Steam of winter diesel and summer heat both fade as you pull off the Venetian lagoon and head inland—flat fields of the Po Valley open, and the silhouette of Maranello signals a different kind of landscape: assembly lines, test tarmac and the low hum of engines. The day begins with pickup in Venice, a private transfer that deposits you at the Museo Ferrari where polished chassis and archival posters chart Enzo Ferrari’s rise from racing stable to global marque.

Maranello sits on the edge of the Apennine foothills; the Fiorano test track, a short drive away, was built to sharpen cars before they hit the world stage. Culture here is automotive and culinary—Modena’s food traditions and the Il Cavallino dining room offer a clear reminder that Emilia‑Romagna pairs speed with slow food.
Expect a simulator warmup, a guided walk through the Ferrari Citadel, then a 10‑minute road test in a Ferrari California or Portofino on public roads—sharp turns, controlled acceleration, and a handful of adrenalin bursts. Timewise the private experience runs about nine hours door‑to‑door and is physically undemanding but administratively strict: valid driving licence and, for non‑EU licences, an International Driving Permit with at least three years’ experience are required.
Practical tips: bring ID, dress in layers for changing temperatures between car and museum, keep your camera ready but follow staff instructions during the test drive, and allow quieter moments after lunch to visit a local acetaia or the Fiorano overlook. This day blends museum storytelling, raw mechanical performance and regional food—an efficient, high‑adrenaline portrait of Italy’s automotive heartland.
easy.
9 hours.
Suitable for all fitness levels; mostly seated but requires ability to enter/exit vehicles and follow safety briefings.
Yes—the experience includes a supervised 10‑minute test drive on public roads in a Ferrari California or Portofino, subject to licence checks and local traffic rules.
No—the test drive takes place on public roads; the tour includes a guided panoramic visit of the Fiorano area but the factory test track is not used for the 10‑minute road drive.
Children under 3 cannot access the panoramic tour; simulator height limits are typically 160–185 cm—confirm specifics with the operator at booking.
If the booked restaurant cannot host you, the operator will provide an equivalent local restaurant meal with similar quality and wine included.
Maranello became Ferrari’s headquarters after WWII—Enzo Ferrari concentrated racing and production here, evolving the town into an automotive hub with the Fiorano test track and factory complex.
The area balances industrial activity with agricultural land; respect private properties, follow noise and access rules around the Fiorano track, and support local producers to help sustain the rural economy.
