The Isle of Man Spirits and Wine Tour is a small-group half-day tour combining scenic island travel with visits to two distinctive local drinks producers. Travelling by minibus with a local driver-guide, you'll journey from Douglas across the island for a relaxed and personal experience, taking in two very different expressions of Manx craft and character.

The tour includes a visit to Ventosus Winery in Peel, where you'll enjoy a tasting and learn more about this unique island producer, followed by a visit to The Fynoderee Distillery in Ramsey for a hosted tour and guided tasting of 3 to 4 spirits, discovering the folklore, creativity and craftsmanship behind the brand along the way.

Blending local flavour, island storytelling and a scenic cross-island drive, the Isle of Man Spirits and Wine Tour is ideal for visitors and local residents seeking something a little more special than a standard sightseeing trip. It's a relaxed way to spend an afternoon getting to know two of the island's most distinctive producers, without needing to plan the logistics of visiting each one yourself.

The TT Course & Motor Museum Tour is a guided lap of the full 37¾-mile TT Mountain Course, led by an ex-TT racer, combined with a visit to the Isle of Man Motor Museum. The route follows Douglas, Glen Vine, Ballacraine, Kirk Michael and Ramsey before climbing the Mountain Road, finishing at the TT Grandstand with a photo stop on the Winners' Podium. Along the way, your guide points out the famous corners and explains the racing lines competitors take at speed.

Midway through, the tour stops at the Isle of Man Motor Museum, home to 500+ exhibits and workshop access to see restoration work in progress. Travelling in a small-group minibus keeps things personal, and no prior motorsport knowledge is needed — it works equally well for racing fans and accompanying family. It's also available as a cruise excursion, with flexible timing and pickup from the Duke Travel shop at the Sea Terminal.
