You know the best when you see it, taste it…and drive it. Take your position behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Gallardo and get ready to hit the road in Italy to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this super sportscar icon. Once you’ve mastered the art of driving this magnificent machine, you and your three guests, hosted personally by Far Niente proprietress Beth Nickel, will set off on a week-long course of speed, taste and style throughout the Emilia-Romagna region, home and birthplace of Lamborghini.

Your foursome’s journey begins with a professional track driving experience at your choice of selected locations in the United States, where you’ll command a Gallardo and learn driving tips from the pros. Enjoy round-trip private jet travel on aviation’s hottest jet, the Challenger 300, courtesy of Flexjet. Flexjet’s team anticipates every need, so your only requirement will be to sit back, enjoy the tastefully appointed cabin and settle in for your adventure.

Your experience on the track will prepare and inspire you to try your skills on Italian roads. You will depart via complimentary round trip air for four to Bologna, the center of Emilia-Romagna and a capital of Italian cultural, culinary and social life. A Lamborghini Gallardo awaits each couple for a self-driving tour de force of behind-the-scenes, personalized experiences. Of course, plenty of free time will be included to embark on your own adventures in Northern Italy, from art museums to the Italian Alps to the Autostrade - all from behind the wheel of your Lamborghini.

As an exclusive gift, you will receive a custom work of Jet Art by artist Tarinan von Anhalt inspired by a concept her husband Prince Jurgen von Anhalt invented more than 30 years ago. Jet Art is a unique artistic expression created by combining the force from a jet’s engine with paint against a blank canvas. The jet blast creates a fascinating texture only achieved by using the engine’s heat and force. Designed specifically for Flexjet and Auction Napa Valley, this piece was created earlier this year using the jet blast from one of the aircraft in Flexjet’s premium collection.

Finally, we’ll make sure you drive in style with an array of gifts from the Lamborghini Automobili Collezione. With an emphasis on sport-chic, this exclusive fashion line was developed in collaboration with top-end Italian fashion houses to offer something for everyone with a passion for Lamborghini.

Speed your way to an incomparable wine cellar with a Balthazar of Far Niente’s high-powered 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon, two imperials of Nickel & Nickel Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon and a double magnum of late harvest Dolce.
