Vendange in Cognac: Celebrating the Grape Harvest

What
The Vendange, or grape harvest, is a time of hard work and celebration. Experience the vibrant atmosphere with wine tastings, vineyard tours, and local festivals filled with music, dancing, and delicious cuisine.

When
The grape harvest typically takes place from mid-September to early October, making autumn the perfect season to enjoy this cultural highlight.

Where
The heart of the Vendange is in Cognac’s renowned vineyards, particularly in the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne crus, as well as nearby villages like Jarnac and Segonzac.

Join Us

Join us for the 2025 Vendange at our Autumn Amber Harvest Retreat, where we’ll celebrate with a private harvest experience at a family-owned vineyard, truffle hunting, plein air painting, wellness sessions, and cultural activities—all designed for an intimate group of just ten guests.
