Your day will begin in the foyer of our hotel, where you will meet with your experience ambassador at 9am. They will contextualise the artisans you will be meeting and where they sit within the tradition before you set off on your luxurious adventure.

The Goldsmith and Jewellery Designer

Spend a morning with world-renowned master goldsmith, Nigel O’Reilly. Defined by the blending of ancient and modern jewellery techniques in his own inimitable style, see how O’Reilly pushes the limits of creativity and scale to produce jewellery of stunning perfection. After meeting and learning the inspiration behind O'Reilly's mesmerising creations, watch his craft come to life as he sets rare gemstones in his current creation. Try your hand at the bench under the master’s guiding eye and immerse yourself in the ancient craft of goldsmithing.

A Taste of The West of Ireland

After your morning with O'Reilly, enjoy a private lunch of local epicurean delights inspired by the Mayo coast and hillsides. Every country has its own culinary interpretation of the craft of cooking, and this chapter of your Irish adventure allows you to discover the story of the West of Ireland’s food culture and its local artisan food. Expect wonderful and authentic ingredients, treated with respect and cooked simply.

The Gin Distiller

The final portion of your day provides the perfect wind-down. With the assistance and expertise of a local Gin Distiller, pick wild botanicals and explore their flavours, aromas, and history. Return to the micro-distillery where you will infuse and distil your own unique bottle of gin. Distilling spirits has been part of the fabric of the West of Ireland for centuries and provides the perfect take-home or gift for a loved one.
