From city buzz to sea views — with flavours to match.
Jump on board with The Road Trip Co for a one-of-a-kind foodie break that takes you straight from London to the Isle of Wight in style. Think artisan gin, garlic-inspired feasting, a seven-course chef’s menu, and waking up to ocean views from your balcony.
This is the Isle of Wight, served up on a plate.
Day 1 – From City Streets to Sea BreezesLondon pickup in our comfy Road Trip Co minibus – no trains, no ferries to organise, just sit back and let the adventure roll.
Scenic drive down to the coast and hop across the Solent.
Check into your balcony sea-view room at The Wellington Hotel, perched on Ventnor’s cliffs.
Evening free to wander the seafront, watch the sunset, or sip a glass of wine overlooking the bay.
Breakfast with a view at The Wellington.
Late morning: Exclusive behind-the-scenes tour at Mermaid Gin Distillery – learn the craft, sip the botanicals, and discover why it’s an island icon.
Lunch at The Garlic Farm – rustic, fresh, and everything garlic (yes, even ice cream if you’re brave).
Afternoon free: stretch your legs on a coastal path, browse farm shops, or simply laze by the sea.
Evening spotlight: a Seven-Course Tasting Menu at The True Food Kitchen, where Isle of Wight produce is transformed into a culinary journey.
Wake up to the sound of the sea and enjoy a lazy balcony breakfast.
Take a final stroll through Ventnor or pick up a foodie souvenir (garlic chutney? local gin?).
Early afternoon: board the minibus and cruise back to London — full bellies, fresh air in your lungs, and foodie stories to share.
