We had a visit recently to Ballymaloe from Giacomo Alarai, of Cantine Leonarda da Vinci, Vinci, Tuscany, Italy, with Gerry Gunnigan, Liberty Wines Ireland.
It was lovely to welcome Giacomo to Ballymaloe, and we took the opportunity to show him the artisan coffee roaster, based at Ballymaloe, Marc Kingston of The Golden Bean – Marc does his roasting in ‘An Tigin Beag’, which is beside The Grain Store and his coffee can be found at Co.Cork Farmers Markets.
