02For spirits, the Cognac Getaway in 6 Days stays in one 4* or 5* hotel (Hotel François Premier or Chais Monnet & Spa) and goes deep: a cognac masterclass, an e-bike ride to a family distillery, a workshop where you blend your own bottle of Bordeaux, a cooking class, a VIP lunch at Rémy Martin and a two-hour tasting inside the Hennessy cooperage, the last major house still making its own barrels. From 1,999 € per person. The Bordeaux and Dordogne Road Trip adds Saint-Émilion châteaux by e-bike, a hot-air balloon over the vines, an oyster harvest on the Bay of Arcachon and the Saturday market in Sarlat, from 1,499 € per person. Burgundy's Route des Grands Crus with a winemaker lunch is the second chapter of our 14-day France itinerary.
