|---|---|
Situated on Main Street in the beautiful and historic town of Kinsale, The Vintage is reputed to be one of the finest restaurants in Ireland, satisfying the palate of the discerning diner for the last forty years. It has had a colourful history during its 600 year existence. After Oliver Cromwell, the English Parliamentarian General, burned the building down in 1649, it was rebuilt using timbers from a Man O’War Naval vessel found in the Harbour. Some of those original ancient oak timbers remain to this day in the snug bar supporting part of the building. Later, oars and masts were made on the premises for the Galley Ships of the era. The building also supported local employment by operating as a cooperage, making barrels for export to Bordeaux for use in the wine making industry. In later years it also operated as a family home and shop. Property Details The true scope of this property cannot be gleaned from it’s quaint exterior.
