Tourism Ireland is teaming up with celebrity chef Donal Skehan, to create a new food travelogue series, which will air on PBS in the United States later this year.
Working with Inproduction TV, Tourism Ireland is co-funding the production of an eight-part TV series, all about an ‘active foodie’ holiday in Ireland. Viewers will see Donal work up an appetite by hiking, kayaking and cycling his way around Ireland – before stopping off at various food trucks, gastropubs and restaurants to meet with young chefs, baristas, chocolatiers and local food producers.
Through this new series with Donal Skehan, Tourism Ireland aims to connect with a young and active audience – reminding them about some of the many great reasons to visit, when the time is right.
Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland’s Head of North America, said: “We are delighted to work with celebrity chef Donal Skehan and Inproduction TV, to create this exciting new food travelogue from around the island of Ireland. Our aim to reach a young and active audience – reminding them about our wonderful culinary offering and spectacular scenery, as well as our fantastic outdoor activities.”
Filming for the eight-part series will take place at various locations right around the island of Ireland. This week, filming is under way in Dingle and around Slea Head – at places like The Fish Box, Murphy’s Ice Cream (featured in main photo), Dingle Distillery, Dick Mack’s and Coumeenoole Beach.
