Brief escape to the land of liqueurs and Pineau des Charentes
Enjoy a refined getaway in Charente—the land of Pineau and liqueurs—featuring exclusive encounters, ancestral craftsmanship, and the Charentais art of living.
Over the course of two days, let yourself be guided through a world where two complementary experiences reveal that the region offers far more than just Cognac.
2-day / 1-night stay details
Day 1 – Discovering Pineau des Charentes
Visit a family-run estate where the owner welcomes you personally. After a tour of the property, you will take part in a workshop to blend your own bottle of Pineau des Charentes—which you get to keep as a memento.
Arrive at your accommodation, where your host offers a warm welcome. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and surroundings with a stroll through the vineyards or along the Charente River—a true taste of the “Slow Life”.
In the evening, enjoy dinner either at your host’s home or at a local restaurant, giving you the chance to sample regional specialties. The next morning, enjoy a leisurely breakfast featuring bread, croissants, jams, and more.
Day 2 – Cocktail tasting at a liqueur producer
After your overnight stay, set off to explore another side of the Cognac region: a producer of a unique liqueur. Here, the elegance of great Cognac traditions shines through in a distinctive tasting experience centered around a signature cocktail.
Depending on your schedule, you can then visit the town of Jarnac and its trading houses, or the town of Cognac itself to explore its historic center and the Museum of Arts and Traditions of the Cognac Vineyards.
