The Raby family has owned its vineyard for 5 generations. The domain is located in Segonzac on the lands of the knight of la Croix Maron, inventor of the double distillation, in the hart of the Grande Champagne region, considered the finest terroir of cognac. We would be pleased to welcome you at the domain to let you discover the secrets of our cognacs, pineaux, wines and grape juices.

We really enjoyed our Cognac tasting here - we rang ahead to confirm a time (I think you can book online too) - it was a busy week so there was only time for a tasting not a full tour. Cécile is really friendly & speaks excellent English & gave us a really good insight into how they run their family-run business. We’d had their cognac before so it was no surprise to us how good it tasted - but it was great to taste different ages of cognac alongside each other & to hear more about how it is produced. They have grape juices to taste for the non-drinkers too, and liqueurs alongside the different cognacs. There’s no pressure to buy, but Raby is good value for an excellent Cognac - I’d much prefer to buy from them than pay extra for a big brand. We hope to go back for a full tour when we’re next in France.

Sur les bords de la Charente se dessine Jarnac, où en 1763 débute l'aventure de la Maison Hine. Deux siècles et demi après le voyage fondateur de Thomas Hine depuis le Dorset, les chais historiques du 16 quai de l'Orangerie vous sont ouverts. Traversant le Paradis et le Chai des Millésimes, vous découvrirez les singularités de la Maison Hine, seul fournisseur officiel de cognac de la Cour d'Angleterre.

We just visited the wonderful House of Hine for a tour with Rudolphe. My husband discovered Hine about 20 years ago in Oddbins at home in Glasgow and will not buy anything else now. The tour did not disappoint! Rudolphe was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who made the tour interesting and fun. The free tour allows you to taste 2 Hines - amazing! And for 10€ my husband got to taste the XO also - very worth the money. Thank you to Rudolphe and Hine! What a wonderful cognac and tour! Don’t hesitate to book!

What a lovely square, surrounded with interesting shops, Boulanger, fantastic boucherie, restaurants and bar. Pick a table, order your coffee, beer or wine and watch life pass by. Aubeterre-sur-Dronne is one of the prettiest villages in France (official) and there are lots of tourists wandering around. Wish we could have stayed longer in the Old Bank apartments.
