What you will visit:

Ballyknocken Cookery School, House and Restaurant
TV chef and award-winning food writer Catherine Fulvio welcomes you to the Ballyknocken Cookery School, House and Restaurant, a charming, four-star bed and breakfast. Chef Catherine is a regular contributor to Irish Garden magazine and has been featured in Saveur magazine and on NBC's "The Today Show." You'll be led into her kitchen to discover how simple ingredients can create the perfect teatime delicacy called a scone. As a remembrance of your visit, the scone recipe is yours to take home.

What you will see along the way:
On this hour's journey south into County Wicklow, relax as Dublin's cityscapes slowly meld into the idyllic countryside. Some 15,000 years ago, the area drifting past your window was completely covered by thick glaciers. Today, this former ice land is a harmonious landscape of rolling pastureland, lush forests and mist-shrouded mountains, proving that it deserves the much-beloved title as the "Garden of Ireland." As you further make your way into the country's interior, the Wicklow Mountains will be your constant companion.

Snacks:
Following the baking demonstration, you're invited to sit and enjoy freshly baked scones served with homemade jam and coffee or a "cupan tae." After your relaxing tea, you can explore the picturesque herb garden.

Special Notes:
