One of my favorite things we did in Ireland. Such a fun and unique experience. Zara was the best tour host. Funny and friendly! I dragged my reluctant teenager along and he actually really enjoyed it. Got a great lil history lesson and learned some fun facts about Ireland. And the mead is fantastic! Highly recommend.

Kinsale Mead was one of the coolest tours we have ever done. Dennis and Kate (the owners) are such a lovely couple! It was a cold, dreary, rainy day and Dennis warmed up some mead for us upon arrival. My family and I loved everything about it. I wish I had more room in my suitcase to bring home the delicious mead. Thank you for a lovely tour!

Kinsale Mead Co. is an absolute must-visit on a trip to Kinsale! Kate was incredibly accommodating, warm, and knowledgeable. We had a tasting and she talked us through the meads we tried and shared details about the history of mead-making in Ireland and their business. We had not tried mead before and were amazed by the wide variety of tasting notes and the delicate but notable flavors. Truly one of our favorite places we’ve visited in Ireland. I can say with confidence we are now mead drinkers! Really a fabulous establishment run by lovely people.

We had a lovely mead tasting at Kinsale Mead Company. Tasting costs €12 per person. The four varieties were ALL excellent and our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly about the immediate and far regions. We were hard pressed to decide which ones to walk away with. Lol. Such a dilemma to have. We live here now so we walked out with 2 of our favorites and will be back for more. I highly recommend Kinsale Mead Company. We had our first glass at a local pub and that’s why we knew we had to go directly to the actual company for a tasting!

This intimate tour was perfect! The right blend of educational, fun, and hand on that we look for in a tour. It was a comfortable homey setting and the staff made us feel truly welcome. Plus, the mead was delicious!

What a fun afternoon activity! Zara was a lovely host who told us all about the history of mead and the saints with some cheeky humor. We started the tour with a small mulled mead and then had the signature range (Wild red, Atlantic dry, Hazy summer), plus an extra pour of what was available - the Merlot and the Dark forest honey mead. We also got to walk through the meadery, with the barrels where they ferment the mead and process it. We also tried some honey, and got to taste from a special barrel of local honey. They also offer WiFi, and have one restroom in their tasting room, which has a counter with four high stools as well as four small tasting tables with stools. The bottle are so beautiful and great for gifting (there is a 3 mini sample set) and they sell the plastic air bubble packaging to protect your precious bottles for transport for only 2 euros. It’s a little tricky to find at first, but it’s at the end of the building by the fence next to Lidl, by a vet. We highly recommend visiting the only mead producer in Ireland! They’re also sustainably-minded and Origin Green certified.

We were a large family group & enjoyed learning about the history of mead & the taste testing. Zara was an entertaining tour guide and great with my son who kept interrupting her to ask questions (we are working on this!). The mead was delicious & loved learning about the Saints in Ireland. This was great for age 8 to 80, which was the age range of our group! The kids coloured in & enjoyed hearing the old Irish stories and tasting the honey. If I were to give a small bit of constructive feedback, it would be that the 'Irish love drinking' rhetoric is a bit clichéd for an Irish audience. Otherwise a great tour.
