Morning:

Dublin Food Tasting Trail

On a gentle 2.5/3 hour stroll we visit six to seven different places, all independently owned, tasting in each place and meeting the purveyors or makers. The tastings reflect the current food scene, bringing new international and contemporary tastes to the Irish table and all using great Irish produce. As you enjoy the food, you’ll also learn a little about the culture and history of our lively and charming city from your local guide.

Pricing: 65 euro per person (min 9/ max 12). Mid-morning to lunch, no transport included.

​

Afternoon: 

Dublin Distillery Trail (1:30pm – 5:30pm) 

Dublin was once the whiskey making capital of the world. Irish whiskey was the world leader right up until the early 1900s until a perfect storm of national and international events decimated the whiskey scene. All 37 Dublin distilleries closed one by one, and it wasn’t until 2015 that Irish whiskey had recovered to the point that distilleries began to reopen in Dublin again, and now we have a Renaissance on our hands!

This afternoon, we bring this story to life, and we take you to the new whiskey district of Dublin – The Liberties!

We line up a trail of non-repetitive visits and tastings in 3 Dublin distilleries: 

• Teeling Whiskey Distillery

• Dublin Liberties Distillery

• Pearse Lyons Distillery

Pricing: 95 euro per person. Includes whiskey guide, executive coach, all admissions and tastings at the 3 distilleries. Min 15/max 25 per tour.
