A Taste of West Cork Food Festival is an annual, ten day September event that celebrates not only West Cork’s unique food culture, but also Ireland and its cuisine. The West Cork food festival usually runs between September 6th-15th and is a culinary adventure through the backdrop of 41 local towns, villages and 8 islands; stretching as from the sandy beaches of Inchydoney, to the splintered landscape of the Beara peninsula and even reaching as far out into the wild Atlantic Ocean through the islands off Roaringwater Bay.
While West Cork’s rich bounty is available to enjoy all year round, the festival itself – created by local people – treats visitors to more than 250 events. By visiting during the festival, you’ll dive right into the heart of what West Cork and its culture is all about. Through face to face encounters with pioneering culinary experts and organic farmers, you’ll learn first hand how and where your food is prepared. You’ll also enjoy food in many different ways from fresh seafood and market stalls and rare opportunities to experience food, crafted by world renowned guest chefs, in unique venues from stately homes and castles to distilleries that open exclusively for the festival.
