What To Expect
Braastad Cognac
Ideally located in Jarnac on the banks of the Charente, the TIFFON establishments invite you to discover its exceptional heritage within an emblematic building. Founded in 1875, explore the authenticity of an independent family house whose production secrets have been passed down for 6 generations. The House is run by the Braastad family and runs the estate in a traditional way by being an actor from the vine to the glass. Immerse yourself in the secrets of cognac manufacturing through the different stages of production: history, know-how, distillation. This dive into the heart of cognac will take you to our cellars and introduce you to the art of aging and blending. Finally, after a visit to our cabinet of curiosities, the experience ends with the tasting. We present our iconic cognacs from the 3 reference categories: VS, VSOP, XO to better understand the different facets of cognac. *Tasting reserved for adults.

5.00I didn’t know all this technicality necessary to make Cognac. The history of this economic and family heritage is captivating. And how beautiful it is installations that seem from another time! It was very rewarding with a guide with little care, dynamic and attentive. Thank you.
Well worth the time and money.

5.00Very informative in English. Our guide was very personable. He didn’t hurry us through and encouraged questions and didn’t rush the tasting.
Superb.

5.00Fantastic personalised tour by Erik. He was very engaging and knowledgeable, even managing to keep our two teenage daughters interested in the cognac process! Would highly recommend, much more personable than the larger cognac houses.
Visit and tasting at the top! Great guide!
