Welcome
At Moravexi, a tasting is not a rushed affair of swirl, sip, and move on. We believe that wine is best understood in context, so each of our experiences takes you through the full journey from vine to glass. You will walk among the rows where our Solaris, Rondo, and Regent grapes grow, hear about the decisions we make in each season, and gain an appreciation for how Ireland's unique maritime climate shapes the character of our wines.
Our tasting room, converted from a 19th-century stone barn, provides a warm and intimate setting where you can take your time with each wine. We pair our tastings with produce from neighbouring farms and artisan food makers in Waterford and Tipperary, ensuring that every element of your visit is rooted in this corner of Ireland.
Whether you are visiting for a birthday celebration, a corporate event, or simply a weekend escape, our team will ensure the experience is personal, informative, and genuinely enjoyable. We welcome beginners and experienced wine lovers alike.
Our Experiences
Each experience is designed to offer a different perspective on Moravexi and Irish winemaking. Browse below and find the one that suits your group.
Our signature experience begins with a guided stroll through the vineyard, where you will learn about the grape varieties we grow, our approach to canopy management, and the specific soil conditions that define our terroir. We will explain how the proximity of the River Suir and the shelter of the Comeragh Mountains create a microclimate that sets our estate apart from much of Ireland.
Back in the tasting room, you will sample five of our current release wines, guided by one of our experienced hosts. Each wine is accompanied by artisan Irish cheese, cured meats, and freshly baked soda bread from a local bakery. You will discover the aromas, flavours, and textures that make each wine unique, and learn how to identify them in your own tastings at home.

This is our most immersive dining experience, held in the candlelit barrel room where our wines rest and mature. Siobhán Callanan, our co-founder and winemaker, personally hosts each evening, guiding you through four courses prepared by a rotating roster of local chefs who share our passion for seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
Each course is paired with a different Moravexi wine, and Siobhán explains the thinking behind each pairing, the story of the vintage, and the winemaking decisions that shaped the final glass. Expect dishes featuring Waterford blaa bread, Knockalara sheep's cheese, Helvick Head fish, and Tipperary lamb. The atmosphere is convivial and unhurried, with no more than sixteen guests per evening.
This experience runs on selected Friday and Saturday evenings from April through October. Due to limited availability, we recommend booking at least four weeks in advance. It makes a memorable occasion for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and corporate entertaining.

Every October, we open the vineyard for a limited number of harvest day participants who want to experience the most exciting moment in the winemaking calendar. This full-day experience begins early in the morning with a welcome coffee and briefing, before you head out into the vines with secateurs in hand to help pick the ripe grapes alongside our team.
After the morning harvest, you will follow the grapes into the winery where you will witness the sorting, destemming, and pressing processes. Taste the freshly pressed juice before it begins its transformation into wine. Lunch is served al fresco (weather permitting) in the vineyard, featuring a generous spread of local produce paired with wines from the previous vintage. The afternoon includes a guided blending session where you can try your hand at creating your own cuvée.
Harvest days are weather-dependent and dates are confirmed approximately two weeks in advance based on grape ripeness. We run a maximum of four harvest days per season, with spaces strictly limited. This is an experience suited to anyone who wants to connect deeply with the rhythm of vine and vintage.

Looking for something bespoke? We host private events for groups ranging from intimate gatherings of four to celebrations of up to fifty guests. Whether it is a hen party, a team-building day, or a retirement celebration, we tailor the experience to suit your occasion and interests. Options include private vineyard tours, dedicated tasting sessions, catered lunches or dinners, and exclusive use of our tasting room and terrace.
For corporate clients, we offer structured half-day programmes that combine a vineyard walk, a blind tasting challenge, and a wine and food pairing workshop. These sessions foster collaboration, communication, and a shared sense of discovery, making them far more engaging than a typical off-site meeting. We can also arrange transport from Waterford city and nearby hotels.
Every private event is coordinated by our events manager, who will work with you from the initial enquiry through to the day itself. Please contact us at least three weeks in advance for private bookings so that we can plan every detail to your satisfaction.

Plan Your Visit
We want you to feel comfortable and prepared for your visit. Here is everything you need to know before arriving at Moravexi.
All experiences must be booked in advance. The Classic Tasting runs Wednesday through Sunday, with morning and afternoon slots available. The Winemaker's Table operates on selected Friday and Saturday evenings. We recommend booking at least one week ahead for standard tastings and four weeks for dinners.
Moravexi is located near Ballyneale, approximately 15 minutes from Carrick-on-Suir and 35 minutes from Waterford city. Free parking is available at the estate. We are well signposted from the R697. If you require transport, we can recommend local taxi services, and coach access is available for larger groups.
The vineyard walk covers approximately one kilometre on mixed terrain, including grass paths and gravel tracks. We suggest wearing comfortable, flat shoes and dressing in layers, as Irish weather can be changeable even in summer. We provide umbrellas and waterproof jackets if needed.
Please let us know about any dietary requirements or allergies when booking. We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free needs across all our experiences. Our cheese and charcuterie pairings can be adjusted, and our chefs are experienced in working with diverse dietary preferences.
All of our experiences are available as gift vouchers, making a thoughtful present for wine enthusiasts, foodies, or anyone who appreciates a unique Irish experience. Vouchers are valid for twelve months from the date of purchase and can be redeemed for any experience of equal or lesser value.
We understand plans can change. Cancellations made at least 48 hours before your scheduled experience receive a full refund. Cancellations within 48 hours may be rescheduled to an alternative date at no extra cost, subject to availability. No-shows are non-refundable.
Guest Reviews
"We booked the Classic Tasting for my mother's 60th birthday and it exceeded every expectation. The guide was knowledgeable without being overwhelming, the wines were genuinely impressive, and the cheese board was outstanding. We left with three bottles and a desire to come back for the Winemaker's Table."

"The Winemaker's Table was one of the most memorable evenings I have spent in Ireland. Siobhán is a brilliant host, the barrel room setting is atmospheric, and the food was incredibly good. The lamb with the Rondo Reserve was a pairing I still think about weeks later. Worth every cent."

"I brought my team of twelve for a corporate day out and it was a huge success. The vineyard walk energised everyone, the blind tasting created great banter, and the lunch was generous and delicious. Several colleagues said it was the best team event they had attended. We have already rebooked for next year."
