MONACO HISTORICS & ITALY

April 22 – April 27, 2026, 6-Day program
The Monaco Historics has grown into the most exciting week of classic car racing in the world. It’s pure racing, no quarter asked, no quarter given. From the 1930s Bugattis, Alfas and ERAs to the Lotuses, Tyrrells and Ferraris of the 70s, the classes are superb. Overlooking the start/finish line, our superb Hospitality Suite makes sure you don’t miss a thing. Add the glamour of Monaco, great restaurants, private events and racing celebrities, and you have the recipe for a dream trip. However, that is just a start. We have now added two full days at the Portofino Coast village of Camogli, with gourmet dinners in both Camogli and Portofino. Our busy schedule continues with two full days in Maranello and includes the Pagani factories. Also included are visits to the Maranello Galleria and Enzo Museum, plus the wonderful Pavarotti house, now a beautiful museum. Also included is an opportunity to drive a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
First-class accommodations are hallmarks of this program; top restaurants and dream locations make this an experience of a lifetime.
