Great experience

Nice way to spend a couple of hours. Interesting and informative. The Rum was a surprise. We will be recommending it to our friends.

Gin amongst the Cognac Vines

Our guide Emma, was very well informed, we learnt the history.of the Chateau and the vision behind the brand. Opening a Gin Distillery in Cognac country was very risky! We really enjoyed the tour the tasting was brilliant, a variety of flavoured and natural Gins with different mixers. As a staunch Vodka drinker I may now be a convert!! We will be adding this to our regular visits when our guests arrive.
