The gourmet joys of holidaying in Ireland – Staycation bliss

Ireland is becoming such an exciting destination for holidays. Our incredible scenery countrywide is such a natural resource for us to celebrate. Our native wildlife, our forestation, our sandy beaches and more recently rising temperatures highlights why Ireland is such a compelling choice.

For those who enjoy seeking out the local Irish cheese, the freshest seafood, locally grown organic vegetables, the warm sour dough bread this is now becoming the norm rather than the exception. Witness the explosion of new gourmet activities in Abbeyleix indicative of the gourmet renaissance that is happening right left and centre.

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 Bordeaux to complement the local lamb or that mouthwatering 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.
