One of the things people love most about Ireland is our connection to our heritage and history. Here, the past lives and breathes through our incredible castles, our breathtaking battlegrounds and beloved legends. So, why not step right into it and feast in the same great halls as the lords and ladies of bygone times? Galway’s Dunguaire Castle and Bunratty Castle in County Clare both host spectacular medieval banquets, with music, mead and storytelling lifting your spirits as you enjoy a four-course dinner by flickering candlelight. For something a little more fantastical, you can travel to Winterfell for an authentic Game of Thrones® feast, complete with costumes for the whole party!

In recent years, artisanal whiskey production has sky-rocketed in Ireland, with each distillery set on creating the perfect liquid gold. In County Westmeath, Kilbeggan is the undisputed authority. Visitors here can follow the team’s expert process from start to finish, even filling their own bottle straight from a cask! 
In Dublin, the Teeling brothers opened their self-named distillery in 2015—just down the road from where their ancestors performed the same alchemy back in the 1700s. A tour here combines local history with industry insights—and, of course, a snifter or two to taste.
But if it’s pedigree you seek, you can’t do better than Bushmills in County Antrim. The team here has been crafting their award-winning spirits, using water from the nearby River Bush, for over four centuries—making it the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world.
