Isle of Man holidays, tours and experiences from local specialists.

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 Private Isle of Man TT Course Experience takes you around the legendary TT Mountain Course with your own driver-guide and an itinerary built around your group.

Follow the full 37¾-mile circuit through Douglas, Glen Vine, Ballacraine, Kirk Michael and Ramsey before climbing the famous Mountain Road. Along the way, your guide will bring the course to life with stories from the TT, famous incidents, racing lines and the challenges riders face at some of the world's best-known corners.

Your private experience can also include a visit to the Isle of Man Motor Museum, home to more than 500 exhibits and a working restoration workshop.

Unlike our shared TT Course & Motor Museum Tour, this experience is exclusively for your group. That gives you more time to stop at the places that interest you, take photographs and shape the tour around your particular interest in the TT and Manx motorsport.

Candle Making at Soaral is a couple of peaceful, fragrant hours inside the welcoming studio of one of the island's favourite candle makers — a chance to swap the rush of everyday life for something slower and more creative. Guided by a friendly local host, you'll explore a palette of scents, from breezy coastal notes and soft florals to cosy woods and spices, before blending your own signature fragrance.

With expert tips, you'll hand-pour a smooth soy-wax candle with a crackling wooden wick, learning the secrets to a clean, even burn. Choose the Warm Single-Wick (£49) for a classic candle or the Grand Three-Wick (£69) for an impressive centrepiece. The relaxed, sociable setting comes with complimentary refreshments throughout, making Candle Making at Soaral ideal for visitors discovering the Isle of Man as well as locals looking for a mindful creative activity.

When your candle eventually burns out, the studio can remake your custom scent so you can enjoy it again and again — a small touch that turns a one-off workshop into something you can keep coming back to. It's a popular choice for a relaxed afternoon out, a couple's activity, or simply some time to yourself away from the usual sightseeing itinerary.
