Beyond its world-class Cognac, the region boasts a rich gastronomic scene, with fresh seafood, local cheeses and traditional dishes. Today, Cognac is also celebrated in a vibrant and contemporary way, with a dynamic cocktail culture that reinvents this iconic spirit in creative long drinks served in trendy bars and lounges. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a nature lover or a connoisseur of fine spirits, the Cognac region promises an unforgettable journey.

Alongside stays at these beautiful properties the prize features immersive historical experiences, including a walking tour of Cognac from the Middle Ages to the present, a guided tour of the Jonzac Castle and tickets to Musée de la Bande Dessinée, the comics museum in Angouleme.
