A celebration of history and rarity, from the Founder's Cellar to an epicurean VIP cognacs tasting.

This private, small group tour offers a unique opportunity to slip behind the scenes and deepen your knowledge about Hennessy's legacy and how its remarkable cognacs are made. Visit the Ageing Cellar, an authentic working cellar lined with oak casks hand-inscribed in chalk script. In this magical place redolent with the aroma of the eaux de vie, gain a better understanding about the Cognac ageing process and discover the natural phenomenon known as the "angels' share."

Visitors will have the privilege of passing through the wrought iron gates of the Founder's Cellar. One of the estate's oldest and most emblematic buildings, this historic repository usually remains off-limits to the public and is home to Hennessy's rarest treasures, the most precious cognacs in one of the world’s largest library of eaux-de-vie. This visit culminates in a VIP lounge for a guided tasting of specially selected cognacs, including the emblematic Hennessy X.O and Hennessy Paradis cognacs. An exceptional and epicurean experience.

Hennessy Mobilis - Olivier Kuntzel et Florence Deygas (Vincent Bousserez)

From May 2023, our guided tours include a next-generation immersive experience and virtual reality odyssey: MOBILIS, the brainchild of world-renowned French artists Olivier Kuntzel & Florence Deygas. Together with a team of 50 talented artists and artisans, they drew a whimsical portrait of Maison Hennessy following a 'carte blanche' invitation from our President, Laurent Boillot.

Les Visites Hennessy - Mobilis experience immersive

Two years in the making, this ambitious work of art blends the simplicity of drawing together with cutting-edge technology, bringing our history and craftsmanship to life in a way never seen before. A must-see when visiting Cognac, MOBILIS cements Hennessy’s position as a landmark wine tourism destination.

As the highlight of your visit, immerse yourself in the daily ritual of the Hennessy Tasting Committee and enjoy a guided tasting of two emblematic cognacs in a private lounge: Hennessy X.O and Hennessy Paradis, a voluptuous blend distinctive for its smoothness and graceful character.

The eaux-de-vie in Hennessy Paradis have been aged exclusively in very old barrels, giving this cognac its amber gold color and hues. On the nose, it exudes floral notes and jasmine, underpinned by delicate notes of cinnamon and exotic fruit. A graceful, silky texture leads to a flavorful and deep, persistent finish. An exceptional epicurean experience and unforgettable journey into the world of Hennessy...
