For a taste of authenticity, come and savour the sights, sounds and aromas of the only smoke house in Ireland where salmon are hung for smoking. We are now offering daily public tours, which you can book in advance online, and private tours by appointment.

The experience starts the moment you arrive in the yard, where, more often than not, you’ll be greeted by the earthy sweet aroma of beech wood smoke – ours is a working smoke house, running for over 40 years, supplying markets in Cork, restaurants throughout Europe, corporate and private customers around the world

During the tours, you’ll gain insights to the time-honoured process that produces genuine, handmade, smoked fish, and understand what makes it so different to all other smoked seafood that you’ve ever tasted. You will of course have the opportunity to taste and savour as we go and when we’ve finished the tour you can linger to enjoy our smoked food in the Tasting Room and courtyard, or we can pack a picnic for you to enjoy somewhere else, like the neighbouring arboretum at Fota.
