“The Farm at Old Edwards” will play host to a unique “stepped up” version of St. Patrick’s Day with an Irish Feast and Party on March 17. No green beer here—Guests of the Four-Star Old Edwards Inn and Spa in the Blue Ridge Mountains town of Highlands, NC, will be treated to an Irish Feast inside a rustically elegant, restored period barn that typically plays host to wedding receptions and lively wine dinners.

Live Celtic music and an Irish-clad service staff will set the stage for this one-of-a-kind experience that begins with a good ol’ Irish whiskey and ends with “The Irish Coffee Making Experience.” Old Edwards’ Irish Laddie, Thomas Keenan, will guide guests through making their own authentic Irish Coffee after dinner, using ingredients placed at their individual place settings. A Pot O’ Gold—including spa goodies and gift card—awaits the winner.

Also included in the two-night St. Patrick’s Day Package is an authentic Irish Whiskey Tasting at Hummingbird Lounge & Library, located at Old Edwards Inn, on March 16 or 18. Old Edwards invites guests to kick up their heels and kick it up a notch for St. Patrick’s Day, Old Edwards Style. Space is limited to 50 guests.
