There's loads of new experiences heading to the Iveagh Gardens for the next few days that you won't want to miss out on.
We've picked out some of our favourite ones - but you can find the full list of
personalities and
activities here.
The Neff Taste Kitchen
It’s the biggest demo stage ever built at Taste of Dublin and this state-of-the-art arena is where you will see a very special line-up of celebrity chefs, including GBBO's Candice Brown, Masterchef judge Robin Gill and Aoife Noonan of Glovers Alley.
The chefs will showcase their amazing skills and chat through their recipes and tips at the new Neff Taste Kitchen hosted by Marcus O’Laoire.
The Roe & Co Tram 21
Visitors can relive the glamour of Dublin’s past while enjoying contemporary Irish whiskey cocktails aboard the specially crafted Roe & Co Tram 21. This unique and unforgettable experience will also include Roe & Co cocktail masterclasses hosted by a World Class bartender on the super stylish rooftop
Chocolate and Coffee Masterclasses
Love coffee? Curious about how to recreate your favourite barista’s latte art? Applegreen will impress at Taste of Dublin with latte art competitions, tastings, workshops and demonstrations - and a chance to test your barista skills with latte art competitions.
Chocolate in any form is great, but melted chocolate is mesmerising and how it’s made and formed fascinates both young and old. Lindt will have a brand new feature stand where you can both immerse yourself in chocolate demonstrations and sample some of your favourite chocolates.
