TUSCANY AND THE VALLEY OF SUPERCARS SELF DRIVE

Upon arrival at Amerigo Vespucci Airport, you will be transferred by a luxury vehicle to your hotel. Once you have settled in, you will receive a detailed road book. Your AO Concierge will give you a call at the scheduled time to brief you on the exciting days ahead.

Your supercar driving day begins today. You traverse through the Chianti region and will charm you with unique landscapes, old vineyards, and fantastic food. Start driving south from Florence on the Chianti Road (SR222), famous for the Mille Miglia vintage car race. Chianti is often called "bottled poetry," and you can taste it at Viticcio Winery Estate and Casa del Chianti Classico. Keep driving east to the beautiful Badia Coltbuono Monastery for lunch and olive oil tasting. After lunch, drive further south to the medieval Brolio Castle, the ancestral home of the Ricasoli family, who helped create Chianti wine, and learn about their fascinating history.

For the second driving day, head south to the beautiful Val d'Orcia/La Crete region, known for its rolling hills, unique views, and cypress tree-lined roads. Many consider this the classic Tuscan landscape. This region also has some of the best thermal waters and spas in Tuscany. The tour will include a visit to the hilltop village of Montepulciano, famous for its wines, and a stop at the spa town of Bagno Vignoni. After lunch, drive through the vineyards of the Brunello region, including the famous Poggio di Sotto. To end the day, loop back north through Val d'Orcia, optionally stopping at Abbazia di Monte Oliveto Maggiore, before returning to Chianti country for a second evening.

Today’s drive takes you to Bologna via the Mille Miglia Route, crossing the Passo della Raticosa and Passo della Futa. These passes are popular for their scenic, twisty roads. After lunch, you'll arrive in Bologna, a vibrant city with museums and factories for Lamborghini, Enzo Ferrari, and Pagani. Here, you can see iconic luxury sports cars, concept cars, historic collections, and modern limited editions. A 20-minute drive later, you'll reach Maranello, where you'll stay for the evening.

For the final drive, visit the Maranello Ferrari Museum to explore a vast collection of Ferrari cars, from iconic classics to the latest models. After lunch, test your skills with Ferrari test drivers in the rolling hills of Emilia-Romagna. Then, drive south via the Mille Miglia route to reach Florence for your final evening. We hope you enjoyed driving this route. Return to your hotel in Florence, where you started this journey. Drop off the car at the reception/valet and continue your romance with Florence this evening.

It’s time to bid adieu to Florence. The charming routes, the roar of your supercar and the many unforgettable moments will stay with you, long after your Supercar drive days are over.
