Interesting English language tour which briefly covered the process of Courvoisier cognac production but focused more on the history behind the name and company / product evolution .It included a short walk to a nearby building where the barrels are ageing and finished with a tasting session. Overall good value tour.

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.

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.

Really good tour and tasting. We loved it. The guide was nice and answered all questions, small group, friendly atmosphere. We visited 3 cognac houses. This was the best. Thank you

La Maison is so beautiful and the people working in it are the best!
