With the stunning Four Seasons Hotel Firenze acting as home base, guests will be able to take their choice of a classic Italian car – be it a Lamborghini or a Ferrari – and embark on a carefully created seven-day itinerary through Tuscany. Created in partnership with luxury driving experiences company, Canossa Events, each step of the journey has been carefully selected to showcase the best of this one-of-a-kind Italian region, with plenty of access to otherwise off-limits attractions.
The experience kicks off with a welcome dinner in the hotel’s Faggio Garden, followed by a good night’s rest before the first day of driving, which will feature a journey through the beautiful vineyards of so-called Chiantishire. The day is rounded off with a private tour and tasting (for passengers) at Antinori Cellars, run by one of the most historic wine families in the region.
