If you are over in Wexford, book a tour of Tara Hill Honey Farm to get a real understanding of how much work goes into producing real honeys.
Taste the different honey and don’t leave without a pot of thick delicious rare heather honey.
It’s not heated, it's coarse-filtered and still has all the pollen inside.
Bean and Goose, luxury hand-crafted chocolate near Gorey also do tours and tastings at their facility.
Loved their Toasted Soda Bread chocolate bar, one of the many pretty irresistible flavours.
