Step Into Ireland’s Boyne Valley for a Farmhouse Cheese Experience!

Step into the heart of Ireland’s lush Boyne Valley and discover the artistry behind one of the country’s most celebrated farmhouse cheeses—Boyne Valley Blue. Nestled just outside the historic village of Slane, this intimate, family-run creamery opens its doors for a unique behind-the-scenes tour and tasting experience.

Led by award-winning cheesemakers Michael and Jenny Finnegan, your tour begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to the farm’s sustainable ethos and native goats. You’ll follow the journey from pasture to plate, witnessing the meticulous process of turning rich raw goat’s milk into their signature creamy, tangy blue cheese. Learn about the aging and affinage process in the maturing room, and discover the challenges and rewards of artisan cheese production.

Of course, no visit would be complete without a tutored tasting. Enjoy generous samples of Boyne Valley Blue alongside seasonal accompaniments. You’ll leave with a newfound appreciation for Irish artisan cheese and a few expert tips for your next cheeseboard.

Whether you’re a passionate foodie or a curious traveller, this immersive experience offers a true taste of the Boyne Valley’s culinary soul.
