Recap: 2025 Classic Motorsports Orange Blossom Tour

Day 1:

A guided tour of Florida’s finest back roads and hidden gem destinations–all from behind the wheel of your very own car.

Welcome to the Classic Motorsports Orange Blossom Tour, this year taking place March 9-14.

Sunday, March 9, saw our participants arrive at the hub hotel for the week’s activities, the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort, and settle in before the first day of driving.

Monday, March 10, we started off with an on-site breakfast before heading west to De Leon Springs. While there, our tour-goers saw several local species in their natural habit, including manatees, alligators, turtles and more.

After lunch at the Victoria Hills Golf Club, we drove south to the tallest lighthouse in Florida, the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. Guests got to explore the museums located in the former lighthouse keeper’s dwellings.

Those brave enough to climb the many, many stairs of the lighthouse were greeted with a stunning panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.

To finish up the day, we returned to the hotel for the chance to freshen up before dinner at the Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse located inside the hotel.

Day 2:

Day 2, March 11, started off with a trek southwards through Florida’s iconic Space Coast, with a stop at the Seminole Rest historic site before heading to lunch at Frigate’s Waterfront Bar & Grill in Melbourne.

With their stomachs full, our tour participants were treated to a visit at the 123,000-square-foot American Muscle Car Museum, featuring several rare and low-mileage cars.

While it was time to head back to the hotel for dinner, the day’s activities didn’t end for everyone.

For the tour guests who purchased tickets to attend, the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America’s annual induction dinner took place at our host hotel, the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort.

For everyone else, it was a choose-your-own-adventure-style dinner.

Day 3:

Day 3, March 12, our first stop of the day was The World Center of Racing, Daytona International Speedway. Tour participants got to experience the famed race track from driver's seat during some parade laps.

After that, we headed inside the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America for a chance to see cars, motorcycles and memorabilia from throughout the history of racing.

For lunch, we took our tour goers across the street to one our favorite local Italian places, Tiano's, before getting back on the road for a visit to the pristine nature of Washington Oaks Gardens State Park.

To wrap up the day, we then returned to hotel and hopped on a bus for a ride to another of our favorite local restaurants, Mario’s.

Day 4:

For Day 4, March 13, we treated our tour participants to a very special treat: For the first time ever, we opened our own private collection to the public.

Guests also had the chance to check out the Classic Motorsports workshop and see the latest project car in progress.

Then, we headed north for lunch at one of our favorite waterfront restaurants before enjoying a private tour of the famed Brumos Collection.

Before ending the day, we led our tour-goers for a drive along the St. Johns River and through the many farms of western Flagler County.

Once back at the hotel, it was time to freshen up for one last dinner together before parting ways in the morning on March 14.

Smoky Mountain Tour: Drive the famed Tail of the Dragon

If there’s one road that captures the imagination of many motoring enthusiasts, it’s the Tail of the Dragon–and with good reason. It consists of 318 curves in 11 miles, and you can experience that first-hand with us on the Classic Motorsports Smoky Mountain Tour.

This is just one of many incredible driving excursions during our tour that’s based in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Why make Chattanooga and its Westin Chattanooga the hub for this year’s Classic Motorsports Smoky Mountain Tour? Because the Scenic City rocks.

Don’t take our word for it. According to Visit Chattanooga, Lonely Planet named Chattanooga as the “Best in the U.S.” and “10 U.S. destinations you need to see.” The New York Times put Chattanooga on its list of “Top 45 Places to go” in the world.

Why?

Chattanooga offers a vibrant arts scene, fine dining, natural beauty and amazing things to do.

The good news? The Classic Motorsports Smoky Mountain Tour serves as your personal guide to the hidden gems in Chattanooga and surrounding areas while also offering you a few opportunities to explore on your own, too. It's a recipe that will leave you with an unforgettable trip that you will talk about for years to come.

Next on the Schedule: A Reimagined Smoky Mountain Tour!

As registration for the Orange Blossom tour closes this weekend, another door opens: and it’s a door to the Smoky Mountains!

In case you didn’t hear: our Smoky Mountain tour this year is all-new and fully redesigned to be based out of downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee, one of the South’s best small cities.

Although this tour is one of our longest-running annual adventures, it’s gotten a complete refresh for 2025 and will be like nothing you’ve ever seen before, even if you’ve been on a Smoky Mountain Tour with us in the past.

We’ll be honest: the move to Chattanooga was forced by nature, thanks to hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on North Carolina, and we entered the planning for this tour with a lot of apprehension about how to proceed in a different host city while respecting the time needed for our original host city, Asheville, to recover.

That apprehension went away as soon as we spent some time in Chattanooga testing routes and scouting locations for the tour. The energy and beauty we found in Tennessee were undeniably refreshing. 

The Volunteer State features some of the best roads we’ve ever driven, and they’re wide open, not clogged with tourists and bikers. The same goes for the breathtaking scenery and delicious food. And as for accommodations and amenities, Chattanooga offers a walkable downtown filled with restaurants (several of which we’ll be visiting), true southern hospitality, and a genuinely outstanding host hotel: the Westin Chattanooga. 

Chattanooga and its surrounding areas also boast some considerable automotive attractions. We’ll be visiting Corky Coker’s Honest Charley Garage and the Coker Museum, Byron DeFoor’s extensive collection, the beautiful Savoy Automobile Museum, and the nearby Flatrock Motor club, where you’ll have a chance to get your car out on its impressive circuit.

We’re proud to have this new Smoky Mountain Tour on our 2025 roster, and hope that you’ll be able to join us June 8-13th to find what we’ve discovered in Tennessee.
