Longueville House to host their annual Orchard Blossom Walk, Talk & Cider Tasting on May 19

To coincide with the blossoming of the apple trees in their extensive orchards, Longueville House annually marks this special occasion by hosting an Orchard Blossom walk and talk, followed by a tour of the cider house and on-site distillery.

With the guidance of William O’Callaghan (owner), you will discover the pleasure of this exciting process here at Longueville House where all is grown and made on site.

Afterwards, weather dependent, William and his team will prepare a special lunch which includes what’s in season and best available from our Walled Kitchen Garden and Estate. Weather permitting this will incorporate a free-range hog roast centre point to luncheon washed down with lashings of Longueville House Cider. A fun and educational day for all concerned.
