House of Guinness Festive Afternoon Tea at Luttrellstown Castle
A celebration inspired by the castle's storied past
Luttrellstown Castle comes alive in December. Outside, frost dusts the ancient stone walls and the estate glows under the soft winter light. Inside, fires crackle in grand hearths, the scent of pine and spice drifts through the air, and laughter echoes softly through candlelit corridors. It’s here, within these storied walls, that guests are invited to slow down, savour the season, and experience a festive tradition unlike any other, the House of Guinness Festive Afternoon Tea.
A Tribute to the Guinness Legacy
This winter, Luttrellstown Castle honours one of its most distinguished families, the Guinness family, whose legacy of sophistication and spirited celebration once filled these very halls. From the elegant Van Stry Ballroom, look out across panoramic views of the estate while enjoying a festive menu inspired by the Guinness family’s love of fine food, laughter, and life’s grand occasions.
Each detail of the afternoon, from the delicate pastries and Guinness-infused treats to the sparkling décor and warm hospitality, is designed to capture the essence of a bygone era.
A Festive Feast for the Senses
Indulge in a seasonal take on a centuries-old tradition. Guests will enjoy a sumptuous spread of handcrafted savoury bites, freshly baked scones, and exquisite desserts, each one infused with festive flavours and a touch of Guinness-inspired creativity.
For an extra sparkle to your afternoon, choose our Champagne Afternoon Tea, the perfect accompaniment to a fireside toast and festive cheer.
