A private day across southern Ireland: Jameson at Midleton, the Rock of Cashel, and Cobh’s Titanic harbor.
This is a full-day private drive to County Cork and its surrounds: guided, door-to-door travel in a luxury vehicle south from Dublin to the limestone silhouette of the Rock of Cashel, the working warehouses and tasting rooms of Midleton Distillery, and the steep, colorful streets and waterfront of Cobh. The itinerary folds history, coastal atmosphere and a formal whiskey tasting into a single, guided day.

Rock of Cashel — a centuries-old hilltop citadel
A brief photo stop at the Rock of Cashel introduces Ireland’s medieval past: perched on a limestone hill, its ancient fortifications, round tower and medieval ruins speak to a site with origins stretching back many centuries.
Midleton Distillery — guided tour and tasting
At Midleton guests join the public distillery experience to tour original buildings and warehouses, then sample three well-known Irish whiskeys produced onsite; optional upgrades are available for deeper, behind-the-scenes experiences.
Cobh — seafront, Titanic connections and free time
Cobh provides a relaxed afternoon: visitors have free time for lunch, museum visits such as the Titanic Experience, and walks along the harbor and steep streets culminating at St. Colman’s Cathedral.
