Pass through the city of Dublin on a panoramic drive. Watch for the Old Parliament House, which is now the Bank of Ireland. You will also spot Trinity College, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I.
You're here to visit the Guinness Storehouse Museum, located in the heart of Dublin, for a self-guided tour. As you make your way through the Storehouse, you'll come to understand the dramatic Guinness story, which began more than 250 years ago. It's often surprising and always entertaining. Discover what goes into making the "black stuff" -- the ingredients, the process, the passion. You'll "meet" Arthur Guinness and find out how the drink that carries his name has traveled around the world. Spend some time in the Advertising Gallery in the Storehouse, where you will find a display of all Guinness advertising material past and present.
Now, it's your turn to become an expert as you indulge in the private Guinness Connoisseur Experience. You'll learn how to pull the perfect pint -- the best way to hold the glass, how to
control the speed the beer enters the glass, the time required for the pint to settle, and the final touch that gives the pint a creamy head. You will also participate in an exclusive tasting session in Guinness's luxury Connoisseur Bar. Expert, enthusiastic staff teach you all about the characteristics of an iconic brand and delve deep into the heart of the black stuff. Then, sit back, relax and enjoy the Guinness and the stupendous view of Dublin.
Don't miss shopping for souvenirs in the Guinness merchandise store before you return to the port of Dún Laoghaire.
