Join Chef John Bishop as he ventures back to his Irish culinary roots. This carefully crafted tour highlights the very best of culinary experiences ranging from traditional pub fare to gastronomic feasts. True to John’s passion, we will be sourcing locally produced foodstuffs and meeting with local farmers along the way.
From the spectacular coast of Northern Ireland to the charming, cobblestoned streets in the South, this two week tour offers the best that Ireland has to offer, including stays at the majestic Ashford Castle, grand country estates, and even a lakeside resort. Watch and listen as we weave together the history, culture and cuisine of John’s beloved Emerald Isle. Those with time on their side and a penchant for wild oysters are invited to join us for an optional 4 night extension to participate in the famous Galway Oyster festival.

John Bishop
Acclaimed Restaurateur, Chef, Cookbook Author
VANCOUVER, BC - British born John Bishop, who has been cooking since his early teens, attended hotel school in Wales and served his apprenticeship at a private London club. After ten years as chef at a restaurant in Kinsale, County Cork, he came to Canada in 1973, where he continued to pursue his culinary career. In 1985 he launched the restaurant that bears his name Bishop’s, located in Vancouver, was an immediate success and continues to garner accolades. The fare at Bishop’s is regional and seasonal. In Chef Bishop’s view, it makes sense to showcase British Columbia’s lush bounty of seafood, organic produce and meats. His exquisite West Side restaurant blends classic and modern flavours with a casual elegance that keeps clients coming back for a truly exceptional dining experience.
