What a pleasure it was to welcome Ireland with Michael 🎬 and the Ireland with Michael team to Mount Congreve Gardens yesterday.

With cameras rolling under blue skies, Michael explored the house, gardens, estate and stories that make Mount Congreve one of the great gardens of the world. It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase this special place to PBS viewers across the United States and to share a little of what makes Waterford so unique.

A huge thank you to Michael Londra and his fantastic crew for spending the afternoon with us and to Tourism Ireland for the opportunity. We can't wait to see Mount Congreve featured in Season 8 and look forward to welcoming many more visitors inspired by their journey through Ireland. In the meantime, you can watch a previous episode where Michael visited Waterford Treasures

Safe travels, Michael, and we'll be watching from Waterford!

350 metres. One garden. One very good risotto. 🥕

The Estate Carrot Risotto has officially landed on the Stables Café specials menu where some of the ingredients travel less distance than most people do from the car park.

Roast baby rainbow carrots, carrot top pesto, smoked Knockanore cheese, salsa verde & crisp carrot skins folded through creamy Arborio rice… all inspired by the gardens surrounding you.

From the Walled Garden to your fork in just 350 metres.
