Extraordinary. Displays are tastefully done and well maintained. Very educational. The attendants are well informed and very pleasant. Seeing the Lagan family represented in such an esteemed way was awesome. Very proud of my husbands Irish family and knowing that they have left such an indelible mark on not only Ireland but the wine industry worldwide. Thank you Desmond Castle for a very memorable visit. read more
