This October, we had the privilege of accompanying a group of 10 Ferrari clients as we embarked on an extraordinary journey – the Maranello to Maranello 2025 Grand Tour. Beginning at Maranello Sales in Egham, and culminating at the Ferrari Factory in Maranello, Italy, this exclusive five-day experience captured the essence of Ferrari’s grand touring philosophy: exceptional driving, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable moments shared among passionate owners.

The tour began on as participants set off from Egham towards the Channel Tunnel before crossing into France. After a refined lunch at Le Jardin de Crayères in Reims, in the heart of Champagne, the convoy continued through the French countryside to the elegant Château de Germigney near Dijon – a five-star retreat complete with a Michelin-starred restaurant and luxurious spa.

Day Two saw the Ferraris take on two of Switzerland’s most iconic Alpine passes – the Grimsel and the Furka. The day’s highlight included a stop at the historic Hotel Grimsel Hospiz, overlooking the stunning Grimselsee Lake, before arriving at Radisson Blu Andermatt: an Alpine haven offering panoramic views and refined relaxation.

The following morning, participants experienced four legendary passes – St. Gotthard, San Bernardino, Splügen, and Maloja – a true test of precision and driving pleasure. A spectacular lunch at Paradiso St. Moritz, reached via chairlift, offered breathtaking views and refined cuisine. The day concluded at QC Terme Bagni di Bormio, a timeless Art Nouveau hotel renowned for its natural thermal waters and elegant Italian charm.

Day Four began with a sunrise drive on the Stelvio Pass, the highest paved mountain road in Italy and an iconic challenge for every driver. The journey continued to the Mille Miglia Museum in Brescia – a fitting homage to the spirit of competition and design excellence that defines Ferrari. The evening concluded in Maranello, with dinner at Ristorante Montana: a celebrated Modenese institution.

The final day marked the emotional highlight of the tour: an exclusive private tour of the Ferrari Factory. Guests were invited to step inside the beating heart of Maranello – where craftsmanship, innovation, and heritage unite to create some of the world’s most exceptional cars. The journey concluded with a celebratory lunch at Ristorante Cavallino, reimagined by three-Michelin-starred chef Massimo Bottura, where authentic Emilian cuisine met Ferrari’s enduring legacy.

From the winding roads of the Alps to the gates of Maranello itself, Maranello to Maranello 2025 was more than a driving tour – it was a tribute to Ferrari’s passion for performance, design, and the joy of shared experiences on the open road.
