County Wicklow -
neven's irish food trails

Neven's first destination tonight is the spectacular Powerscourt Estate in Co. Wicklow where he meets Pamela Walsh and Brett Stephenson of Wicklow Way Wines, Ireland's first fruit wine producers. He continues on to the winery to discover how Irish strawberries, blackberries and wild elderberries are used to create an innovative and uniquely Irish wine. Then Neven ventures into the great outdoors in Kilkenny and joins mushroom expert Bill O'Dea on a woodland foraging trip in the Castlecomer Discovery Park. Bill shows Neven his tips for finding a treasure trove of flavoursome wild mushrooms. Neven's final stop is County Longford and the Viewmount Hotel. Head Chef Gary O'Hanlon describes his style of cooking as "Irish ingredients with elegance" and teaches Neven how to make a dish using Finnebrogue venison. On board the Shannon Princess, Neven prepares Vegetable Curry with Fragrant Rice.
