Set at 1 Brewery Ln in Killarney, this 2.5-hour guided experience invites visitors to get hands-on with the flavors that define Irish food heritage today.

Killarney itself is a gateway to some of Ireland’s most stunning landscapes—rugged mountains to the west, the shimmering lakes of Killarney National Park, and ancient woodlands providing a backdrop that’s as rich as the local larder.

Kenmare Foodie excels in curating an experience that’s simultaneously educational and indulgent. Participants meet passionate food artisans, sample distinctive local products, and encounter stories that reveal the deep traditions behind each bite and sip. The trail includes stops at specialty food shops and craft breweries situated within walking distance, allowing guests to engage all their senses.
What sets the Killarney Tasting Trail apart is its focus on authenticity and sustainability, reflecting the slow food movement thriving in this part of Ireland.
