Tour and tasting at Powerscourt Distillery

On the same Powerscourt estate there is a whiskey distillery you can visit: an hour through the production room, with the stills, and the cask warehouse, and at the end a tasting of three Fercullen whiskeys, the house brand. It costs €25. At 15:30 there is another tour with a pairing of cheeses and cured meats, for over-18s only.

You can turn up without booking if there is room, but at weekends it is better to book on their website. If you go by car, think about who is driving.
