Overview
The rich, fertile grounds of the Slieve Aughty mountains are wonderful grazing grounds for Galway’s grass-fed cows, so it is no surprise that their milk makes exceptional cheese. See this for yourself on Teresa’s family farm, where you will learn about the cheesemaking process, how the cheese is matured, and just how they get it to taste so good.
- Tour the farm at Kylemore House; you might even get to meet their cows
- Your host Teresa is a trained cheesemaker, who will share some trade secrets
- Enjoy a sample of house-made Appenzeller (a nutty, Alpine-style cheese)
- At the end of your tour relax with a glass of wine around the farmhouse fire

Artisan Cheese Making

Best Day In Ireland!

, May 2019
Three of my friends and I (all in our 30's) decided to book this trip as we love cheese and had a few extra hours before the airport, we had no idea that we were in for the most fun part of our trip. We went to the farm and Teresa could not have made us feel more welcome. We got into boots, fed the baby cows and were even lucky enough to see a calf be born! We were able to experience first hand seeing what happens after the calf is born, milking cows, drinking fresh milk, feeding babies and playing in the field with some of the older one year old cows. After the experience with the animals, we moved into the cheese area to understand how the cheese in made and then inside to eat it! It was not just a couple of pieces of cheese to try while you stand around as we expected, we sat at the beautiful table in the farmhouse, drank tea, chatted and ate a lot of cheese and other goodies. I wish there was a way to upload some pictures from our amazing day. We highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to get out of the city for a few hours, and experience real farm life in Ireland. This would also be a great trip with kids.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
