Florida may be best known for sandy beaches, orange groves, a larger-than-life mouse and alligators in virtually every body of water, but that’s not all the Sunshine State has to offer.
Instead, our Classic Motorsports Orange Blossom Tour takes you on an exploration of the Florida you never knew existed, including one-of-a-kind destinations, first-class cuisine and hidden gems known only to longtime residents, all from behind the wheel of your favorite car.
Our 2026 Classic Motorsports Orange Blossom Tour takes place this week, March 8-13, with Tuesday, March 10, the second day of driving.
Here's a look at what you missed out on:
The day began by heading southwest toward Florida’s Gulf Coast for a unique destination located in Sarasota Bay: The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, a sprawling complex built by John Ringling–of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus fame.
Lunch was enjoyed on the property at the Ringling Grillroom before we set the tour group free to tour the museums.
There was one more stop before heading back to the hotel, another private collection. As opposed to the collection visited on Monday, this collection could be best described as “small but mighty.”
After viewing the collection–and learning about its history and how the cars are maintained–it was a short jaunt back to the hotel for the evening.
Our tour participants had the night off to choose their own adventure–whether that meant venturing out or staying close by the hotel.
The Classic Motorsports Orange Blossom Tour is presented by Classic Motorsports Road Tours in association with Chubb Insurance.
