Private Full-Day Armagnac Tour from Bordeaux: Distilleries and Medieval Village
Discover France's oldest brandy on a private full-day Armagnac tour from Bordeaux featuring visits to two family-owned distilleries in the prestigious Bas-Armagnac region. Learn about traditional Armagnac production dating back to the 1400s, explore historic copper alembic stills, and enjoy expert-led comparative tastings of aged eaux-de-vie. Visit the beautifully preserved medieval bastide village of Labastide-d'Armagnac with its iconic Place Royale, and discover why Armagnac remains one of France's most distinctive and artisanal spirits.

Visit Family-Owned Bas-Armagnac Estates
Your journey begins at a renowned Bas-Armagnac estate, the most prestigious of the three Armagnac appellations known for its tawny sandy soils that produce the finest, most elegant brandies. Armagnac is France's oldest eau-de-vie, documented since the mid-1400s and popularized in distilled form by Dutch merchants who recognized its exceptional quality. Meet the estate owners who personally select grapes from the best terroirs of Bas-Armagnac, cultivating and bottling extraordinary brandies aged in their family cellars.

Tour approximately 40 contributing estates that form an exceptional collection, learning how single-column continuous distillation in traditional copper alembic stills differs from Cognac's double distillation, creating Armagnac's characteristic robust, complex character.

Participate in a commented tasting session exploring Grands Assemblages (premium blends) and vintage Armagnacs, discovering aromas of prune, vanilla, caramel, and spice that develop during decades of oak barrel aging.

Explore Labastide-d'Armagnac Medieval Bastide Village
After your first visit, discover Labastide-d'Armagnac, one of the region's most beautiful and best-preserved bastide villages. Founded in the late 13th century by Bernard VI, Count of Armagnac, during English rule, this fortified village was strategically built around the harmonious Place Royale, named in honor of the King of England. The square remains bordered by colorful medieval houses featuring distinctive arches, porticos, and colonnades, maintaining its architectural design and medieval charm fully intact.

Follow your guide through narrow cobbled streets as you learn about bastide town planning—fortified villages constructed in geometric patterns during the Middle Ages to establish territorial control and economic centers. Enjoy free time for lunch at local restaurants serving traditional Gascon cuisine including duck confit, foie gras, and regional wines before continuing to your second Armagnac estate.

Winemakers Museum and Traditional Alembic Stills
Your final visit includes access to the Winemakers and Alembic Museums, housing antique vineyard tools and century-old copper stills still in active use today. Witness traditional Armagnac production methods preserved across generations, understanding how continuous column distillation at lower temperatures retains more grape character and aromatic complexity compared to other brandies. After touring the museum and distillery facilities, enjoy a final Armagnac tasting comparing different ages, vintages, and cru designations.

Your expert guide provides personalized attention throughout the day, answering questions about this distinctive Gascon spirit. Return to Bordeaux after a full day exploring France's most artisanal and historic brandy region.
