Waterford ‘Taste Tour’
Waterford’s food producers, sustainable farmers and food foragers have collaborated to offer visits and a chance to enjoy access to food producer locations and farms and enjoy some local produce under the backdrop of the county’s Comeragh Mountain range on a “Taste Waterford Mountain Splendour Tour”.
Richard Povey, Taste Waterford project manager, says:
“Waterford is home to many food growers and market gardens and farms, the landscape is diverse with two mountain ranges, a 147km coastline and the great rivers of the Suir and the Blackwater. These assets create a diverse and thriving food story, and we are delighted to be able to share an authentic insight into our award-winning and sustainable food scene on the Mountain Splendour Taste Tour this summer.”
This summer there will be guided Mountain Splendour Tours on offer on July 19th, August 23rd and September 27th; each tour departs at 10am and returns at 4pm to The Granville Hotel in Waterford City.
Tour guide Johnny Landers will meet tour-goers and offer them a unique insight into the landscape and life on the mountains. Insights into the folklore, heritage of the hills, and the foods that can be lived on from the land will be shared on a foraging trail led by expert forager Andrew Malcolm.
