Daily Tours

The Slane Food Circle 1 1/hr guided daily tour introduces you to the producers and farmers of the Slane Food Circle

This Ireland’s Ancient East Food Tour offer visitors the opportunity to meet like-minded artisan producers on their farms and in their work places to understand what living on and from the land means to them and their families.

Through the Slane Food Circle, visitors get to meet modern pioneering food producers who draw a direct and clear line between the story, heritage, land, food and farming methods used in Slane and the Boyne Valley from the stone age, more than 5,000 years ago, to the present day.

Tours run from 2pm to 3.30pm (1 ½ hours) each day from March to the end of October.

Tour Schedule

Organic Farm Food Tours run every day except for Sunday. Cider Mill Tours run on Fridays and Sundays, and Meet the Cheesemaker Tours run on Wednesdays.
