If you’re yearning for a sip of the sublime, a taste of tradition intertwined with travel and technology, look no further than Hennessy’s VR experience in Cognac, France.
The venerable French cognac house has just clinched the coveted Best Innovation award at the Wine Tourism Awards, an annual celebration of wine tourism initiatives in France.

So, what’s the buzz all about? Introducing Mobilis, a groundbreaking virtual reality experience that has catapulted Hennessy into the limelight.
Nestled within the hallowed halls of one of Maison Hennessy‘s storied cellars in Cognac, Mobilis isn’t so much an immersive experience as an odyssey through time, art, and craftsmanship.
Conceived by French artists Olivier Kuntzel and Florence Deygas, this 19-minute VR escapade draws inspiration from the whimsical sketches of founder Richard Hennessy himself, scrawled upon his blotting paper in 1765.
Apparently, the visitor attraction took two years of meticulous planning, and the collective genius of 50 creative masterminds, including the virtuosic engineers at studio Backlight (veterans of the VR scene, boasting accolades aplenty) to the skilled hands of Hennessy’s coopers and calligraphers.
The attraction is available year-round to curious souls aged 12 and up, whether you’re embarking on the Hennessy Immersive Initiation, the Hennessy X.O tour, or indulging in the opulent Hennessy Exception Paradis.
And the price of admission? Expect to pay 29€ per person for the Immersive Initiation, 50€ for the Hennessy X.O experience, and for the crème de la crème, the Exception Paradis beckons at 300-500€ per person.
