What to expect
Around the harbour town that started Irish food tourism, with tastings from the smokehouse, the cheesemonger, the chowder kitchens and a chocolatier, plus the story of the 1601 siege.
Six tastings + the 1601 battle told on the spot Departures run from Ireland, and the whole experience takes about 3 hours — enough to fit it into a single day of a wider Ireland itinerary.
