Tickets will soon be available to purchase for a luxurious, immersive train experience from Bombay Sapphire, where guests will be invited to board The Grand Journey in London.
Although the experience is set to be hosted on a train, there will be no actual travel involved. Instead, guests will be virtually transported to far-off destinations like Ghana and Tuscany, all without having to leave London's capital city. Throughout 10 "journeys," passengers will be immersed in the 10 botanicals in the brand's gin by exploring the flavors of different regions with light, sound, taste and virtual reality headsets.
Alongside the immersive virtual experience, guests will also be served decadent dishes by Michelin-starred chef Tom Sellers that have been specifically crafted to pair perfectly with the botanical notes in Bombay Sapphire cocktails.
