2026 IWSA Trip - Whiskey & Hurling - Kilkenny City - June 2026

We're heading to Kilkenny, the birthplace of Irish Whiskey, "Home of Hurling", and Marble City! The medieval small city of Kilkenny will host our group for the first week of June; however, we will also venture out on short road trips. Kilkenny city is surrounded by nearby Counties Tipperary, Waterford, and Carlow within short 15 minute drives. We will explore the culture, sites, and whiskey making in Tipperary and Waterford in addition to Kilkenny. Our itinerary includes several non-whiskey related items as well to fully embrace all that this historic part of Ireland has to offer.  Please send inquiries and questions to Allan Dwyer at allan.dwyer@irishwhiskeysociety.com.
