An exploration of the history and know-how of Maison Hennessy. Discover our new virtual reality installation, MOBILIS, at the crossroads of high technology and poetry.

A multisensory discovery behind the scenes of Maison Hennessy, offered all year round. Embark on a brief crossing of the Charente to discover the city and the role of the river in the development of cognac, then enter the Chai des Pavillons, which presents through a contemporary scenography the history and know-how of the Home.

Then discover the brand new immersive virtual reality experience, MOBILIS. A visual, sound and sensory creation imagined by French artists Olivier Kuntzel & Florence Deygas and inspired by the expressive sketches of founder Richard Hennessy. This multidisciplinary creation at the crossroads of high technology and poetry required 2 years of work and the talent of more than 50 contributors.

Continue your visit by crossing the threshold of an active aging cellar, where you will learn about the phenomenon called "the angels' share". Highlight of the visit: discover the daily ritual of the Hennessy Tasting Committee and take part in a guided tasting of our emblematic Hennessy VS and VSOP cognacs (served neat, on ice and in cocktails). The unique opportunity to discover the only boutique in the world to offer the entire Hennessy cognac collection, including its rarest limited editions.
