An Epicurean Adventure in Ireland
9-day Culinary and Cultural Tour of Southwest Ireland

Ireland has become a fantastic food island boasting a multitude of fervent artisan food producers, an ever-increasing number of inventive chefs and superb restaurants, world-class cooking schools and above all, an abundance of fresh, natural resources. If you love good eats, we invite you to join us and experience the best of this incredible new world of Irish food.

Like a well-prepared dish, our culinary odyssey is a combination of elements savory and sensual – delectable food encounters spiced with the finest accommodations, friendliest people and a rich cultural heritage. Just follow our simple recipe for this amazing journey and we are certain you’ll discover the epicurean wonders of Ireland and be transformed in the process.

We begin by combining the choicest cuts from Ireland’s premier artisan food region, Co. Cork, along with secret ingredients in Counties Kerry and Tipperary. Next we add a generous dollop of fun and informative “hands-on” sessions with several culinary masters at the top of their game. Toss in a healthy pinch of living well as we dine with some of Ireland’s most innovative chefs and stay in some of the most enchanting and celebrated country houses, historic hotels and guesthouses.

To complete our delicious creation comes the most important ingredient of all – intimate meetings with the “rock stars” of the Irish artisanal food movement. You’ll meet producers of the finest, freshest organic food now indigenous to Ireland: delicate hand-crafted cheeses, smoky sausages, silky chocolates, vine-ripe fruits and exotic vegetables, rustic breads, tender organic meats, fresh seafood and smoked salmon. In these encounters are found the true revelations about the culture and traditions of Ireland.

For nearly twenty years we have been sharing our love of Ireland with friends and fellow travelers, passionate about the people and out-of-the-way places that make it so magical. Our favorite culinary discoveries have always been an integral part of that experience. Now they are ready to take center stage, an idea whose time has come.

Join us for this epicurean adventure and you may never think of Ireland or food the same way again.

“You can eat as well in Ireland as you can anywhere – if you know where to go.”
Gerry Galvin, internationally acclaimed Irish Chef
