The gourmet joys of holidaying in Ireland – Staycation bliss

Ireland is becoming such an exciting destination for holidays. Our incredible scenery countrywide, our native wildlife, our forestation, our sandy beaches and more recently the rising temperatures.

For those who enjoy seeking out local Irish artisanal cheese, the freshest seafood, locally grown organic vegetables, warm sour dough bread, craft chocolates excitingly this is becoming a pleasure rather than a chore. Most recently demonstrated by the explosion of new gourmet activities in Abbeyleix, County Laois, indicative of the gourmet renaissance that is happening throughout Ireland. We could name check so many great producers here but half the thrill is happening upon them single handedly.

For those who also enjoy the pleasure of a well-chosen wine yet find that although the local produce is world class there is a lag in the local availability of said, we at Whelehans Wines can address this short fall. We deliver nationwide and can tailor wines that will complement the local produce you favour sublimely. Just drop us an email or visit us. 

Our dedicated team will step in and find that perfect Crémant or Champagne to toast the sunset or that well matured Bordeaux to complement the local lamb or that mouth-watering Pouilly-Fumé to partner the local goats cheese or of course a great white Burgundy to celebrate the pleasures of great Irish Seafood.

We hope you have a fantastic holiday.
