COOKING WITH VLADA / COGNAC REGION - FRANCE AND PEARS IN CREAM SAUCE_0047_ S4E8
Vlada travels to the heart of France’s legendary Cognac region for a rare and unforgettable experience—joining the exclusive grape harvest for two of the world’s most prestigious cognac houses. From the vineyard to the cellar, we take you behind the scenes of this centuries-old craft, following every step of the process: harvesting the grapes, carefully distilling the eaux-de-vie, and aging the spirit in oak barrels to develop its rich character.
This immersive journey doesn’t end in France. We return home with a special bottle of cognac, ready to transform it into something truly indulgent. In the kitchen, we create a refined dessert: delicate poached pears in a fragrant cognac syrup, served atop crisp meringue and finished with a luscious, creamy cognac sauce.
It’s a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and flavor—bringing the spirit of Cognac from vineyard to table.
