We are delighted to share some wonderful news: Viking Irish Drinks has been featured in an article by Jean Smullen in Chef & Restaurant Magazine, highlighting the growing story of Irish Wine.
Ireland may not yet be the first country that comes to mind when people think of wine, but that is steadily changing. Across the country, passionate growers and producers are working with the land, the climate, and the seasons to craft wines that reflect a distinctly Irish sense of place. It’s an exciting time for the development of vineyards here, and we are honoured to be part of that conversation.
Ireland’s Emerging Vineyards
In her article, Jean celebrates several Irish vineyards and the people behind them, shining a light on the dedication, patience, and craftsmanship required to grow grapes in this climate.
At Viking Irish Drinks, our approach is rooted firmly in the land. On our farm in East Waterford, we grow our own grapes for wine and carefully tend our orchards of cider apples. Everything we produce is crafted with the same guiding philosophy: respect for nature and a commitment to authenticity.
Our farm is certified organic, meaning we work without synthetic sprays or shortcuts. Each bottle reflects the time, care, and patience that goes into nurturing the fruit from the vine or tree to the glass.
Reaching Michelin-Starred Restaurants
What makes this feature particularly special is the audience it reaches. Chef & Restaurant Magazine is distributed to Michelin-starred restaurants across the UK and Ireland, placing Ireland’s vineyards in front of some of the most respected chefs and sommeliers in the industry.
To be included among such excellent company is a real honour, and we’re proud to see Irish wine gaining recognition at this level.
