Discover Cork, the city of a thousand welcomes with the Cork Culinary Tour. Join their experienced local guides as they share their passion and knowledge of their beloved city.

The Cork Culinary Tour is designed to bring people together, with a mission to deepen human connections through storytelling, Irish culture, food and drink. The tour wanders through Cork City's famous food and beverage market, the English Market, in operation since the 18th century. Here guests get to meet and chat with local traders for a bit of 'craic', which is the Irish word for fun.

The Cork Culinary Tour takes in the very best the city has to offer. With prebooked tastings of local award winning cheese, mouthwatering seafood fresh from the Atlantic, handmade Irish bread, and gourmet country sausages, and more, which are then all washed down with a creamy pint.

The tour finishes in a relaxed gastro pub where guests can enjoy a sharing platter and a local beverage of choice.

Tours typically last three hours and begin at the Tourist Information Centre on Patrick Street, where you will meet your local, knowledgeable guide. Private tours are available upon request.

The Cork Culinary Tour begins with a moderate stroll through quirky streets and alleys to the first venue for a welcome Irish coffee, in one of Cork’s heritage pubs. After getting to know each other a little better, the food tasting part of the tour begins. Wandering through the English Market, meet with local traders who proudly display their produce for tasting.

The tour requires a minimum of two participants but joining a tour is possible for solo travellers. The Cork Culinary Tour is not suitable for vegan or other guests with dietary restrictions, nor would it be suitable for guests with any kind of mobility issues.
