House of Waterford
Review
House of Waterford is a must-visit experience located in the very heart of Waterford’s historic Viking Triangle. Heritage, craftsmanship and pride run through every part of this remarkable attraction, and from the moment the tour begins, it is clear why this name has become known across the world. Seeing the skill, patience and detail involved in creating crystal of such quality gives visitors a real appreciation of a tradition that dates back to 1783. This is not just a tour however, it is a fascinating insight into one of Ireland’s most celebrated crafts and one not to be missed. The café adds another lovely dimension, with afternoon teas that are beautifully presented and well worth making time for. Then there is the shop, filled with pieces that are both elegant and memorable. With a warm, knowledgeable team bringing the story to life, this is a truly special Waterford experience.
