VINEGAR TOUR & TASTING: Meet your host Carole at an artisanal vinegar making facility in Bouteville, a village located a 20-min drive from Cognac. Begin your 1.5 hour experience with a tour of the castle and vineyards. Get an understanding of the history and origin of vinegar in France and learn how French vinegar is handcrafted from grape juice harvested in the best plots of the vineyards and aged in quality Cognac barrels. Next taste a variety of balsamic condiments, vinegars and soy sauce and learn about what makes these artisanal French products unique and how the different wood in the barrel imparts different tastes to the vinegar. Enjoy a food pairing with a regional selection of charcuterie, cheese, bread and oysters and wash it down with a glass of local wine.
