Camus Workshop Travel Guide

The Camus Workshop provides an unparalleled opportunity to delve into the world of cognac. Located in the heart of Cognac, France, the Camus family, who have been crafting cognac since 1863, invite you to discover the secrets behind their renowned spirits. The highlight is the Master Blender's Workshop, where you can create your own XO Cognac. An experienced cellar master guides you through the nuances of single-cru cognacs from Cognac's most important regions: Borderies, Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Fins Bois.

Using traditional tools, you'll draw cognac straight from the cask, mix your blend, and bottle it to take home. Beyond the blending workshop, the Camus visitor center offers a fascinating insight into the history and production of Camus Cognac. You can explore exhibits detailing the Camus family's five-generation legacy and their commitment to innovation. Camus is known for using unique production methods, such as a high concentration of aromatic elements and small pot stills. The Camus family is also the largest landowner in the Borderies cru, the smallest and rarest of the Cognac regions.The Camus Workshop is open from Tuesday to Saturday.
