6 Days / 5 Nights
26 September - 1 October 2027
Other dates may be available
This 6-day MX-5 Owners Club tour through Wallonia, Southern Belgium, showcases some of the region’s most memorable driving roads, fascinating history and hidden treasures. Highlights include a guided tour of the world-famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit, complete with parade laps, alongside visits to lesser-known but equally captivating locations such as Brûly-de-Pesche, the small Ardennes village that served as Hitler’s headquarters during June 1940.
The tour also spends time in the beautiful riverside city of Dinant, where dramatic Gothic architecture and stunning views along the River Meuse create one of Belgium’s most picturesque settings. Scenic driving routes through rolling countryside, dense Ardennes forests and winding river valleys are complemented by carefully chosen stops, with traditional ‘coffee stops’ being swapped with traditional chocolate maker ‘hot chocolate stops’!
Wallonia remains one of Europe’s best-kept secrets for driving enthusiasts. Its quiet, flowing roads, charming towns and villages, outstanding cuisine, world-class beer and renowned chocolate combine to create the perfect touring destination. The region’s compact size allows for enjoyable days behind the wheel without the fatigue of long-distance driving, while its relaxed and uncrowded character makes it equally appealing for both modern grand tourers and cherished classic cars.
Combining iconic motoring experiences, rich history, spectacular scenery and authentic local culture, this tour offers far more than the Belgium most visitors expect, revealing the hidden gems that make Wallonia such a rewarding destination to explore.
