Gin lovers…come get your fix – for this week only in London!!!  

BOMBAY SAPPHIRE announces the launch of The Grand Journey, a one-off immersive drinking and tasting experience that pushes the boundaries of mixology and culinary conventions. 

A virtual passage around the world, The Grand Journey is inspired by the 10 beautiful botanical locations used to create the gin; where guests will be transported from Morocco to Murcia, Spain to Saxony on a journey that fuses the worlds of art, food and visual design. 

BOMBAY SAPPHIRE is working in collaboration with avant-garde talent that includes The Robin Collective (Purveyors of Curious Events and Experimental Food) and award-winning Canadian mixologist Geoff Robinson (known for his creative work at Happiness Forgets, listed in the ‘ 50 Best Bars’) to create an interactive story and unique interpretation for BOMBAY SAPPHIRE.

The tour will take place from October to December 2016 and can be seen in Antwerp, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin and finally in Amsterdam. 

Guests will be entertained for 60 mins as they voyage into the world of BOMBAY SAPPHIRE and the ingredients that make BOMBAY SAPPHIRE. Guests will be welcomed by a cast of characters including a Train Guard who will host each event and use botanical locations to reveal a different flavour to tell a new story. 

The serves and taster dishes created by The Robin Collective will be presented in a multi-sensory manner, meaning that moving images are projected onto the surrounding walls; music, fragrance and lighting match the individual offerings; and the service of many courses will involve mini theatrical performances from staff.  

On board the train, an array of serves and dishes will be served, to more complex creations by The Robin Collective such as Orris Root mist and colour-changing palate cleaners.

Tickets are priced at £30 and can be purchased here.
