Summer on the Isle of Wight

Discover one of the sunniest destinations in the UK, blessed with 60 miles of beaches and its very own Mediterranean microclimate.

Forget about the stress of airport security queues, the panic of finding your passport and the unexpected cost of booking in that extra bag – simply relax as Wightlink whisks you across the Solent to your tropical Island getaway.

Wightlink knows that plans can change, so book ahead with confidence with their Standard Vehicle Ticket, which is refundable and amendable at the click of a button.

Your tropical Island getaway

A hidden gem that’s only 22 minutes away from the coast of Hampshire, the Isle of Wight has all the charm of any tropical island and there’s no shortage of things to do.

If you’re after a relaxing, sun-soaking break then you’re in luck – there’s a sandy beach around every comer. And if you want something a little more active, tackle over 200 miles of cycle routes and 500 miles of footpaths, most with stunning coastal views that will take your breath away.

Soak up some culture, too, with a visit to one of the Diamond Isle’s many historical landmarks, including Queen Victoria’s holiday home, a rocket testing site and, of course, the famous chalk stacks and lighthouse, The Needles.

Hattingley Valley makes award-winning English wine from its winery in Alresford, Hampshire.

Family-owned Hattingley Valley was established in 2008 by owner Simon Robinson and specialises in premium, award-winning sparkling and still English wines. It uses grapes grown on-site and from vineyards across the South of England.

Come to the Gardens Illustrated live event featuring Claire Ratinon, Tom Massey and Dan Pearson, sponsored by Hattingley Valley

With over 10 hectares (25 acres) of vines across two well-situated sites, as well as a full wine analysis laboratory on-site, the Hampshire based winery is known for its refreshingly modern and innovative approach to winemaking.

What sets Hattingley wines apart from the rest is the subtle use of oak barrels to age the wine. Hattingley wines take a minimum of 18 months to mature and develop, ensuring delicious flavours that showcase the versatility of English wine.

If you’d like to see all this for yourself, Hattingley offers a winery tour and tasting. You’ll not only get to sample its award-winning premium sparkling wines, but you’ll also learn about each step of the wine making process.
