Make the most of the Armagh Food and Cider Festival with an incredible six hour experience sampling some of the most fantastic and flavoursome local produce that the county has to offer.
Meet the faces behind the brands, on a guided, luxury coach tour of the Borough.
Your journey starts with a visit to On The Hoof, near Hamiltonsbawn for morning coffee followed by a stop at Salt Kitchen, Banbridge for an Irish Tapas menu coupled with local ciders from Armagh Cider Company.
Having enjoyed Madden’s Mellow and Carson’s Crisp with your meal, guests will then drive to Armagh Cider Company at Ballinteggart farm.
