Over the course of the experience you will be immersed in the history - and bubbles - of a selection of the region s renowned producers and finest vintages. The day will begin with a guided tour of Reims. Here you will visit the Notre-Dame de Reims, a UNESCO World Heritage listed 13th century cathedral, and one of Europe s most important Gothic structures. The cathedral is located on the site at which all of the Kings of France, with the exception of two, have been coronated since the 5th century. From here the fun will begin as you commence your tour of Champagne houses and caves. Throughout the day you will be introduced to the diverse styles, processes and products of a selection of celebrated houses, ranging from boutique growers to Grande Maisons, developing your knowledge and appreciation of what Dom Pérignon described as tasting the stars. You will also enjoy a gourmet lunch of fresh regional produce, paired with champagne, at a local estate. That evening will be spent at region s stunning and newly renovated luxury boutique hotel - Royal Champagne & Spa (5*), sampling regional delights created by the hotel s 2 Michelin Starred chef - Jean-Denis Riubland.

From here you will experience the stunning alpine roads that traverse the French-Swiss border and Rhone-Alps, before moving onto the fast-paced Italian Autostrada. The route will also see you conquer a number of technical passes through Provence and the Cote d Azur, including sections of the Monte-Carlo Rally. In addition to famed rally roads, you will also experience the region s balcony roads. Cut into the rock of cliffsides, these spectacular roads have served as the backdrop of some of Hollywood s most famous car chases, including Ronin and Bond s Goldeneye. Featuring a mix of hairpins, switchbacks, and lazy twists and bends, the route will not only challenge and exhilarate any avid driver, it is also breathtakingly scenic. From gushing waterfalls to snow-capped mountains, sparkling lakes, vine-covered hillsides, alpine tundra, and charming villages, your stunning surrounds will be sure to delight and amaze.

5 The spectacular driving experience is complemented with luxury accommodation in stunning hotels, chateaus and historic castles. You will also spend your evenings dining in the award-winning restaurants where, over a gastronomic dinner and fine wine, you can trade stories with the group, and enjoy the panoramas of your privileged locales. As part of the tour you have the choice of either commencing or concluding your tour with the Monaco Grand Prix. Tour 1 commences with the drive from Champagne to Monaco and concludes with the Grand Prix; Tour 2 starts with the Grand Prix before departing Monaco for Champagne on the supercar drive.

9 THE SUPERCARS OUR STUNNING FLEET ASTON MARTIN DB11 Labelled as the most important Aston in the marque s history, the DB11 is a supremely sophisticated blend of hypermodern road-crushing technologies and old-school Gran Tourer charm. AUDI R8 V10 If you re hungry for a gorgeous, driver-friendly and quick as lightning vehicle, the new release update to the R8 delivers. Consider your wish granted. FERRARI 488 GTB The successor to the adored 458 Italia sees the eager-revving and naturally aspirated V8 retired, in favour of a brand new turbocharged powerplant. This weapon will propel you from in just 3.0 seconds.. FERRARI 458 SPIDER Simply one of the greatest supercars ever created, the Spider adds opentop thrills to the already fantastic chassis and engine of the 458. Drop the roof, depress the loud pedal and hear it scream. JAGUAR F - TYPE R Perhaps the best-looking coupe of the modern era, this blistering machine features an insane supercharged 5.0L V8 that has been described as sounding like a jackhammer choir. LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR LP700-4 With a top speed listed simply as more than 350km/hr, the Aventador LP700-4 is brutally powerful and obscenely flamboyant. LAMBORGHINI HURACAN LP610-4 The Huracan is a fantastic combination of fast, loud and sharp. With an ingenious four wheel drive system, the LP-610 offers some seriously accessible performance. MCLAREN 570S Be warned: while there are many fast cars out there, few have the performance capabilities that require drivers to up their game so profoundly. Are you ready? MERCEDES AMG GTS With a dauntingly low driving position, way back over the rear axle, the devastatingly handsome GTS draws heavily on the lauded SLS. An agile yet comfortable grand tourer that will surprise and delight. PORSCHE 911 TURBO For decades, the 911 Turbo has been the stuff of legend - a title it continues to claim today. Comfortable and capable in all situations, this precision instrument remains a timeless inclusion on our tours.
