Celebrate one of F1’s most beloved races, the Australian Grand Prix, with our week-long luxury tour from Adelaide to Melbourne — a motoring and motorsport extravaganza.

Your journey begins in Adelaide where you will spend a few days enjoying the region’s best productions: fine wine, beautiful countryside, and of course, a visit to the Tailem Bend Motorsport Precinct.

From here, you begin your cross-country run to Melbourne, taking in a carefully curated selection of iconic coastal and country roads in South Australia and Victoria. The tour concludes in Melbourne just in time for the Grand Prix, with plenty of extras and surprises along the way.

In addition to being a rare opportunity to enjoy your favourite car on incredible roads, the tour also includes a series of fantastic overnight stays and dining experiences, including a private dinner in the motoring museum at The Bend.
