The Travel Counsellors Gold Dinner is an exclusive event hosted by Travel Counsellors Ireland to honour its top-performing independent travel agents who have achieved or maintained Gold status. When hosted at the five-star Mount Juliet Estate in County Kilkenny, this elite gathering includes luxury overnight stays, networking and a premium gala dinner. The estate’s flagship culinary venue, the Michelin-starred Lady Helen Restaurant led by Executive Chef John Kelly, often serves as a focal point for fine dining.
The dinner is reserved for individuals who have reached Gold business milestones within the Travel Counsellors network. Corporate and gala banquets at the estate are hosted as four or five-course meals curated by their culinary team, complemented by wine pairings. The evening blends business reflection with luxury hospitality, allowing top independent agents to connect with corporate leadership and premier global travel suppliers.
Mount Juliet Estate is located just 20 minutes outside Kilkenny City and 90 minutes from Dublin. Large galas and incentive events are frequently staged in the McCalmount Suite, which accommodates up to 200 guests for banquets and corporate gala dinners. Premium amenities include the championship Jack Nicklaus golf course, an equestrian centre, estate falconry and luxury accommodations split between the historic Manor House and the contemporary Hunter’s Yard.
