This amazing hour-long one-woman theatrical performance fuses interactive wine-tasting with storytelling, in the warm intimate setting of the Dawros Bay House, a stone’s throw from the Santa Ana Duguesa wreck, from the Spanish Armada. Wine & Drinks consultant, artist and historian, Susan Boyle, will take you on a journey of the best know wines and spirits in the world, that all have an Irish Heritage!
Susan Boyle loves wine! What’s more she knows what she’s drinking and talking about and she’s got 2,000 years of Irish wine history to back her up! So, sit back, let her pour you a glass while she takes you on a trip with the tenacious Irish people who transformed the wine world and didn’t let coming from a grape-free land stop them!
Joe Molloy and family, who own and run the Dawros Bay House, are providing a delicious and specially adapted Wild Atlantic Tapas Menu, to coincide with the theme of the evening. (The show costs only €20 and the option of the food is separate).
Audience members will have the opportunity to put their senses to use and hopefully leave with a new insight to the Spanish Armada and a drink that has been part of Ireland’s history or much longer than we might think - Wine. (You get to taste almost all the wines that Susan's stories are based on!!)
Susan has a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies from Trinity College Dublin and is an Irvine scholarship recipient to the University of California. She continued her drama studies at the University of London Royal Holloway where she gained an MA in Performance Studies. She has been attending professional wine tastings for the past 15 years, has studied up to advanced level with WSET (The International Wine & Spirit Education Trust) and also works as a freelance wine and drinks consultant! Susan is also one of Failte Ireland's Food Champions.
