Taking a time machine to 1766 | Shenandoah Valley Tour Day 2

For the second day of our Classic Motorsports Road Tours Shenandoah Valley Tour, we ventured over to Hot Springs, Virginia, to visit the historic Omni Homestead Resort & Spa, which dates all the way back to 1766.

Our tour guests were led on a tour of the property, featuring buildings in use since 1901, before enjoying lunch in the site’s Crystal Ballroom.

Then we departed the Omni Homestead for an early arrival back at the Hotel Roanoke.

What was next on the itinerary? That was entirely up to our tour participants–there were ample things to see and do around downtown Roanoke, and we encouraged our guests to see the sights, or stay in and see what our host hotel has to offer.

Exploring hidden wonders | Shenandoah Valley Tour Day 1

The Shenandoah Valley. Home to lush mountain views, underground natural wonders, a deep connection to the history of the United States and, this week, our Classic Motorsports Road Tours Shenandoah Valley Tour.

Monday, June 22, marks the first day of driving adventures, and we started that day by departing Hotel Roanoke en route to Natural Bridge, a 215-foot-high natural arch (and all that’s left of the roof of an ancient underground river) that spans some 90 feet in width.

After our tour-goers enjoyed a guided tour of the park and a picnic lunch on the property, we made our way to a private car collection located on a lovely farm. In addition to exploring the collection, our guests were treated to a metal forming demonstration in the collection owner’s shop.

To conclude the day, we headed back to the Hotel Roanoke, where we met to have dinner, just steps away from the hotel, before turning in for the night.

At first glance, our Classic Motorsports Empire State Tour looks a lot like a driving tour of New York’s stunning Finger Lakes region, and you’d be correct–but there’s so much more in store than driving.

September 6-11, we’ll lead you to a one-of-a-kind exploration of the Finger Lakes, including significant historic sites, exclusive access to private car collections, hand-selected dining experiences and, of course, plenty of twisty back roads to enjoy from behind the wheel of your favorite car.

You’ll also receive turn-by-turn navigation through custom-programmed GPS units, professional photography of you and your vehicle, plus a judgment-free, friendly group of up to 30 couples.

For a taste of what to expect for this year’s tour, here are some highlights from the 2025 Empire State Tour:
