If you’re looking for a fun and different way to meet up with your mates this festive season, then this series of crafty festive workshops will be of interest to you. And they take place in a whiskey distillery, no less.
The Roe & Co whiskey distillery in Dublin 8 is set to open its doors for a series of seriously festive workshops. If this is your first time hearing about the brand, Roe & Co is made from the finest hand-selected stocks of Irish malt and grain whiskeys and aged in bourbon casks. It has a signature smoothness of Irish Whiskey and remarkable depth of flavour including Vanilla, Toffee and spiced orchard fruits from its bourbon cask blend.
For €25 (the same price as a tour itself), you’ll get to take part in one of these seriously fun workshops, enjoy two cocktails and get a free tour of the distillery. That’s quite good value for money if you ask me…
The workshops will bring some of Ireland’s most impressive creatives together to get super crafty and inventive.
The series of events kicks off on Sunday, December 8 with a wreath-making workshop (how festive, right?) hosted by The Garden at Powerscourt Townhouse.
If you’re looking to flex your green finger, this is the ideal workshop for you. Award-winning landscape artist Mark Grehan will be on hand to help you create the most beautiful Christmas wreath.
Mark will take inspiration from the vanilla and spiced orchard fruits flavours of the bourbon cask blend and assist you with your own modern festive wreaths that you’ll be proud to hang at home.
Then on Tuesday, December 10, Roe & Co will team up with the gals from Sustainable Fashion Dublin for a fabulous upcycling and mending workshop.
In an intimate gathering, you’ll have the chance to learn all about the importance of sustainable fashion and how to extend the lifespan of the clothes you already own.

You’ll become an expert at perfectly assembling delicious treats that will make your centrepiece just dreamy.
