Ferrari Test Drive in Maranello — Private Day Trip from Venice
Experience the Thrill of Ferrari in Its Birthplace — Maranello from Venice
Few names in the world spark excitement like Ferrari. Born from Italian genius and forged in the fires of passion, precision, and performance, Ferrari isn’t just a car brand — it’s a legend. Now, imagine not just seeing that legend… but driving it.
This exclusive Ferrari Driving Experience takes you from the timeless canals of Venice to Maranello, the beating heart of Italy’s Motor Valley. Here, engines roar, hearts race, and dreams come to life — one turn of the steering wheel at a time.
🚗 Departure from Venice — From Canals to Curves
Your journey begins at Piazzale Roma in Venice, where your private driver and guide await. As the city’s skyline fades behind you, the road opens toward Emilia-Romagna — the birthplace of Ferrari, Maserati, Ducati, and Lamborghini.
Along the way, rolling hills and red-brick villages set the scene for what’s to come: a day dedicated to Italian speed, style, and soul.
🏁 Welcome to Maranello — Where Legends Are Born
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed at a private driving center in Maranello — a temple for car enthusiasts from around the world. Here, professional instructors greet you with Italian warmth and guide you through the essentials of handling a Ferrari: the feel of the throttle, the sound of the engine, the art of balance between power and control.
Every second builds anticipation — until it’s your turn to take the wheel.
🔥 Ferrari Test Drive — Feel the Power of Perfection
The moment you step into the Ferrari Portofino, everything changes. The cockpit smells of leather and adrenaline. The dashboard gleams. The engine hums, waiting for your command.
Then — ignition. A symphony of horsepower fills the air.
For 60 exhilarating minutes (covering approximately 60 km / 37 miles), you’ll drive through the scenic mountain roads of Maranello, where every curve feels like a celebration of speed and freedom. The stunning Emilia-Romagna countryside stretches around you — vineyards, medieval villages, and winding roads that have tested the world’s greatest machines.
This is not a ride. It’s an awakening.
🍝 Lunch in Maranello — The Taste of Tradition
After the rush of adrenaline, it’s time to unwind. Enjoy a two-course Italian lunch with dessert at one of Maranello’s best local restaurants — a favorite among drivers and racing fans alike. Savor regional specialties made from fresh local ingredients, paired with a glass of fine wine or espresso, while you relive every moment of your Ferrari adventure.
🏆 Ferrari Museum — The House of La Rossa
No Ferrari experience would be complete without stepping into its spiritual home: the Ferrari Museum in Maranello. Here, you’ll wander through decades of innovation and victory — from Formula 1 legends to iconic road cars that changed the automotive world.
Admire Enzo Ferrari’s original designs, championship-winning engines, and concept cars that look like rolling works of art. Every exhibit is a testament to the Italian pursuit of perfection.
Don’t forget to stop by the official boutique to pick up Ferrari merchandise — caps, model cars, or leather accessories that carry the spirit of Maranello home with you.
🛣️ Return to Venice — With the Sound of the Engine Still Echoing
After your museum visit and shopping stop, settle back into your private car or van for the return to Venice. The road feels quieter now — but your heart is still racing. Outside, the sunset paints the hills in gold; inside, you replay every corner, every acceleration, every second behind the wheel.
By the time you reach Venice, you’ll realize you didn’t just drive a Ferrari — you lived it.
