Norman Meath Meet the Maker Tours

Norman Meath Meet the Maker Tours

The Norman Meath Meet the Maker Tours combine the county’s medieval Norman heritage with visits to some of Meath’s most skilled food producers. After exploring Norman castles, monastic sites and historic market towns, visitors meet local makers who continue long-standing traditions of craft and food production.

Guests step inside working apiaries to learn about beekeeping, taste small-batch ciders from Meath orchards, sample artisan cheeses made using traditional methods and discover how apple brandy is distilled using techniques rooted in historic craft practices. The tours create a rich, sensory experience that connects Norman-era food culture with today’s vibrant community of Meath producers.

Locations include: a distillery in Drogheda, a beekeeper in Kilmessan, Boyne Valley cheese in Rathkenny and a brewery in Slane.
