Irish Whiskey Rail Trail tour

Check in at Cóbh Railway Station adjacent to the cruise terminal with our representatives in bright yellow jackets at 09:20H.

Please note train departure time may vary depending on cruise ship schedule.

Your day begins with a relaxed arrival into Midleton, where the tour will pull into Midleton Train Station at 10:38 a.m. From there, a comfortable transfer will bring you straight to the Midleton Distillery Experience, an inviting start to an immersive and memorable Cork adventure.

At 11:00 a.m., the journey into the world of Irish whiskey begins... You will enjoy a guided tour of the historic Midleton Distillery, learning about time‑honoured craft, tradition, and innovation. The experience concludes around 12:30–12:40 p.m. with a curated tasting and a signature drink, offering the perfect moment to savour the flavours that make this distillery world‑renowned.
After the tour, you can browse the distillery’s beautiful retail shop or unwind over lunch in the on‑site café at their leisure. This unhurried break is the ideal opportunity to soak in the atmosphere and pick up a few treats or souvenirs. You can have your lunch there as well. At 2:00 p.m., we depart Midleton and make our way toward the scenic harbour town of Cobh. Along the route, there will be two short but meaningful stops: a visit to Cobh Cemetery, followed by a brief visit to the magnificent Cobh Cathedral, each offering its own moment of reflection and discovery.

The day’s journey concludes with a 3:00 p.m. arrival at Cobh Port, where you can continue exploring, embark on the next stage of your trip, or simply take in the stunning waterfront views.
