Bourgoin Cognac

Frédéric and Rebecca de Bourgoin Cognac are extraordinary people, both passionate and warm. They welcomed our school and knew how to share their love for their profession with the children. Their ability to popularize with simplicity and kindness has captivated the attention of the youngest. In addition to producing cognacs, verjuice and oils of exceptional quality, both good and healthy, they pass on their knowledge with infectious enthusiasm, always with a smile. A superb experience that is both human, educational and gourmet. Thank you to them for this unforgettable moment! Nathalie & Lou

Whether you know cognac or not, you have to visit Bourgoin! Bourgoin's approach is innovative, modern and unexpected, but the family spirit and respect for traditions remain. Rebecca welcomed us very warmly, and shared a passionate speech that came straight from the heart. I recommend 100%. Thanks again!

If you have never visited Bourgoin Cognac, it is because you have missed an important step in your life ... Magical place, full of history and full of love, love for the product and short love, unforgettable visit and tasting with Rebecca, passionate and fascinating. 200% family business, cognac, pineau, succulent verjuices, there is something for everyone. Go there with your eyes closed and have no doubts ❤️

Complete and very interesting visit from a real enthusiast! Frédéric is very attentive to our questions and shares his thoughts on cognac with passion! We loved it! Plus a walk in the vineyards! Thanks again to this wonderful family business for their welcome and passion!

Excellent visit by Rebecca. I really liked the link with the history of the region and even learned something new, though I am from the same area. Excellent tasting of the entire product line: two different cognac, pineau, verjus, balsam (included in the price of the visit). My favorites => Pineau des Charentes et verjus Kids friendly!

If you’re going to visit this region of France, let alone Cognac, you have to visit Bourgoin Cognac. This family-run business has the passion, knowledge and conviviality to make this the best tour money can buy. Before we’d even started the tour, we were welcomed with open arms, as if we were part of the family. We speak French, but, honestly, Rébecca’s and Frédéric’s English is much better, and so they gave the tour in English. We chose the Safari tour, and were given a ride in the family’s old Peugeot van (that was used for deliveries decades ago). The full process of growing the grapes, and the details and difficulties therein, were fully described with enthusiasm by Frédéric, after which, we were returned to the main house, and showed the distilling process. The variety of products were also displayed and described, with the option to taste each. The fantastic knowledge on display made this tour a unique experience, and the visit is worth it for the aesthetic purpose alone- the branding and design of all products and signage is gorgeous. I don’t have enough words to describe how much I enjoyed this- just go!

It was a wonderful experience!!! We loved the visit, the winery, the cognac, the family!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful afternoon and for letting our dog Lola share this experience too.

What a welcome! A family of people who are passionate about their profession and who do not hesitate to give you time to help you discover their world. What communicative energy and what enthusiasm. A very beautiful moment full of discoveries (cognacs, verjus, etc.) and great encounters. Visit, tastings, meals, we were delighted. Thank you again Rebecca and Frédéric!! See you soon!

My husband and I made our first trip to Cognac and based on the fantastic reviews we decided to visit Bourgoin Cognac! It did not disappoint! The tour was very informative and the Cognac was superb. Absolutely the best we have tasted in our lives. We always prefer family run, quality over quantity distillers and this was the place just for that! Visit soon before their Cognac becomes so popular you won't be able to get your hands on a bottle! (It is THAT good!) Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Great tour of the Bourgoin Cognac vineyard and distillery, given by the owner Frederic Bourgoin in both French and English. We were picked up from the courtyard in a 1960s Peugeot van passed down through generations of the Bourgoin family and driven through the vineyards to learn about grape growing. Then we were brought back to the distillery to see how the cognac and other products are made. We found it really interesting that Frederic works with bartenders and bar owners to produce sugar syrup, wine verjus (the same acidity as lime juice) and a triple casked cognac that retains the carbon from ageing and great for cocktail mixology. Definitely recommend the tour, tasting and picking up a bottle or two!

Beautiful venue - you are treated to a tour of the local vineyards (featuring an amazing viewpoint over the landscape of Nouvelle-Aquitaine) - English language is available as well. Wonderfully friendly hosts and proper tour experience. Really educational (including the history of the venue and science of the fermentation and distillation) and also really fun (riding out to the fields in the back of the old van). Lot of Cognac and other alcohol tasting for the value. Would go again!
