Unique gourmet experience - Taste of Cork @ Holy Smoke

A SIX-COURSE FEAST OF PIT-SMOKED BBQ PAIRED WITH IRISH CRAFT BEER TASTING

Recommended by Taste Cork, Failte Ireland, and Ireland’s Ancient East.

Embark on a unique gourmet journey and experience the best of Irish BBQ cuisine, prepared with the local meat that is cooked in Holy Smoke’s signature barbecue-style, low-n-slow, for four to sixteen hours. The BBQ dishes are then paired with a carefully chosen selection of beers from Cork’s microbreweries. 

Our Pitmaster John Relihan will serve up an exquisite six-course meal of signature dishes and with each dish you will uncover the secrets behind the art of pit-smoked BBQ. 

Food and beer expert Caroline Hennessy will walk you through the process behind the craft of beer brewing and share expert pairing techniques. 

Holy Smoke is housed in the original Woodford Bourne Cellars est. 1875, which at one time would carry over 50,000 gallons of choice Cork and Dublin whiskeys, French Cognac, Jamaican Rum, and casks of wines, sherries, and ports, making it a perfect historic destination for this authentic gourmet experience.
