With beautiful scenery and fantastic destinations, the Isle of Wight is the perfect place to visit for a day trip. With a ferry route across the Solent from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight, Hovercraft is the world’s only year-round passenger hovercraft service. In just 10 minutes, you’ll be on the shore at Southsea or Ryde and you’ll be able to explore everything that’s on offer as soon as you disembark. During this experience, you’ll visit the Isle of Wight Distillery for a Mermaid Gin Talk and Tasting Experience. You’ll sample a range of hand-crafted spirits as you learn all about the history and distillation process. Your tasting board will feature a range of 10ml spirits such as Mermaid Zest Gin, Mermaid Salt Vodka, HMS Victory Rum, and the full collection of island spirits, including those specially crafted with a hint of sea air from wild-rock foraged samphire locally known as ‘mermaid’s kiss’. With great views of the stills in action, you’ll be able to see firsthand how the spirits you sample are produced. | Hampshire - Southsea; Isle of Wight - RYDE
