Virginia Corporate Incentive

Two nights in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a supercar driving day, run for corporate groups, with the price quoted on application.

The base is a private mountain estate of twelve thousand acres, which gives a group the run of the place, and one of the dinners is served in the estate’s wine cellar. The estate also runs sporting clays, fly fishing and a golf course, which gives everyone somewhere to be when the cars are parked.

The driving day takes in the Blue Ridge Parkway, which follows the crest of the range with long views either side and was built in the 1930s as a scenic route rather than as transport, then drops into Draper Valley through forest and farmland. Team-building add-ons sit alongside: a curated moonshine tasting, which has more history in these mountains than most such arrangements, or an aerial adventure through the Appalachian canopy, which is the more energetic of the two.

Access to a full fleet of current supercars for the driving day, two nights on the estate, the cocktail hour, the gourmet dining including the wine cellar dinner and the onward chauffeur transfers are included; flights and the add-ons are not, and the price is given on application. Three days is an incentive trip rather than a holiday, and the estate’s size is what makes it work for a group: nobody is sharing the facilities with anyone else. October is the season, for the colour on the parkway, and the Skyline Drive through Shenandoah is close enough to add if the group has an extra day.
