Taste Wexford Charter

Taste Wexford members must be based in County Wexford.

Taste Wexford members must provide, or want to provide, a food tourism experience, either seasonally or annually. Please see member categories below for further details on different food tourism experiences you can offer.

Taste Wexford members must agree to follow our six founding principles.

Taste Wexford members must strive to use/provide/sell sustainable ingredients grown, produced, and/or reared in County Wexford.

At least 50% of the ingredients used and sold at a members’ premises should be from Wexford and across Ireland. If the raw ingredients cannot be produced in Ireland, they must be sourced ethically and sustainably elsewhere.

Taste Wexford members must have a sustainable approach to their business operations and strive daily to reduce and recycle food and energy waste. In addition, they must constantly monitor their business environment, introduce new positive ways of working, and offer a greener food experience.

Taste Wexford members must strive to offer a ‘sense of place’ through their offering, customer service, your team engagement, storytelling, and saleable experiences.

Taste Wexford members must be open to working with the Taste Wexford community, our partners, and members to continuously improve their offerings.

Taste Wexford members and your team should become brand ambassadors of Taste Wexford, sharing the ethos and stories of the network with locals, visitors, and tourists.

Taste Wexford members are encouraged to work together independently of the Taste Wexford brand guardians to champion, protect, and showcase the Model County as an immersive food destination.

All Taste Wexford members must be original in their food tourism experience and not copy what other members are providing in the Taste Wexford community. Having a USP with any food tourism experience is essential to showcase our diverse and vibrant community.

Taste Wexford members must protect the brand and follow the necessary brand guidelines. Members must commit to only using the Taste Wexford brand/logo on any new experience when only pre-approved in writing by Taste Wexford brand guardians at hello@tastewexford.ie.
