We have been lucky enough to travel many times to this area of France making it a large part of our relationship. We love it and wanted to be able to share it with all the people we love as well.

Rehearsal Party
Tuesday, August 11, 2026
La Tuf: 5pm—7pm
Join us at our favorite brewery in the area! Located in the village of Cotignac (our favorite town), the Tailleur de Bière experiments with recipes inspired by local flavors such as saffron or mimosa to create unique seasonal beers. The brewery gets its name “The Tuf” thanks to the limestone rock of Cotignac embedded around the building.
We’ll meet on the Terrace and enjoy an open tab for drinks and plenty of Ham & Cheese plates with Crackers and tapenades.
Feel free to come to the city early to explore or stay after our party time to enjoy more of the town (or beer) on your own. Plan for a 30 minute drive from the house to get to Cotignac.
While there is street parking in town it is probably best to park in this lot and walk to the brewery.
