Since 2023, our guided tours include a mesmerizing virtual reality odyssey, MOBILIS, the brainchild of world-renowned French artists Olivier Kuntzel & Florence Deygas. Two years in the making, this ambitious work of art blends the simplicity of drawing together with cutting-edge technology, bringing to life the Hennessy saga in a way never seen before.

MOBILIS was voted 'Best Innovation' at the 2024 Wine Tourism Awards, at the 2025 Best of Wine awards in Bordeaux, and by the Iter Vitis European Network of Wine Museums.

Your visit continues in the Faïencerie cellar. There, in the half-light, alignments of hundreds of barrels speak to a mystique that goes back centuries. The wood of the barrels is always hand-calligraphed with chalk to indicate the year of harvest and provenance of the eaux-de-vie. Find out about the natural phenomenon known as the "angels' share."

A presentation of our Tasting Committee's daily ritual - an organization for excellence that is unique to Hennessy, and sets us apart from all other cognacs - is followed by a guided tasting of two iconic cognacs: Hennessy V.S and V.S.O.P (served neat, on the rocks and in a cocktail).

This visit is fully accessible to visitors with special access needs. A "Mobility Inclusion" reduced ticket rate is available for them and a guest, bookable online or by email directly with our team.
