To discover all the secrets of Armagnac, head for the Domaine Départemental D’Ognoas Ognoas, in Arthez-d’Armagnac. On the way, stop off at the Château de Ravignan, in the hamlet of Perquie, which houses artefacts from the military, commercial and religious epics of the De la Croix de Ravignan family, and where a famous Armagnac is still produced. At the Domaine d’Ognoas, a guided tour leads to the ancient wine storehouse where the oldest still in Gascony (1804), listed in the register of Historic Monuments, stands. Here you can feel the spirit of Armagnac, learn how to taste the precious beverage and even stay in one of the estate’s farmhouses. Ognoas is also the starting point for several hikes. On the way back, a stop in Villeneuve-de-Marsan is a must, for a drink on a terrace, to enjoy the market on the village square, to stock up on Landes products at the producers’ shop Ô Champs. Or all three at once!
