Guests are invited to slow down and immerse themselves in the beauty of the Irish landscape on this exclusive two-and-a-half-hour guided wildflower walk. In the company of an expert host, they will discover a tapestry of native plants and blossoms, each revealed through its culinary notes, healing traditions, and place in Irish folklore.This is a learning journey rather than a foraging expedition: delicately curated tastings are offered to enhance the experience, but nothing is gathered or taken away.
