This private sightseeing transfer threads the industrial glamour of Emilia—Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani—with the quieter culinary craft of Modena: aged balsamic and Parmesan. Over the course of the day you move from city-to-city, stopping in Modena or Maranello to visit museums, plan test drives, and explore historic sites that include a Romanesque cathedral and the town center.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ICONS

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati — Automotive Heritage

Modena and nearby Maranello are the birthplace and workshop of some of Italy’s most storied sports-car makers. The day can include visits to the Ferrari museum and other marque-related sites that trace the region’s automotive lineage.

THE EXPERIENCE

Museums, Test Drives and Factory-Town Atmosphere

Beyond static displays, the itinerary can be shaped around dynamic experiences: planned test drives and visits to brand museums give a sense of how Maranello and Modena live around automotive production and passion.

THE TASTE

Traditional Balsamic and Regional Flavors

Modena’s culinary traditions are part of the stop: guided visits to producers of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, Parmesan stops and recommendations for some of the area’s notable restaurants are offered as part of the day.
