Taste of Ireland

The Irish call whiskey “uisce beatha,” which literally translates to “water of life.”

But the Irish are smart enough to know that there is far more to life than water - or whiskey, for that matter.

New Irish Foodie Tours - seven-night guided vacations by CIE Tours International have been very popular.

Trip highlights include...........

· Tea tour through Dublin aboard a vintage double-decker bus, followed by a visit to The Dublin Liberties Distillery for whiskey education and tastings

· Cooking class and friendly “cook-off” competition at Dublin’s premier cooking school, appropriately set in the heart of the city’s creative hub

· Visit to the monastic site of Glendalough. Then on to Cork to visit a family-run farm and sample the incredible cheese and natural yoghurt made thanks to its flock of 400 goats.

· Stop at the iconic covered English Market of Cork, which dates to 1788 and offers traditional and artisanal products, including Irish classics like tripe and drisheen.

· The gift of eloquence—if lore is to be believed—during a visit to Blarney Castle

· Scenic drive along the rugged coast to Kerry for a chocolate making class with an award-winning pastry chef

· Visit to Derrynane House, ancestral home of Daniel O’Connell, who was instrumental in the making of modern Ireland

· Seashore stroll for seaweed foraging, learning from local experts about the nutritional, horticultural and cosmetic benefits of ocean plants, with an opportunity to sample the superfood fresh from the rocks

· Whiskey and chocolate pairing during a special dinner in Killarney

· Ferry ride from Kerry to Clare to explore a cheese farm in Inagh, just south of the limestone landscape of the Burren, followed by a trip to the spectacular Cliffs of Moher.
