My dad and I are cognac enthusiasts and the tour “Secret des Chais” was the highlight of our visit in Cognac. We were the only ones in our tour and the guide was simply wonderful! The tour was very informative about the history of the Chateau and production of cognac in the city, as well as the secrets to making cognac, all of which didn’t disappoint. Even though we already knew a fair bit about cognac, we did learn a few new things. Being just the two of us, the guide tailored the tour to focus on areas we were most interested to learn about, and a bit less on the other areas. She answered our many questions, had a great sense of humour and knowledge, and gave us the most pleasant tour. We also had the opportunity to taste some fine cognacs, including the VSOP, XO and Extra. We also visited several other distilleries during our stay in Cognac, and while the others had their own charm that are worth the visit, this one is at the top as a must do! I definitely recommend!

J’ai choisi de faire la visite « secret des Chais » pour voir les appartements privés de François 1er et pour comprendre la fabrication du Cognac… Je n’ai pas été déçu (même si le tarif est de 75€ par personne)… ce jour là j’étais la seule à faire la visite et j’ai beaucoup appris sur les secrets du Cognac. La dégustation de 3 cognac différents directement dans les chais est une expérience à vivre, ma guide était très sympathique et ses explications passionnantes… Je recommande cette belle visite très instructive…

Notre guide Catherine, nous a enchanté les papilles et les oreilles durant une visite très intéressante du Château de Cognac. L’histoire de ce nectar brun racontée à travers notre histoire de France fut un véritable bonheur. L’humour, l’émotion et les nombreuses anecdotes s’associent au délice des fabuleux alcools OTARD. Cette visite est faite de plusieurs surprises … mais chut .. je vous laisse découvrir mais préparez tous vos sens vont être en éveil.

Un'esperienza unica! La guida parlava un ottimo inglese, perfettamente comprensibile. Il castello è decisamente ben conservato per i secoli che ha e non si sa decidere se è più bello quello o la parte delle cantine. Tra storia e alcool, si scopre anche la storia della maison Otard, meno commerciale ma più apprezzata dagli autoctoni (e da me) e si finisce con una degustazione di tre cognac! Si inizia con la storia di Francesco I, per proseguire attraverso i secoli fino ad arrivare alla fondazione della Maison e tutti i cartelloni pubblicitari e storiche confezioni, passando per le cantine (decisamente interessante) con vecchia e nuova produzione, dalle origini del Cognac ad oggi. Da provare assolutamente! Conviene comprare il Cognac nel negozio della maison, altrove lo si paga quasi il doppio.
