CEO Ireland Voyage

Experience the Guinness Storehouse and the history, heart, and soul of Ireland’s most iconic beer. Located in the heart of St. James’s Gate, the Guinness Storehouse building was once the fermentation plant of the brewery. You and your fellow CEOs will experience Guinness like nowhere else with a private self-guided tour and private connoisseur tasting experience.

There is no escaping that Dublin is the tech hub of Europe, as nine of the world's top ten software companies are based there and nine of America's top ten technology companies have offices in the city. We will be hosted for part of the day at Silicon Docks, the hub east of city centre where thousands of tech workers come to offices like Google, Facebook and Twitter. Expect local business speakers, breakouts and hosted lunch.

We’ll be capping off the day with a dazzling private reception event in an iconic space: Trinity College’s Long Library. As you walk about this private room, you will taste, sip and meet invited guests from broader Pavilion across Ireland, and hear from our trip hosts Sam Jacobs and Seamus Ruiz-Earle. Special guests for a fireside chat or two will include local business leaders and government officials.

Hop aboard your private coach for a stunning picturesque trek from Dublin to Galway. Your driver and guide will educate and entertain you with Irish history and quick photo ops stops to stretch your legs along the way. There is a reason Ireland is known for having some of the most famous natural landscapes in the world, and you will have an insider’s peek.

Closer to Galway, discover the rich history of Ashford Castle. Situated in a spectacular 350-acre estate, you will have a chance to explore its lush grounds, and enjoy lunch and roundtable discussions among splendid interiors brimming with antique furniture, fine fabrics and unique features at every turn. The castle and grounds have an array of exciting activities to choose from (see below).

Step back in time with a day trip to the island of Inis Mor. Join the group and board…. (boat or plane) and zip over to the island. Here you will have over 5 hours to explore the island at your leisure. Rent a bike or book a taxi and visit historical monuments such as Dún Aonghasa or visit natural sites such as the puffing hole or seal colony.

Cycle along the river bank or across the estate and take in breath-taking views of Ashford Castle Estate and County Mayo.

Enjoy a picturesque 9-hole, 2996-yard, par 35 parkland course. The course, the original deer park of the estate, was designed by the renowned Irish golf architect Eddie Hackett and imaginatively integrates a wide variety of natural features and hazards to create charming par 3s, exciting par 4s and a formidable par 5.
