Overview

Leave the city behind and discover the rolling hills and historic charm of Cognac, birthplace of France’s world-famous spirit. This private countryside ride blends architecture, culture, and optional tasting experiences in a relaxed, elegant setting.

Enjoy a scenic drive from Bordeaux to the Town of Cognac, where you can stroll the riverside, explore the historic centre, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Then visit the iconic Hennessy Maison, where you can admire the riverfront location or—if arranged in advance—join a boutique visit or tasting experience.

End your day at the Old Château de Cognac, a dramatic riverside château with deep ties to French royalty and cognac-making tradition.

Note: Tastings and visits are optional, not included in the ride price, and must be arranged at least 2 days in advance.
Fully customisable & private, with English-speaking driver pickup and dropoff included.
