Rebecca Dalley, CEO of The Watercress Line, said: "The Wine Line brings together some of the very best things Hampshire has to offer  - exceptional local wines, delicious food and the timeless experience of travelling through our beautiful countryside aboard a heritage steam train."

The experience includes three premium still wines and two sparkling wines guided by experts from independent wine merchant The Naked Grape and Hampshire winery Penn Croft.

Passengers will be greeted with a complimentary drink on arrival at Alresford Station before enjoying an evening of wine tasting, expert talks and picturesque views.

The event is open to guests aged 18 and over.

Tickets are priced at £99 per person, and early booking is advised due to limited availability.

Bookings can be made via The Watercress Line website at watercressline.co.uk.
