Travel via high speed TGV train from Paris to the beautiful Cognac region for an incredible tour at Martell.
Experience the exclusive Martell Heritage Cognac Tour
Martell is the oldest cognac house in France, dating back more than 300 years to 1715. Starting with Joseph Martell, the cellar masters of 9 generations have perfected their particular take on eau de vie (the colorless grape brandy that forms the basis of all cognac). From VS, to VSOP to Cordon Bleu, you’ll learn about the blending and tasting process on this tour.
During this tour you’ll have the chance to blend your own cognac in the private cellar master’s workshop, in an area usually closed to the public. You’ll leave with a personalized “Montre” of your own cognac blend, but perhaps the most memorable moment of the day will be the gourmet appetizers and tasting of L’Or de Jean Martell (average price is ~$3,500 per bottle).

Key Cognac Region Facts
Dutch traders, seeking to prevent spoilage when shipping French wine, pioneered double distillation, giving rise to brandy. Only spirits produced in the Cognac region may be called cognac. Crafted from Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard grapes, this spirit undergoes two distillations, then ages in oak from the Limousin and Tronçais forests. Cognac must rest at least 30 months, though many mature 4–6 years, and top-tier cognacs can age for decades, intensifying their amber hue and spicy notes. Strict rules require distillation to start no earlier than November 1 and finish by April 1, ensuring authenticity.
