About

Galway Food Tours was founded by Sheena Dignam, originally from Wicklow but raised in the Loire Valley, France. Sheena has a background in Culinary Arts (BTS en Arts Culinaires de la Table) and chose a career in food, which has shaped her journey. After moving back to Ireland, Sheena worked with various restaurant start-ups before transitioning into the world of chocolate. Eventually, she settled in Galway, where she recognized the opportunity to collaborate with local producers and business owners to create food tours.

Initially, her mission was to change the perceptions of her French friends about Irish cuisine, highlighting the rich and diverse food culture in Ireland. Through these tours, Sheena aims to showcase the exceptional food and drink produced in the region, connecting visitors with the passion and craft behind local specialties.
