8 Days | 7 Nights | 14 Meals
Many travelers think they'll be getting the standard, boiled British food when visiting Ireland, but that's not true! Sure you can indulge in fresh fish and chips, which is a frankly delicious bar staple, but there are delicacies all over the country. From delectable mutton throughout the farmlands to mouthwatering oysters and seafood along the coast, Ireland has a decadent palate.
Enjoy a cooking class and friendly cook-off in Dublin's premier cooking school, learn chocolate making from an award winning French pastry chef, enjoy a vintage tea tour, enjoy a stroll along the seashore while foraging for seaweed...oh and did we mention delighting your senses with a whiskey and chocolate pairing? These make for a perfect culinary experience while in Ireland.
But that's not all! We will be enjoying all of these culinary delights while exploring picturesque sites along the way like the Ring of Kerry, Blarney Castle and the Cliffs of Moher to name a few. So why not take the culinary Irish adventure you deserve and reserve your space now!

One thing Angela noticed once she entered the Corporate world was how little time she ended up actually taking her vacation time to do just that — go somewhere new and create memories. She always had plans but one thing led to another and it never seemed she had time to plan for the dream trip. Now she is able to insure that this does not happen to others by helping the create customizable DREAM vacations.

Steve has studied visual communications at Jackson College. He has always enjoyed art; drawing and photography have always been a passion of his. Steve can still remember the first camera that he used; a 110 film camera. He was probably 6 or 7 years old. So it's not too far-fetched to say that he has 30 years of experience, though he has only been shooting professionally for about 6 years.
Steve will be capturing all the memories of this tour in photos that will be uploaded each morning for you to enjoy and share with your family and friends back home. **At the end of the tour he will be posting professionally edited portraits for downloand and print.
