Food Tour of Ireland

Set out on an 8‑day culinary and archaeological adventure in Ireland with us, July 21–27, 2025. You’ll discover coastal gems on the Wild Atlantic Way, forage for native seaweed, cook traditional dishes—like peeled shell mussels and stone-oat soda bread—and explore ancient sites built before history was written. With intimate farm-to-table meals and behind-the-scenes time with chefs and archaeologists, this is a deeply nourishing immersion into Ireland’s food heritage.
