This was a great...
This was a great experience - learned a lot about the mead making. Would highly recommend this to anyone coming to Kinsale.
A very positive experience.
My husband and myself took my Mum as a birthday treat. We all loved the experience. We were met by a lovely lady (sorry, did not get her name) who was very friendly and welcoming. I think the man who gave the presentation was called Kevin. He was a wonderful speaker, witty and knowledgeable. They were able to answer intelligently any questions they were asked by us visitors. A great couple of hours and well worth it. I would recommend it to anyone of any age.
Delightful afternoon activity
Our tour group decided to visit Kinsale Mead Co as a last minute add on, and I’m so happy we did! Our mead guide was very knowledgeable and funny. We got to taste the best honey I’ve ever had and, of course, delicious mead. It was a delightful afternoon, and a fun way to learn some Irish history.
Fascinating!
We took the one hour tour and it was fascinating to hear about the ancient history and folklore surrounding mead, then to see how Kinsale Mead is produced. Heart and soul go into it with this small team and the meads are super tasty too!
Great family experience.
Wonderful experience right there just above Kinsale. Cara, our host, led us through the history of mead making in Ireland, how it was forgotten, and how it may Make a comeback in Ireland. All while seeing how it’s made and the opportunity to sample and take some home. Thank you, Cara.
