Discover 260 years of Hennessy craftsmanship and discover the secrets behind the making of our iconic cognacs.

Exclusively for Hennessy visitors, start your 90-mn tour with a brief crossing of the Charente River aboard one of our solar-powered boats. Enjoy panoramic vistas of Cognac's historical district as you retrace the route of the flat-bottomed boats that once transported Hennessy cognacs to the world.

Next, discover the Pavillons' Cellar, where centuries of history blend with a contemporary scenography to reveal how our expert artisans craft unparalleled cognacs.

Your visit continues in the Faïencerie cellar. There, in the half-light, alignments of hundreds of barrels speak to a mystique that goes back centuries. The wood of the barrels is always hand-calligraphed with chalk to indicate the year of harvest and provenance of the eaux-de-vie. Find out about the natural phenomenon known as the "angels' share."

To conclude your visit, discover the 11am daily ritual of our Tasting Committee - an organization for excellence that is unique to Hennessy, and sets us apart from all other cognacs - and enjoy a guided tasting of two iconic cognacs: Hennessy V.S and V.S.O.P (served neat, on the rocks and in a cocktail).

This visit is fully accessible to visitors with special access needs. A "Mobility Inclusion" reduced ticket rate is available for them and a guest, bookable online or by email directly with our team.

Please note that pets are not allowed on the grounds.
