Classic Travelling – Vintage & classic car tours, scenic driving tours & holidays in the UK, Europe, and worldwide

Classic Travelling takes away the hassle and guesswork from a touring holiday. Your free time is precious and so you want to know that you will be driving the best roads in the area, staying at charming hotels, and that your car will have suitable parking each night. You want to know what there is to do, see and visit on each day of your trip, without having to do hours of research, or missing anything of interest.

The tour is organised, but you aren’t. This is no regimental exercise and you are free to spend your days as you wish, at your own pace, doing exactly want you want. All we ask is that you arrive at the accommodation we have booked on your behalf each evening.

We provide you with a tour book to help you make the most of your trip. This book contains your route directions and maps, accommodation information, and describes everything we think may be of interest to you, that you will be passing by each day. The tour book also gives you a little bit of history to the area, and may include some little anecdotes or stories about the places you are passing through. The idea of the book is to help you have all the information you need in just one place, and not be cluttered with various guide books, leaflets and maps.

The third day of the Italian Job Tour dawned sunny and warm, and proceeded to get warmer. We are now in Beaune, in France’s Burgundy (Bourgogne) region, where it’s a very pleasant 28C.

We started the day with a visist back at Pol Roger on the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay. This Champagne house is not open to the public so we were very honoured to be able to visit. This was all thanks to Nick James, Pol Roger UK MD and E-type owner – thanks Nick.

We toured the extensive cellars, and learned about the creation and production of fine Champagne, followed by a visit to the bottling and labelling section. We finished with a tasting of the Brut Reservee in magnums – as served for the recent royal wedding of the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge. And for those of you wondering about the title of yesterday’s post, Pol Roger was the favourite sparkling beveredge of Sir Winston Churchill.

We have then driven  195 miles through the sunny French countryside to Beaune, where we are staying at the fabulous Hotel Le Cep. We’re looking forward to a gourmet dinner tonight in the restaurant, before heading on to Geneva tomorrow.
