Luxury holidays in Cognac

When to go

Cognac is an attractive proposition from spring through autumn, when the temperatures are pleasant and the countryside at its best. It’s worth noting that some of the smaller cognac houses close from October to March.

Getting there

• Planes

  The closest airports are La Rochelle–Île de Ré and Bordeaux-Mérignac, both around 90 minutes’ drive from town.

• Automobiles

  This is a rural region and public transport is a bit thin on the ground, so it’s worth hiring a car when you touch down.
