Amazing tour. One of the best we have ever had. Very clear information and extremely knowledgeable and approachable guide. Thank you Gaelle! Was wonderful to also experience (and smell) the storage house. Highly recommend.
A friend and I had a private tour as no one else was scheduled that day. The third was excellent and extremely informative. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We even had a bonus sample at the tasting afterwards. The Courvoisier location is absolutely beautiful asking the Charante river in Jarnac. I'd recommend a visit!
The visit to Courvoisier museum is a bit out of the way when compared to the convenience with which you can visit Hennessy or Martell. I had the good fortune of being dropped by a friend to the facility. So step one, sort your transportation first. Secondly, you need to register on the Courvoisier website scheduling a visit, they usually mail you back letting you know when you can come visit. This for me isn't really a great feature, because it makes it difficult to do a spontaneous trip if you are in the region. I had registered the previous night, and went to the facility without hearing back from them then next day morning. They couldn't find my request info, so they asked me to mail them and made arrangements to accommodate me. I began at 11am and opted for the 20 Euro tour which let's you taste VSOP Exclusif and the Napoléon paired with chocolates. I had a one on one tour with the guide. She was very warm and provided as much details as she could and was patient. This was my third Cognac house visit and while it offers the standard knowledge pack, Courvoisier offers something different from the others, they allow you to bottle and label your own Version from a hand picked barrel by the master blender. This has to be pré arranged however and would present as a unique experience. The video room was not functional when I visited, so I missed some content, the tasting session was great, one can simply not enjoy these beautiful drinks. NAPOLÉON was the clear choice for me. The chocolate pairings were amazing. My guide was extremely kind enough to give me a map of the Cognac region as she sensed my interest in the terrain and geography. She also gave me a small booklet on cocktail recipes with cognac. That was a nice added touch. The area surrounding Curvoisier is beautiful and very peaceful, so the trip is enhanced by that. Overall a good experience with room to improve. I will not share too many pictures as it might ruin the novelty of visiting the place.
I spent a week in this fabulous area of France some while ago in 1992 but, it’s long since I got the chance to review it. It is a great place by the River Charente and the tour of the Brandy Museum was incredible. Nevertheless it’s well worth the visit to see the large barrels in the cool cellar and much more. A pyramid of bottles in the foyer with the most expensive at the top. The weather was sunny and made it all the more enjoyable with the person I was with. A former girlfriend who I miss deeply.
The tour was not exactly as expected, I thought it would be more of touring the distillery or something more authentic, seems more like a PR room. It was a short tour but good if you just want a run down of the history of Courvoisier and cognac. Tour guide was very nice. What I did very much enjoy was the tasting at the end with a nice chocolate pairing.
Visite très instructive et agréable. It was done in English as per our booking. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and always took the time to answer our questions and explain things patiently and in excellent English. We saw lots of things and discovered the history of the Courvoisier Cognac. Thank you!!
Awsome place, guided tour only in museum part (+smalkml warehouse), tasting very nice
Very informative and Emily was a great tour guide. She knew her stuff and spoke very good English. Thank you.

An intimate museum celebrating the personal life of the former president. We enjoyed visiting very much and recommend it if you are in the area.
It was closed on a Monday when we got there even though Google said it would be open, so we weren't able to visit. Those responsible should correct the opening hours shown by Google.
Have been before , all ways interesting.
(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum visit. Very pleasant welcome. (Original) Visite musée très intéressante. Accueil très agréable.
(Translated by Google) The setting is magnificent but not easy to access. The family history of this President is interesting but says very little about the politician he was and how he became who he was. (Original) Le cadre est magnifique mais pas facile d'accès. L'histoire familiale de ce Président est intéressante mais ne parle que très peu de l'homme politique qu'il était et comment il est devenu celui qu'il a été.
(Translated by Google) This is my third time here, and I'm still discovering new things. A must-see, especially if you're lucky enough to meet Benjamin at the reception desk. His passion, knowledge, kindness, and humor will brighten up your visit! If you're ever in Jarnac, don't hesitate. I'll definitely be back! (Original) C'est la troisième fois que je viens et je découvre toujours des choses. Lieu à voir absolument surtout si vous avez la chance de rencontrer Benjamin à l'accueil. Sa passion, sa connaissance, sa gentillesse et son humour égayent votre visite ! Si vous passez par Jarnac, n hésitez pas. Moi, j'y reviendrai !

Excellent tour of the history and technique of Cognac production. The tasting experience was 10/10. Lucie, our guide was both charming and informative. Reserve an appointment, it's well worth it.
Fantastic tour and history of one of the oldest Cognac houses. Free tour is more than worth the trip, with a fascinating focus on soil quality and the full distillation, aging and blending process. Also of interest is their vintage cellar with bottles running back to the 1800's and their aging of certain cognacs in the UK - a tradition dating back to the inception of the house.
Interesting, relaxed.
(Translated by Google) great visit as part of the Ban de la distillation a warm and very clear guide in the presentation! the tour route is great and very pretty, the brand is well represented :) (Original) super visite dans le cadre du Ban de la distillation une guide chaleureuse et très claire dans la présentation ! le parcours de la visite est top et très joli, la marque est bien représentée :)
(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience! A warm welcome! Roxanne is passionate and fascinating to listen to. The most striking thing is the extraordinary work of the cellar master and his phenomenal knowledge of blends to create THE Thomas Hine Cognac that will be unlike any other. Not to mention the cocktail creation workshop which superbly ends the visit. A big thank you! (Original) Très belle expérience ! Un accueil chaleureux ! Roxanne est passionnée et passionnante à écouter. Le plus marquant est cet extraordinaire travail du maître de chai et de sa connaissance phénoménale des assemblages pour faire LE Cognac Thomas Hine qui ne ressemblera à aucun autre. Sans oublier l'atelier création de cocktails qui finit superbement la visite. Un grand merci !
(Translated by Google) A very fun visit to the Cognac Hine house. We learned a lot during this visit. Our guide was very knowledgeable about these subjects, very clear presentation. We had the right to a private visit where we were with family: 4. Really enjoyed it. Duration of the visit approximately 1h30. The visit can be done in several packages: free without tasting or with tasting (3 packages). We chose the one for €15 including 1 cocktail, and 1 tasting of two vintage Hine cognacs and an XO. Thanks to our guide for this very fun Saturday and allowed us to master Cognac. (Original) Une visite très ludique dans la maison de Cognac Hine. Nous avions beaucoup appris lors de cette visite. Notre guide connaissait super bien ces sujets, présentation très claire. Nous avions eu droit à une visite privée où nous étions en famille : 4. Avions vraiment apprécié. Durée de la visite 1h30 environ. La visite peut se faire sur plusieurs formules : gratuite sans dégustation ou avec dégustation (3 formules). Nous avions choisis celle à 15€ comprenant 1 cocktail, et 1 degustation de deux cognacs Hine millésimé et un XO. Merci à notre guide pour ce samedi très ludique et nous a permis de maîtriser le Cognac.
(Translated by Google) Great tour. Very professional and friendly guide. We learned a lot about cognac making. A little extra: a tasting of cognac from our year of birth at the end of the tour. I highly recommend this place. (Original) Super visite . Guide très professionnelle et souriante. Nous avons appris plein de choses quant à la fabrication du cognac . Petit plus : dégustation de cognac de notre année de naissance à la fin de la visite . Je recommande vivement cet endroit.

Les Freres Moine is an absolute must visit. While yes, Yan and his brother make wine, but their essence is infusion of art with science, craftsmanship, and passion. Forget the corporate owned, mass producers come here to experience France at its best.
Skip the large tourist traps of the big cognac houses and visit this small family run business (the brothers Moine) for a down to earth introduction to all aspects of cognac production and the real life of a small independent but extremely proud producer. The only visitors this thursday was my wife and me but cognac producer, artist and DJ Jean-Yves spent three hours with us talking passionately about all aspects cognac from barrel production (with his barrel producer demonstrating the whole process) to his excellent XO. Les Freres Moine also produce some excellent local Charente wine and Pineau.
The place was closed during normal opening times. Nobody picked up the phone on any of the numbers listed at the entrance and on the web pages. I got a nice and passionate answer and upgraded my rating
Great location, great ambiance and great wines. We’ll come back next year
The grapes have been picked, now leave it to the experts to turn them into beautiful liquid gold.
(Translated by Google) Ideal for an authentic and unconventional visit (if you're looking for a structured and formal tour, this isn't ideal 🤣). Yann doesn't count the hours (we stayed 5 hours for a 90-minute tour, discussing vineyards and art). A meeting with a passionate guide who knows how to adapt to the visitors' needs. (Original) Idéal pour une visite authentique et non conventionnelle (si vous voulez une visite cadrée et formelle, c’est pas l’idéal 🤣). Yann ne compte pas ses heures (on est restés 5h pour une visite d’1h30 en discutant de vignes et d’art). Une rencontre avec un passionné qui sait s’adapter aux envies des visiteurs.
(Translated by Google) A fun tour, to be discovered by passionate and fascinating professionals! A beautiful production to be enjoyed in moderation 😁 (Original) Une visite sympa, à découvrir avec des professionnels passionnés et passionnant ! Une belle production à déguster avec modération 😁

Fantastic tour and experience. Eric was a fabulous guide. The tasting was excellent and everyone left with great products.
We booked Braadstad because it seemed to still be small enough to appreciate it's family history and care for normal people. When we looked to book for a tour and tasting on winetourism.com it also only hosted small groups ,up to 15 people compared to some of the others up to 60. When we arrived today a Wednesday it was just my wife and I and our host Eric. So a personal tour!! We did a tour ,discovered history and technical info about Cognac, saw the whole process from grape to glass that is all done in house. And of course tasted some awesome cognac and bought some to take home to New Zealand. Highly recommend this place, very special indeed!
Eric was such an amazing guide. His knowledge and ability to explain the whole process from field to bottle was fantastic. This guided tour is a must for anyone who visits the Charente. A huge thank you to Eric.
Our private visit of this family owned Cognac factory was really enjoyable. We were able to understand how cognac is produced, from grape to the bottle, with a very interesting tasting session.
Once again a fantastic visit to the Braastad distillery. The tour is of interest . Erik is so knowledgeable and makes the visit fun and has time for you. His passion for the product comes through in abundance . I thoroughly recommend anyone looking for a cognac distillery tour to enquire about Braastad in Jarnac. Well worth a visit , tasting very interesting discovering the tastes of the different cognac. Thankyou Erik again for a lovely morning spent in the distillery. My friend from Greece loved the experience . Hope to see you again in the summer.
Went here for a guided tour with my wife. We were shown the entire process, from wine making to distilling and blending. Our guide was a member of the Braasard family who spoke English very well. At the end we got to taste their cognac which we greatly enjoyed. Beautiful location and it was nice to visit a smaller, family owned cognac house.
Thanks Eric for a thorough visit where we got the full history and a possibility to enjoy your production facilities. A really knowledgeable tour where we (2 persons) felt that all our questions were met with interest and that time wasn’t an issue.
Eric was a perfect host at Braastad. His tour was informative and entertaining. We did not feel rushed and Eric was patient in answering all of our questions. At Braastad, we were able to see the entire cognac making process. I highly recommend this tour.

I highly recommend Le Boat for your next holiday with friends or family. We had an absolutely amazing time on our second barge trip (the first was in September 2022), and we would definitely book with them again. The experience was unforgettable, and everything was well-organized from start to finish. Can't wait for our next adventure with Le Boat!
Unforgettable memories from our cruising adventure on the Charente River. The team Le Boat in Jarnac was great. We will be back 🛥️⭐️💙🌲
The most incredible base and staff! We were so warmly welcomed and everyone was so friendly and patient. The base has a very relaxed atmosphere and the people made it an amazing experience! Thank you very much Jarnac base for your genuine care and hospitality
A wonderful 10 days of cruising up and down the R. Charente between Angouleme and Saintes, with 13 friends on 2 boats. The Le Boat staff at Jarnac were very helpful, providing friendly and very useful service with boat introductions, destination tips, and extra linen. This is our second hire with Le Boat in France, and I recommend them highly.
Everything was arranged nicely by the local crew and they have been very friendly. However, the boat (Cirrus) itself was very old, had a big crash damage on the front and water leaked onto our bed every night. This was not, what I have expected.
We had a wonderful week on the Charante from Jarnac with Le Boat. The booking process and communication prior to the trip was clear and straightforward. On arrival at the boatyard our intended boat was unavailable but we were given a free upgrade. The staff at the yard were all really friendly and helpful, with good English skills and explanation of facilities and things to be aware of en route. The boat was very comfortable and easy to use, the Charante very rural and easy to navigate (although the locks are harder work than their UK counterparts!) and we saw lots of wildlife: several herons and kingfishers every day (even in the middle of Saintes), a red squirrel running across a lock and a wonderful half hour one evening with an otter less than 10m from the boat, both in and out of the water. The river upstream from Jarnac was the most picturesque and we went swimming on several days in the river. We mixed evening meals out and on the boat - but do be aware that many French eateries have more restricted opening times than is usual in the UK - so plan accordingly! Obviously a great weeks weather helped but I would thoroughly recommend the Charante as a boating destination and wouldn't hesitate to book with Le Boat again
The people at Le boat Jarnac were excellent especially dealing with a very difficult situation. We had booked our 5th barging trip, a year ago on a vision 3 boat. 4 days before we were commencing the trip we were notified the boat was damaged and there was no other large boat available. We had 5 people booked for the boat and not everyone knew each other. Le boat could only offer us a much smaller boat, 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms which could be awkward. You can imagine our disappointment as we had flown from Australia, friends from the USA and New Zealand so we could not cancel it. When we explained the situation, Le boat then offered us 2 boats with the 2nd one being free. However after much consideration we felt it was challenging managing with 5 people and 2 boats so settled for one small boat, 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms. Not ideal but we managed. The team at Jarnac, were so helpful and did everything they could to ease our disappointment. They are an absolute credit to the organisation. Thank you Romeo and Amelie and to everyone trying to help rescue a potential disaster of a holiday. We still had a great time.
I can't offer much of an objective view as we just strolled along the lovely Charente at Jarnac. We saw Le Boats impressive fleet and commented how they would contribute to a fine holiday afloat.

Had a lovely paddle up the Charente on a hot day - easy even for an inexperienced paddler. Detailed itinerary provided, English spoken, toilets on site if needed and good quality equipment.
Nice people, La Charente is beautiful. Great day under the sun (take the all day pack !)
Hired a couple of canoes for a nice paddle down the river. Sunny, countryside, summer, what more could you ask for.
Very helpful. Good quality equipment. Plenty of advice given on routes to take.

(Translated by Google) The canoe was pleasant, but what can we say about the welcome: A SHAME! A gray-haired lady who works in this club, started insulting English tourists, from afar, so that they could not hear, when they turned back to their cars... How can you work in tourism and have this type of behavior?! It's SHAMEFUL... they only want MONEY! (Original) Le canoë était agréable, mais que dire de l'accueil : UNE HONTE! Une dame aux cheveux gris qui travaille dans ce club, s'est mise à insulter des touristes anglais, de loin, pour qu'ils ne puissent pas entendre, lorsque ceux ci se retournaient à leurs voitures... Comment peut-o travailler dans le tourisme et avoir ce type de comportement?! C'est HONTEUX... ils ne veulent que du FRIC!
(Translated by Google) Superb welcome and the ride is magnificent (Original) Superbe accueil et la balade est magnifique
