Booked a full day tour with Gabriel. He drove us all around the island and showed all sorts of interesting spots to us with corresponding history. The farm was lovely and we got to meet the goats and taste the cheese (spectacular). Very kind gentleman and highly knowledgeable about his home island.
We visited the Aran Islands Goats Cheese farm while we were in Ireland, and it was a great tour! The owner Gabriel was a very good tour guide, and the goat cheese was so delicious! The goats are so cute, and they have many things for sale on the farm too including some delicious chocolate, salad dressing and chutney. I highly recommend a visit to this goat farm.
Had a great fun last week encountering the well-minded goats and got an informative tour of the cheese making facility from our gracious host Gabriel. This enterprise is well worth visiting as part of any trip to the island. Children and adults alike will enjoy their visit. The cheese tastes great and he has some super regionally sourced artisan Galway honey, Galway vinegar and Achill salt on offer too!
This was by far one of the highlights of my visit to this beautiful Island. The goats cheese was absolutely delicious, far beyond the quality of many other places. It is very reasonably priced, and being able to pat the goats rounded out a very wonderful experience here
Great shop. Lots of artisan products from all around Galway. You can see the goats being milked and cheese being made. Highly recommend for families.
