If I had another day in Cognac, I would definitely try to do one of their tours. If you're a cognac lover, a trip to Cognac to see the origin of this delectable grape is a must. At the gift shop, you can get a mini bottle of Louis XIII, 50 cl, 650 euro. You should go hard and buy one. I probably would've bought it if it was carry-on bag compatible. Rémy Boys!

Super knowledgeable and passionate about telling the Remy Martin story. He was good about alerting those of us with mobility issues about any stairs that were coming up or anything too. We had the place all to ourselves too! There were no other groups going through that we had to fight for space with or anything. The property was spread out through a couple of locations and was absolutely beautiful. We got familiarized with all of the different stages of the cognac making and the backstory and the barrel room they use currently. The best part? The tasting! We had 3 tastings each paired with delicious food that Chloe kindly served us. The tasting room was beautiful too. I came home with a nice mini, TSA friendly bottle of Remy too. There are several cognac distilleries in the area but I can't encourage you enough to go to this one. It's beyond worth it. I've been on several brewery/distillery tours across the globe but this one was my favorite by far.
