PRIVATE GUINNESS BEER & IRISH WHISKEY TOUR DUBLIN

This is our best seller! Check out reviews on TripAdvisor for this tour – all 5*****. We pick you up at your Dublin City hotel. Your Whiskey Specialist Host will be in the lobby ready to meet you for a 9:30am kick off!

We board executive transportation and your Host brings to life the wonderful heritage of distilling and brewing in Dublin. We head for the Liberties neighbourhood first, and there is plenty to see on the way here! We’ll pass Trinity College (depending on where your hotel is located) , we’ll be on the River – once the main highway in the city for the Guinness brewery to sail their barrels of beer down to the port. We’ll take you to the sites of some of Dublin’s original distillers. You’ll see what remains of the Powers and Roe Distilleries (both 18th century). We’ll then arrive at the home of our world-famous Guinness beer!

We arrive at Guinness Storehouse a little after 10am, before the masses. But don’t worry, we won’t be drinking beer right away if that sounds a little early in the day for you! Your Host will take you on a private tour of Guinness Storehouse, taking you through each stage of the brewing process and the wonderful history of Guinness through the ages. The Guinness Storehouse visit is usually self-guided, but we’ll ensure you experience the highlights of the tour before finishing on the 7th floor, in the Gravity Bar, where you will enjoy spectacular views over Dublin and more importantly, you will enjoy a pint of Guinness, at the home of Guinness. 

Many guests who take this tour with us, know about Guinness and they might know the basics about Irish whiskey… they might know Jameson , and that’s about it.  They are familiar with bourbon, or Scotch , or Japanese, but as Irish whiskey enjoys year on year growth on the world’s spirits stage, a visit to Dublin offers guests a great opportunity to discover the world of Irish whiskey, and for the second part of our tour today, we go to a distillery nearby Guinness Storehouse – one of the new wave of whiskey makers in the city – the innovators, the disruptors.. the producers of craft whiskey!

Time for shopping included throughout, we drop you back to your hotel jby 1:30pm latest. Oftentimes, we’ll make some lunch reservations in the center of town for our guests and drop them to lunch and we take their shopping back to their hotel for them too, so they don’t have to carry it around all afternoon – we’re all about good Irish hospitality!
