What you’ll see
Nice, Monaco

Bonjour and welcome to Nice. The jewel of the French Riviera needs no introduction – its sun-kissed shoreline, staggering culinary scene and abundance of old-world glamour draw prestigious guests from around the world. Beloved by artists, aristocrats and architects alike, it’s unlike anywhere else in France. Spend the day at your leisure wandering the city’s historic streets and revelling in its extraordinary and inimitable character.

Check-in to the Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée, a five-star seaside retreat boasting an unbeatable location in the centre of Nice’s iconic stretch of beachside boulevard, the Promenade des Anglais. Dripping in old-world splendour, the hotel inhabits a refurbished, 1920s-era casino and offers one of Nice’s most sumptuous stays. In the evening, you’ll be picked up from the hotel and whisked across the border to Monaco, Europe’s dramatic high-roller paradise, for an all-inclusive cocktail party onboard the tour’s superyacht. Anchored in Monaco’s renowned Hercules Port, enjoy an evening of excellent conversation, world-class dining and electric anticipation as you and your fellow tourmates gear up for the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix.

Optional Activities:

  • Arrive a day early (Thursday, May 26) to enjoy dinner aboard the superyacht with two-time Monaco Grand Prix winner Mark Webber (from A$1490 per person).

Enjoy the morning at leisure – the perfect chance to soak up a little more of Nice’s sun-kissed ambience – before the approximately 60-minute transfer to Grasse, travelling northward from the azure waters of the French Riviera to the vine-covered hills of Provence. Famous since the 16th century for its coveted perfumes, the picturesque town offers travellers a unique glimpse into one of France’s most spectacular regions. Check-in to your classically Provencal accommodation – the exquisite, five-star Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort, offering boundless views over the Pays de Fayence region, an acclaimed championship golf course (voted #2 Golf Resort Club in Continental Europe by Golf World 2022) and a top-notch spa specialising in wholly natural, Parisian treatments.

Enjoy the hotel’s extraordinary facilities at leisure this afternoon before meeting at the acclaimed onsite restaurant La Faventia. Awarded one Michelin star in 2022, the restaurant blends a meticulous level of care and love of Mediterranean flavours to showcase Provence’s local produce, promising an evening packed with unforgettable flavours.

Travel convoy-style – with a dedicated lead vehicle ahead and sweeper vehicle behind – approximately four hours northeast to Alba, working your way upwards into the sweeping Maritime Alps on the French-Italian border. Along the way, you’ll cross through three of Piedmont’s most beautiful wine regions – Barolo, Barbera and Barbaresco.

At the crossroads between the Barolo and Barbera, tonight’s breathtaking accommodation awaits – the exceptional retreat Casa di Langha, surrounded by Piedmont’s sprawling vine-clad hills and truffle-rich forests.

Continue your drive through the winding, more technical roads of the Italian lake region, driving upwards past shining Lago Maggiore.

After this fantastic four-hour drive, cross the border into Switzerland and pull into tonight’s luxury accommodation – the Castello del Sole, a five-star lakeside retreat unlike any other. Perfectly positioned amid 300 acres of sprawling wilderness, and offering guests access to a private beach, winery and bird sanctuary – this is the perfect place to unwind and savour the serenity of one of Italy’s most gorgeous regions. Tonight, dinner is at the hotel’s premier restaurant, Laconda Barbarossa.
