Three days between Road,
Château & Gastronomy

Drive & Taste is a private automotive and gastronomic experience, designed for discerning enthusiasts.

Each edition brings together a select circle of crews around a carefully orchestrated itinerary, exceptional routes, prestigious venues, and the freedom to drive supported by seamless, invisible logistics.

The Loire Valley Royal Castle edition takes you to the heart of the valley of kings: from Friday to Sunday, between royal châteaux, Michelin-starred tables and forgotten roads winding along the river and its vine-covered hillsides.

Every detail · from the welcome pack to the evening wine pairing · has been crafted so that you have nothing to think about but enjoying the ride.

Day 1

Prologue: At the Heart of Touraine

The rally begins the moment you receive your keys. Upon arriving in Touraine, you join an exceptional setting and a group selected for their shared passion for automobiles and the art of living, within a 12th-century Templar commandery.

Commanderie de Ballan-Miré ★★★★

Built in 1180, the Commanderie de Ballan-Miré was one of the first founded by the Knights Templar and welcomed King Philip II of France in 1189. At the heart of an ancient forest on the doorstep of Tours, this exceptional estate sets the tone for the edition.

Dinner at the Commanderie

First dinner at a private table, food and Loire wine pairings, an opening statement.
