What a civilized way to spend time in the Irish countryside - making scones and sipping tea. This half-day excursion offers a private demonstration with Catherine Fulvio (subject to availability), acclaimed chef and proprietor of the Ballyknocken Cookery School, House and Restaurant. After boarding your motorcoach you'll travel south into County Wicklow, whose harmonious landscape of rolling pastureland has earned the area the much-beloved title of "Garden of Ireland." An hour later, you'll arrive at the charming Ballyknocken House and Restaurant, a 4-star bed and breakfast. After your arrival, your host will greet you and lead you into her kitchen. Following the baking demonstration, you're invited to sit and enjoy freshly baked scones served with homemade jam and coffee or a "cupan tae." Before returning to your coach, you can explore the picturesque herb garden and stroll around the Victorian farmhouse capturing pictures to show back home.
