Gourmet driving experiences

Launching in March 2026, The Epicurean Motor Club is organising a series of exclusive, meticulously crafted self-drive gastronomic tours of the Isle of Wight for prestige, classic, sports and performance car enthusiasts. 

​​

Showcasing the very best the Isle of Wight has to offer, The Epicurean Motor Club celebrates British craftsmanship, culinary excellence and the finest artisan producers - all set against the glorious backdrop of some of the most spectacular south coast scenery with its rolling downs, towering cliffs and sparkling seas, not to mention breathtaking driving routes.

​

One of the UK's best-kept secrets, the Isle of Wight lays claim to being Britain's sunniest county and its mild micro climate combined with ozone-rich air and well-drained chalk soil makes for ideal growing conditions. Long-renowned for its exquisite Isle of Wight tomatoes, internationally-recognised cheeses and being one of Europe's largest garlic producers, the Island is rapidly developing a reputation for being a must-visit destination for discerning food and drink lovers, with the freshest seafood, regeneratively-farmed meat and veg and an ever-expanding list of drinks brands using locally sourced ingredients to produce award-winning spirits, wines and ales.

​

As a private chef on the Isle of Wight I am spoilt for choice when it comes to designing menus using locally-sourced, seasonal produce and love showcasing the finest fish, meat and cheese and supporting our local farmers, fisheries and food retailers wherever possible. I frequently find myself recommending off-the-beaten-path foodie destinations and must-visit places to eat and drink to my private dining clients, acting as an unofficial ambassador for the Isle of Wight - and so the idea for The Epicurean Motor Club was born. 

​

With exclusively hired stays at some of the finest boutique hotels and residences on the island, clients will enjoy unrivalled hospitality, first class service and unique access to makers, producers and chefs, alongside bespoke curated experiences and behind the scenes guided self-drive tours to some of the Isle of Wight's most fabulous hidden treasures and locations.

​​

Let us take care of every detail of your stay, with every aspect of your tour organised and managed by us from start to finish. From return ferry travel, detailed route guides and detailed itineraries; to bespoke menus, complimentary professional car detailing and the services of a photographer throughout to capture every minute of your adventure, no detail is too small and no special request too great an ask. 

​

We are passionate about our small island and can't wait to introduce you to its culinary pleasures and hidden gems.
