Taste Kilkenny
Kilkenny is home to some of the best food and beverage producers, cafés and restaurants in Ireland, so we wanted to show how good it really is! So we loaded Jacqui Hurley and Jackie Tyrrell (The 2 Jacqui / Jackie’s!) onto a bus and took them on a tour of Kilkenny to sample a few of these places!
Kilkenny is a previous award winning food destination City and we hope this road trip gives a sense of the pride and quality of our food and beverage offering! Thanks to Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for funding to make this possible and also a huge thanks to Ballykeefe Distillery, Highbank Orchards, Truffle Fairy, Goatsbridge Trout Farm, Mount Juliet Estate, Mount Juliet Golf Club, musecoffeefood.ie, Paris Texas Bar & Restaurant, Zuni, Statham’s Kilkenny Kilkenny, Kilkenny County Council & Local Enterprise Office Kilkenny

As an agricultural stronghold, with some of the best pasture land in Ireland, farming plays a huge role in the story of food in Kilkenny.
