Interesting but overpriced
johncG2593KX, Oct 2023
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.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Bonjour, We are happy to see that you found our excursion very interesting. You indicate that our service is expensive. We remind you that it includes the provision of a vehicle all day with a driver-guide who speaks perfect English, just for you. So you didn't waste time looking for places to visit, during the visits you were able to meet the distillery owners, taste their products as much as you wanted and you returned in time to Angoulême station to pick up your train to Paris, in accordance with our commitment made when you booked. Cordialement, Jean-Luc

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)
