Distillery & Brewery Visits
This is a unique tour that is visiting some of Ireland’s newest distilleries and breweries. There is an Irish Renaissance happening in the Irish Whiskey world and we will see this first-hand.
On this tour we will visit Kilbeggan, Tullamore D.E.W., Dingle, Walsh & Teeling Distilleries. We will also visit breweries in Cork, Killarney and the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin.
Unique Excursions
Cultural and historical sights are an important element of this trip. We make visits to the Blarney, Kilkenny and Dublin Castles, a hike through the Gap of Dunloe, and a special visit to the ancient tombs at Newgrange.
We cover a lot of ground on this trip and end with a relaxing 3-night stay in Dublin to explore this cosmopolitan city.
Group Camaraderie
