2027 BADGER IRELAND TOUR

Our 2027 BADGER IRELAND TOUR combines two of our favorite things:

whiskey + Wisconsin football! Leading up to the 2027 Badger season opener in Dublin, we will explore the lively Irish capital, along with Galway, the Aran Islands, the Cliffs of Moher, Killarney, the Ring of Kerry, and the Dingle Peninsula. With a focus on whiskey, food, and Irish culture, we will discover the rugged landscapes, traditional seaside villages, and unmatched hospitality that Ireland is famous for.

During the tour, we will take in picturesque mountain ranges, breathtaking waterfalls, and dramatic coastlines. We will spend time with proud locals, experience the celebrated pub culture, and enjoy the country's vibrant music scene. Join us for an unforgettable adventure on the Emerald Isle before you cheer on the Badgers!

CULTURAL HIGHLIGHTS of the trip include a private walking tour of Dublin, a pony & trap tour of the Aran Islands, and a visit to Ireland's oldest pub.

WHISKEY HIGHLIGHTS include behind-the-scenes tours and premium tasting experiences at Tullamore D.E.W., Dingle Distillery, and Midleton Distillery, producer of the world-famous Jameson whiskey line.

CULINARY HIGHLIGHTS include multi-course meals in award-winning restaurants, including a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant in Dublin, a top-rated tasting tour of Galway, and an afternoon in the renowned "Foodie Town" of Dingle.
