Informative, interesting, and free drinks after excursions. IG: art.preo
Excellent. A great team day. A trip around the distillery followed by a history of the brand. At the end a free taste and a boutique.
Multiple free drinks of Cointreau, visit where they dump orange peels into beetroot alcohol and boil it. Discover how they water it down with water, hopefully not from the Loire, and then sweeten it up with beet sugar. Watch longingly as they pack crates of Remy Martin XO cognac and wonder what could have been. Find out how hard liquor was marketed to the drunken poor by turning a sad clown caricature into a happy one carrying hard liquor. Worth the trip.
Superb tour. Good value for money. Available in English as well.
Excellent tour of the distillery with interactive cocktail making at the end. Guides are truly fantastic and even did a last minute language switch and did the whole tour in English for me!
