“A short but informative tour highly relevant to the history of Ireland, Kinsale, and surprisingly, wine.”

Right up the street from our B&B, this was a great little museum outlining some of the history of Kinsale, as well as the history of the wine trade from Ireland to France and beyond. Our first stop of the day, just an hour or so to look around and get a guided tour. Worth the stop and inexpensive. more
