The Experience
The Guinness Storehouse Connoisseur Experience offers a more detailed and intimate way to enjoy Ireland’s best-known stout.
Set within St. James’s Gate, this guided tasting brings you into a private space where a beer specialist shares knowledge and pours each brew with purpose.
In a small group, you will sample different Guinness expressions. The host will talk you through aroma and flavour, which helps you understand how each version carries its own character. The pace is relaxed, so there is time to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.
A memorable moment comes when you learn to pour your own pint, something many visitors look forward to achieving.
Your ticket also includes admission to the wider Guinness Storehouse experience. You can explore seven floors of brewing history and finish at the Gravity Bar if you choose.
Your experience includes:
- Hosted tasting session with a beer specialist
- Guided sampling of Guinness varieties
- Learn to pour your own pint
- Self-guided Guinness Storehouse tour
The Guinness Storehouse Connoisseur Experience suits people who want to deepen their connection with Guinness rather than simply visit the Storehouse.
Taste and enjoy Ireland’s most famous stout in its true home!
