Great E2E view of cognac process with lovely tasting
TheMickeyG, Jun 2024
Really interesting tour with a good balance of educational and entertainment aspects. Generous tasting at the end. English speaking tour and Eric spoke well. His prior knowledge of other cognac houses also helps elaborate on differences in practice. Great tour as can see process end to end as they distill on site - not the norm on most cognac tours. PS. The cognac tasted good too. My fave was the Braastad Extra and my wife’s was the Tiffon XO. Booked through GetYourGuide but seems cheaper via TripAdvisor.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your kind feedback!
It was a great pleasure to show you around on our historical site in Jarnac.
You had a deep-dive experience through cognac crafting. You had the opportunity to visit our distillery and an ageing cellar among other places in our iconic building along the river Charente.
Our visits are sold at the same price wether you choose direct booking or through third -party websites like getyourguide or viator (Tripadvisor).
we suggest this year 2 types of visits with different prices.
We all at Braastad very greatful and appreciate your message which is a great reward for us.
Looking forward welcoming you again !
Awesome experience!

A very personal tour

We booked a basic tour and we’re very surprised by the detailed and personal approach offered by a very knowledgable gentleman,Eric ( the Demi Viking). My wife and I were escorted over the whole site, which is substantial, in a two hour slot without rushing and were captivated by the history of the company , also Eric’s in-depth stories when we probed further into his own experiences. This gentleman has a wealth of knowledge which was very surprising for his age. But then everything is relative and we are both considered “ seniors” in some parlances.

Dear Halltours,
Thank you very much for your kind feed-back.
We all are very happy that you enjoyed your visit.
It was a real pleasure telling you the caracteristics and the story of our iconic cognac house.
Since the vision of the founder, Médéric Tiffon, to the style of our cognacs inspired by the work and heritage of Sverre Braastad, we are all proud to show our historical site in Jarnac where our cognacs are made . Our tailor-made visit showed you the facilities such as the autentic distillery, our unique blending cellar and our Paradis Cellar.
The tasting of 3 very cognacs topped the expererience. It is very valuable for us to see that you get the most of our visit and you enjoyed your time here.
Feel welcome back :)

The tour was very interesting, Eric was an excellent guide. The museum was probably my favourite part of the tour and of course the tasting was exquisite.

The paradis cellar that hosts our museum IS very specific and stunning.
It is valuable for us to read that the tasting was a interesting and good moment too :)
We all hope to welcome you again in Jarnac for other experiences!
Thanks again for the feedback!

Fabulous

We completely enjoyed this informative and fun tour. Eric was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The family pride and history surrounding Braastad was evident. Loved the story that lead to the uniting of two families who had the same interest. Also, the mutual respect shared with the other Cognac makers within the same region was admirable. I would highly recommend this tour. The cognac tasting was fantastic! Eric was very generous. Do this! Great value for your euro.

Dear Josanne,
Thank you very much for your kind worlds!
I had the same feeling, it was very fun during the visit and it was a great pleasure to introduce you to the cognac world.
And thank you for pointing out aspects of the visit that were remarcable to you.
I had the opportunity to tell you the nearly 150 years old history of our cognac house and its particularities.
You had the possibilty to visit our authentic distillery, the ageing cellar and our Paradis cellar.
Being generous is a core value for us at Braastad.
Taking the time during the visit ( like time is precious for the ageing process), being curious and precise are other values...
You are more than welcome visiting us again !
Best ragards,
Erik
