Day 1 – Cashel and Adare
This morning, we meet with our friendly Driver/Guide and head south through the hidden heartlands. Our first visit today is at Ballykilcavan Farm & Brewery – 13 generations of the Walsh family have farmed this land for over 380 years – the farmhouse itself is 240 years old. We end our visit with a tasting flight of 3 family-brewed beers! Then we head to Cashel where we will have free time to explore the town, have a bite to eat or just stretch the legs before we enjoy a guided tour of the famous Rock of Cashel, once the high seat of the Kings or Ireland. This evening, we will enjoy a welcome dinner at our hotel.

Following a panoramic tour of Cork City, we head to Cobh, the last port of call for the ill-fated liner, Titanic. Here we will walk in the footsteps of some of the passengers at the amazing Titanic Experience.

Our last day and our final Full Irish!
