France). The Bourgoin family wine adventure began in 1930 but bottled marketing is much more contemporary: 11/21/2015. Today my bottles are present on more than 150 Michelin-starred restaurants in France (and at the Elysée!). My natural cognacs are: unassembled, unsweetened, without added colorings, and unfiltered. Both young and authentic, my winemaking approach to the cognac category is unique in Charente. Come meet me, the truth is at the bottom of the bottle! 4 people minimum for any reservation.
