Incredibly overpriced although very interesting. I would suggest that you do the various tours individually without going through a tour operator unless money is no object.

Excellent tour with good balance btw learning and experiencing. We followed end2end process: making the casks (visit1), then grapes > distillation > aging/blending to cognac with tasting (visit2), till how cognac > pineau (visit3) Explanation was excellently balanced to ensure the audience (kids aged 10 and adults) never lost track or got bored. Full group feedback: fun, interesting and learned a lot Also sufficient time for tasting and purchase ;-) Excellent English spoken (we are Dutch speaking)
