Irish Whiskey Tasting in Dublin — The Ultimate Team Experience
A whiskey tasting experience in Dublin costs €25–100 per person depending on the format, from guided flights at €25/person to premium blending workshops with take-home bottles at €65/person. Dublin is the birthplace of Irish whiskey, and the city now has three world-class distilleries — Jameson, Teeling, and Roe & Co — each offering a distinct experience for corporate teams. This guide compares all three so you can choose the right one for your group.
Jameson Bow St — The Heritage Experience
Jameson Bow St. in Smithfield is the most recognised whiskey brand in the world, and their flagship experience centre matches the reputation. The guided tour walks through 200 years of distilling history, original copper pot stills, and the famous triple-distillation process that defines Irish whiskey. Corporate groups get access to private tasting rooms where a whiskey ambassador guides a comparative tasting of Jameson Original, Black Barrel, and Crested.
The premium “Bow St. Experience” takes teams into the maturation warehouse where you taste directly from the cask. For groups wanting the full immersion, a whiskey and food pairing dinner can be arranged in the distillery's event spaces.
Best for: International teams who recognise the Jameson brand. The heritage factor adds weight to client entertainment events. Located in Smithfield, walkable to other evening venues.
Teeling Distillery — Dublin's Craft Pioneer
Teeling Distillery in the Liberties was the first new distillery to open in Dublin in over 125 years. It represents the craft movement in Irish whiskey — small-batch production, experimental cask finishes, and a hands-on approach. For corporate teams, the highlight is the blending workshop: each participant receives three base whiskeys (single grain, single malt, and single pot still) and creates their own unique blend under the guidance of a master blender.
Every person labels their bottle with a custom name and takes it home — it is the single best corporate keepsake in Dublin. The distillery also offers a rooftop bar with views over the Liberties, perfect for post-workshop drinks.
Best for: Teams wanting a hands-on, interactive experience. The blending workshop is the most popular corporate whiskey activity in Dublin. Combine with a cocktail workshop for a full spirits afternoon.
Roe & Co — The Modern Distillery
Roe & Co is Dublin's newest distillery experience, housed in a stunning converted power station in the Liberties. The approach is modern and cocktail-forward: rather than a traditional tasting, teams learn to make whiskey cocktails using Roe & Co blended whiskey, with a professional bartender guiding the session. The venue itself is architecturally impressive — industrial chic with exposed brick, copper accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
For larger corporate events, Roe & Co offers exclusive-hire of the Power House Bar, accommodating up to 150 guests for receptions. The combination of whiskey education, cocktail making, and a stunning venue makes it ideal for client entertainment.

Pricing & What Is Included
All three distilleries offer corporate group rates for 15+ people, typically 10–15% below individual ticket prices. Standard packages include the guided tour, tasting flight (3–5 whiskeys), and a welcome drink. Premium packages add food pairing, private rooms, and extended tastings.
For the blending workshop at Teeling, the €65/person price includes all materials, the guided blending session, a personalised labelled bottle to take home, and access to the rooftop bar afterwards. It is the highest-value option in terms of what participants receive.
All distilleries can arrange catering add-ons — cheese boards, charcuterie, or full dinner service — typically at €25–50/person on top of the tasting price. Book 4–6 weeks ahead for groups over 30.
