Taste your way through Cork with a local guide, from award-winning Irish cheese in the English Market to a whiskey finished in casks from the very building you drink it in. Over 3.5 hours you'll enjoy 6 tastings and 4 local drinks across the city centre, the old Huguenot Quarter and the far bank of the River Lee.
Start with a toasted sandwich and a cup of Cork tea in a family-run pub that has poured pints for two hundred years. Then head into the English Market, one of Europe's oldest covered markets, for local cheeses and a seafood platter fresh from the harbours. Warm up with seafood chowder, home-baked bread and a glass of stout, see how Cork's only chocolate factory makes its chocolate, and cross the Lee for your final pour.
Somewhere along the way comes our Secret Dish! We won't say what it is, only that it's worth the walk.
