Ferrari Tour
Treat yourself to a once in a lifetime experience during your Europe holiday and visit the Ferrari Museum in Maranello during a one day excursion from Florence.
Enjoy the roar of a Ferrari engine and experience the myth of the “Red Cars” by visiting the Ferrari Museum in Maranello! Learn about the legend of the “Prancing Horse” through an exhibition of images, vintage cars, F1 single-seaters and admire the trophies won by the Ferrari racing teams all over the world and years.
See the famous “Galleria del Vento” (Wind Tunnel) designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano, where cars are tested for their aerodynamic properties. You can discover the secrets of the engines through technical drawings and have a really close look at the technological solutions used by Ferrari.
Optional: Ferrari or Lamborghini test drive.
But Maranello and its surroundings are also a synonym for delicious specialties and typical products, so our tour proceeds with a visit to a famous “Acetaia”. The owners of the estate will show you all the vinegar aging in barrels and reveal all the tricks of the trade to produce the best traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena. You will finally have the chance to taste the fine products of the farm and to buy them in their show room.
Your flavors quest will be quenched with a rich lunch in a typical restaurant where you will be able to taste a mouth watering menu based on regional products.
The last pit-stop is dedicated to the discovery of the world-famous Parmigiano Reggiano. The Parmesan is a protected iconic hard cheese that stands out not only for its unique taste and tradition, but also for the marks and signs affixed on each form, that help you recognizing the original. It is said that Parmigiano Reggiano has been "a great cheese for at least nine centuries" not only for its ancient origin but also because this cheese today is still identical to how it was eight centuries ago, having the same appearance and the same extraordinary fragrance, made in the same way, in the same places, with the same expert ritual gestures.
