What to expect:

Our day of exploration starts in the scenic Samford Village for a group breakfast at Spokes Cafe, home of Samford Cars & Coffee. Once we are fuelled for our adventure ahead, our group departs to immediately travel up the Eastern side of Mount Nebo before descending through the lush green scenery of Mount Glorious towards Lake Wivenhoe. Here we make our first stop at Splityard Creek Dam to take in scenery and views of the old structures.

The drive continues from Splityard Creek along the long sweeping corners around Lake Wivenhoe, heading towards Ravensbourne National Park. Following the technical corners that run up the ridgeline, we arrive at our second stop for morning tea - The Dairy Bakehouse. Housed in an historic shed within The Dairy Ravensbourne, we will savour handmade, artisan breads and pastries while soaking in the views of rolling green hills to recharge before the final leg of our journey.

Leaving The Dairy Bakehouse, we travel back down Ravensbourne National Park and turn South, winding our way down the side of Lockyer National Park and into Grandchester. Finally, we arrive at Homage Restaurant, where our journey culminates in an extraordinary, 3-course culinary experience. With a deep history firmly planted in the rich productive soils of the Scenic Rim, and a dining philosophy that pays enormous respect to the land, Homage restaurant is full of story, theatre and heart - the very same traits we value in our cars. At the conclusion of lunch, guests are free to make their own way home as they please, either directly via the Warrego Highway or by retracing the routes from the day.

We can't wait to have you along for this experience and give you a reason to drive.

Cars don't belong in garages.
