Discover Italy with Canossa Events’ luxury driving experiences
From Milan’s historical sights to Emilia-Romagna’s food heaven, from vineyard-dotted Tuscany to the straight-from-a-postcard Italian Riviera coastlines, the Canossa Grand Tours will make you feel like you’re the star of a real-life movie set.
The first-class journey starts from the minute you land at the airport in Milan, where a chauffeur awaits to escort you to the 5-star Armani Hotel.
Guests will spend the afternoon exploring the many sites (or shopping temptations) of Milan’s historic city center before indulging in a Milanese food feast.
On the second day, guests are heading to Parma, in the heart of the Italian Food Valley for a unique blend of culinary and motoring delights — from the mouthwatering gastronomical experience at the medieval castle of Vigoleno to the exhilarating driving sensations across the foothills of the northern Apennine mountains.
On Day 3, get ready for a serious dose of motoring craftsmanship at Modena and the surrounding Motor Valley (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Maserati, and other well-known brands were born here).
On day 4, guests depart the Motor Valley along the legendary roads of the Mille Miglia, through the Apennines, across the Futa and Raticosa Passes to reach Florence. Spend the afternoon walking down the narrow streets of this Renaissance city before ending the day with a magnificent dinner with a view.
The next day will be spent around the bucolic Chianti region, with its endless vineyards, farms and olive groves, before heading to the medieval village of Volterra. The day ends in Forte dei Marmi, Tuscany’s most glamorous town on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Day 6 starts with a visit to Pisa and its famous tower, before heading to the magnificent walled city of Lucca. Snaking your way through the Apuan Alps and the world-famous marble of Carrara, road trippers will return to Forte dei Marmi for a sumptuous seaside dinner set against a dreamy sunset backdrop.
There’s no Road to Happiness,
CANOSSA EVENTS
Happiness is the Road.
Day 7 will be spent exploring the Tuscan coast and the romantic Gulf of Poets, with a quick stop in the enchanting seaside village of Lerici before reaching the famously photogenic Cinque Terre, and lunching in the mind-blowing coastal town of Riomaggiore.
It’s already time to return to Milan. The journey ends with a farewell dinner of the Canossa Grand Tour boasting a spectacular view of the sumptuous Piazza del Duomo.
Slow food. Fast cars. Breathtaking sceneries and utmost luxury. The sweet life, indeed.
