Full Itinerary

Day 1

Upon arrival in Cognac, check into a Superior room at the four-star Hotel François Premier, located in the heart of the picturesque town.
If you are arriving before 4pm, we would be very pleased to recommend a Clos19 activity for your afternoon.

Day 2

After breakfast, you will be met at the hotel by a Clos19 guide, who will accompany you throughout the day, starting with a short walk to the riverside, where you will be welcomed as VIP guests of Hennessy.
Begin your journey by boat. En route, your guide will introduce you to Hennessy’s history, savoir-faire and how the maison has become so world-renowned.
In the traditional ageing cellars, you will learn about how Hennessy crafts its cognac, from vine to bottle, by way of an immersive experience, concluding with a visit to the legendary Paradis cellar.
After taking the boat back across the river, take part in a technical tasting session of Hennessy X.O and Paradis inside the maison’s tasting room.
Following your tour, a four-course lunch – accompanied by Hennessy cognacs – will be served at La Ribaudière, a Michelin-starred restaurant in town. Transfers will be arranged to escort you to and from the restaurant.
In the afternoon, your guide will take you on a scenic stroll through the vineyards, where you will learn about viticulture and the work undertaken among the vines throughout the year.
Your guide will then lead a hands-on mixology demonstration amid the vines, where you will discover the art behind three Hennessy cocktails, of which one will be bespoke.
In the evening, we would be very pleased to recommend a restaurant and reserve a table for you for dinner.

Day 3

After a leisurely breakfast, you will depart, having discovered how years of mastery have led to the creation of some of the world’s best-loved cognacs.
