A Taste of Wexford: Exploring the County’s Food and Drink Scene

Wexford isn’t just a place of rolling countryside, sandy beaches, and scenic villages—it’s also home to one of Ireland’s most vibrant food and drink scenes. With its rich agricultural heritage, thriving coastal communities, and passionate local producers, Wexford offers an experience that’s as flavourful as it is authentic. This is the beginning of a new campaign celebrating everything that makes food and drink in Wexford so special. Over the coming weeks, we’ll dive into the stories behind the produce, the people who grow and make it, and the best places to taste it for yourself.

Thanks to its mild climate and fertile soil, Wexford has long been known for its high-quality produce. Think freshly harvested strawberries in summer, new potatoes, lush vegetables, artisan cheeses, and locally raised meats. Add to that a stunning coastline providing fresh seafood—crab, mussels, and mackerel—and you’ve got a county that feeds both body and soul. Local farmers’ markets, food co-ops, and roadside stalls offer direct access to this abundance. Whether you’re buying honey from a beekeeper in Enniscorthy or foraging for seaweed on the Hook Peninsula, the connection between land, sea, and table is strong here.
