Whether it’s a taste of St Tola goat’s cheese, a sliver of Burren premium beef, some oysters from the local Grade A waters, or a sip of elderflower champagne followed by a foraging walk in a park, foodies are in for a real treat.
As well as cookery demos by celebrity chefs using ingredients from the Burren GEOfood area, there will be talks by guest speakers, including one by the founder of the GEOfood movement from Norway’s Magma UNESCO Global Geopark.
The festival offers the perfect opportunity to sample Irish artisan foods, meet the local growers, producers and traders that make the area such a unique and dynamic food destination and mix with fellow foodies. A true taste of the County Clare culture in the stunning setting of the Burren is guaranteed.
Home to the incredible Cliffs of Moher, the Burren has been shaped by geological forces over hundreds of millions of years. Rocky, otherworldly and seemingly austere, the outstandingly beautiful region is named from the Irish word ‘boireann’ meaning 'place of stone'.
And if there is time, away from the food tastings a multitude of eco-friendly activities awaits.
From walking tours, cycling, adventure sports, culture, wellbeing and surfing to traditional Irish pubs and restaurants, all promoting responsible travel and the conservation of the environment, there is no better sustainable experience to be had on the Wild Atlantic Way than in the Burren.
