Westport Food Tour

As the tour winds through the charming streets and hidden alleyways of Westport, guests are introduced to some of the town’s finest independent shops, cafés, and restaurants—places celebrated not just for their quality, but for the passionate people behind them.

One stop includes a visit with Graham, a fourth-generation award-winning gelato maker affectionately known as Westport’s answer to Willy Wonka. Using fresh, local ingredients, Graham crafts his gelato daily, with flavours that reflect the seasons—think summer strawberry, Halloween pumpkin, or festive Christmas pudding.

And that’s just the beginning. With eight stops along the way, the tour offers a delicious opportunity to meet the makers and bakers, chefs and chocolatiers, shopkeepers and charcutiers—all while tasting their handcrafted delights and hearing the stories that make Westport one of Ireland’s top culinary destinations.

The Westport Food Tour champions local producers and embraces sustainable practices, guided by the Leave No Trace philosophy. Every bite sampled on the tour is sourced locally from within County Mayo, with a strong focus on reducing waste and minimising packaging.

As part of the tour, guests also visit PAX Wholefoods & Eco Store—a hub for sustainable living—where they’ll gain insight into the importance of mindful shopping, recycling, and waste reduction in the community.

Suitable for families, solo travelers, groups, and locals.
