Discover a New Era of Wine Pairing at The Oak Room at Adare Manor

At The Oak Room, dining has always been about more than exceptional food. It is about atmosphere, craftsmanship, storytelling, and creating moments that stay with guests long after the final course. Now, the Michelin-starred restaurant at Adare Manor has unveiled a new wine pairing programme designed to elevate that experience even further.

Curated with imagination, elegance, and a sense of discovery, the new wine pairings invite guests to explore some of the world’s most exciting wine regions while perfectly complementing the seasonal tasting menu created by Executive Head Chef Mike Tweedie.

Michelin-Starred Dining in Ireland, Reimagined

Since earning Limerick’s first Michelin star in 2019, The Oak Room has become one of Ireland’s most celebrated fine dining destinations. Under the leadership of Mike Tweedie, the restaurant has earned acclaim for its ingredient-led philosophy, refined cooking, and deep connection to Irish producers.

“A really good protein, cooked perfectly, with a sauce and a little garnish, that’s my food.”

Chef Tweedie’s philosophy pairs seamlessly with the restaurant’s new wine programme. Rather than overpowering the dishes, the pairings have been developed to enhance the flavours, textures, and seasonality at the heart of The Oak Room experience.
