Very beautiful visit. - Very interesting visit with a highly competent guide. Additionally, there were only two of us, and it was great. We were not familiar with this brand of cognac.

All the way from Australia - A guided tour to Braastad Cognac is a worthy visit! Eric our guide is very knowledgeable with very good English and very friendly. It was a wonderful experience to learn how much detail and passion goes into the process of making this 6th generation family Cognac. I really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended! Thank you for the experience.. Matilde

Great. - Great visit to the brandy house! The building is beautiful, full of charm and history, we are immediately immersed in the atmosphere. Many thanks to our guide Eric, exciting, pedagogical and really enjoyable — he knew how to make the visit lively from start to finish. And finally, the tasting was just great, with some great discoveries. An experience I recommend without hesitation! Remember to consume with conscience.

Really worth a detour! - Erik agreed to a private tour at five minutes notice. What a star! The tour was engaging and informative, and good value for money. Erik is the best tour guide ever! He was very funny and made it the highlight of our holiday. We are sooooo glad his neighbouring, well know, cognac house was shut. I am sure it would not have been so much fun. We had never heard of Braastard, but we will look out for it now. Their VS brandy with ginger ale was a revelation. And their pineau......superb! Can HIGHLY recommend a visit here. Thank you for a charming couple of hours Erik.

How beautiful! - I didn’t know all this technicality necessary to make Cognac. The history of this economic and family heritage is captivating. And how beautiful it is installations that seem from another time! It was very rewarding with a guide with little care, dynamic and attentive. Thank you.

Well worth the time and money. - Very informative in English. Our guide was very personable. He didn’t hurry us through and encouraged questions and didn’t rush the tasting.

A unique moment at the heart of Braastad know-how - What a pleasure to have made this visit alongside Erik! This guide is exceptional and has passed on all the know-how and history of these magnificent houses. This visit really deserves the detour and makes live an experience in small committee which is very pleasant. What can be said about the tasting which is very pleasant, varied and made with spirit! Thank you again, we loved this moment.
