2026 Tuscany PORSCHE Fest image

Organizing PORSCHE Tours since 1976!

Drive a new model 2026 Porsche for 10 days from Stuttgart across the Alps to Tuscany.  You’ll stay in a villa resort in Tuscany close to Siena and Montepulciano.  Not only will we have fun drives, but we will also participate in the local culture – it’s wine harvest time.  You will enjoy a cooking class, wine tastings and a guided excursion to Siena.  We will also drive part of the legendary Mille Miglia on our fun photo rally.  


This Fast Lane Travel tour starts and ends in Stuttgart.  We always recommend that you arrive a day early, if possible, to have time to relax, adjust to the time change, and enjoy the area (ask about our Early Arrivals Program that includes hotel, dinner and breakfast).  We recommend that you fly into Stuttgart (STR).  If you fly into Frankfurt (FRA), take the train directly from the Arrivals Terminal 1 in FRA to the Stuttgarter Hauptbahnhof Station.  The Steigenberger Hotel Graf Zeppelin is directly across the street from the train station.

NOTE:  Airfare is not included; however, your airport transfers in Stuttgart (STR) are included.

Our travel agency will be happy to arrange your air, train and other travel.  We can also quote travel insurance to cover your trip.

NOTE:  If you have a pre-existing medical condition that might cause you to cancel your tour, insurance must be added within 14 days of initial trip deposit.  Call 813 475-5989 for more information and travel assistance.
