Providing a deliciously different experience this Spring, Bombay Sapphire, the world’s number one premium gin, has partnered with The Vineyard Hotel in Berkshire to create ‘The Great Gin Escape’, the ultimate getaway for gin lovers.
Available from March until the end of April, ‘The Great Gin Escape’ includes tickets to explore the home of Bombay Sapphire in Hampshire, and an overnight stay and dinner at the luxury five star Vineyard Hotel at Stockcross. Guests will be welcomed at The Vineyard with a Bombay Sapphire Ultimate Gin & Tonic and accompanying chocolate treat infused with the exotic botanicals found in the iconic gin, created exclusively by Head Patisserie Chef Antony Millon. Guests will then be invited to feast on a sumptuous five-course menu at the hotel restaurant with all dishes sourced from local and seasonal produce.
To continue the journey of discovery, all guests will be given tickets to explore the majestic Bombay Sapphire Distillery at Laverstoke Mill. Situated only 30 minutes by car from the hotel, guests can take part in ‘The Self-Discovery Experience’ which will take them around the official home of this exquisite gin. The fully interactive experience will uncover some of the hints and tips that create iconic cocktails, as well as taking visitors on a journey
through the history of Bombay Sapphire. Guests will be able to discover the beautiful glasshouses designed by renowned architect Thomas Heatherwick, take the opportunity to touch, smell and taste the botanicals in the dry room, witness the unique vapour infusion process in the Dakin Still House and learn about the history of the brand in the Heritage Room.
‘The Great Gin Escape’ experience will wind up with guests being offered a uniquely different cocktail, created by Brand Ambassador Sam Carter and available exclusively at the Bombay Sapphire Distillery. This ‘non-chocolate chocolatey cocktail’, explores flavour transmogrification by fusing freshly squeezed pink grapefruit with vanilla sugar to create the perfect guilt-free chocolate and gin indulgence.
