About
From the streets of Galway to the heart of Kilkenny, our journey is built on a love for Irish food, community, and connection, especially about Kilkenny food tours.
Having toured the west coast for over two years, we're excited to bring our tours to the vibrant city of Kilkenny. This jewel of the southeast has a rich history in food and brewing, and the fantastic local suppliers truly bring together an exciting food scene. Joining us in Kilkenny, you will discover more about Kilkenny food tours and their unique offerings.
Galway Food Tours was founded by Sheena Dignam, originally from Wicklow but raised in the Loire Valley, France. Sheena has a background in Culinary Arts (BTS en Arts Culinaires de la Table) and chose a career in food, which has shaped her journey. After moving back to Ireland, Sheena worked with various restaurant start-ups before transitioning into the world of chocolate. Eventually, she settled in Galway, where she recognised the opportunity to collaborate with local producers and business owners to create food tours focused on the local specialties.
Initially, her mission was to change the perceptions of her French friends about Irish cuisine, highlighting the rich and diverse food culture in Ireland. Through these tours, Sheena aims to showcase the exceptional food and drink produced in the region, connecting visitors with the passion and craft behind local specialties found in Kilkenny food tours.
Now Galway Food Tours is an international multi award winning culinary walking tour of Galway city and beyond. We have been providing food tour experiences to our guests from all over the world for over 10 years. Experience the same excellence in Kilkenny as you learn about Kilkenny food tours and enjoy the local delights.
