You’ll be expected to get on your bike or don walking shoes to visit the artisan food producers located along the trail. The highlight of the week’s activities will be head chef Ollie O’Regan’s Gourmet Greenway Graze, a six-course tasting dinner in the hotel on Thursday, April 18th.

The full package, five days B&B and four dinners, costs ¤329 per person sharing, or you can book the tasting dinner for ¤75 (¤125 including accommodation). See
