Operated by Ireland Whiskey Tours · Kilcoole, County Wicklow
Just a short drive south of Dublin lies County Wicklow, often called the 'Garden of Ireland' for its breathtaking landscapes shaped by jagged mountains, tranquil lakes, and historic ruins. The Wicklow Mountains & Wicklow Wolf Craft Beer Experience is a private, nine-hour journey that perfectly blends outdoor adventure, cultural exploration, and local flavors into one unforgettable day. This curated tour offers travelers a chance to step beyond the city and immerse themselves in Ireland’s rich heritage and vibrant craft brewing scene. The adventure begins with a comfortable pickup from your Dublin accommodation, immediately whisking you away in a luxury vehicle through scenic countryside to the Wicklow Mountains National Park. Your first stop is Guinness Lake, a stunning glacial lake framed by rolling hills and dense woodland, ideal for soaking up the wild beauty and snapping dramatic photos. Next, the ancient monastic site of Glendalough awaits—a remarkable destination established in the 6th century. Walking the uneven terrain around the Lower and Upper Lakes, you’ll encounter peaceful ruins of early Christian churches and be surrounded by natural rock formations and native flora unique to this verdant region. The tour includes free time to enjoy a leisurely lunch in one of the charming nearby villages, allowing you to sample local fare at your own pace. The final highlight is a visit to Wicklow Wolf Craft Brewery, a standout in the county’s growing craft beer scene. Here, you’ll savor a tasting flight of distinctive beers inspired by Wicklow’s landscapes and traditional brewing techniques. On Saturdays, the experience includes a guided brewery tour offering insight into the artisanship behind each pour. This private tour is tailored to small groups or couples seeking an authentic, personalized taste of Ireland’s countryside and craft culture. As a part of the local outdoor recreation area, this experience stands out by combining iconic natural landmarks with an introduction to local brewing excellence—a mix rarely found in one day. It’s ideal for travelers who want more than a typical sightseeing trip, craving hands-on connection with history, nature, and community craftsmanship. Whether it’s your first time in Ireland or a return visit, this excursion encapsulates the spirit of Wicklow with intimate moments among dramatic landscapes and a true taste of Irish hospitality. Prepare for some moderate walking on sometimes uneven ground, and bring weather-ready clothing to fully enjoy all aspects of the tour. The Wicklow Mountains & Wicklow Wolf Craft Beer Experience is a gateway to Ireland’s scenic heartland and a refreshing exploration of its modern brewing innovation.
