The Classic Motorsports Smoky Mountain Tour moves to a new hub for 2025: Chattanooga, Tennessee. The June 8-13 tour will be based at The Westin Chattanooga, located in the heart of the bustling downtown of the Scenic City.
What’s in store for this year’s Smoky Mountain Tour? Here’s a preview of the tentative itinerary:
Sunday: Relax, unwind and enjoy the amenities at our host hotel or hop right into downtown Chattanooga and see the sights. You can visit the Tennessee Aquarium, meander down the Riverwalk, or grab some coffee in a local shop. Once we’re all checked in and settled, we’ll head to our welcome cocktail reception and dinner in one of the hotel’s lovely dining spaces.
Monday: Today we’ll head west to Ruby Falls, the iconic roadside attraction at Lookout Mountain. From there, we’ll visit Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg and stop back at the hotel to freshen up before a dinner out on the town.
Tuesday: We’ll make our way to the infamous Tail of the Dragon; widely considered the ultimate driver’s road. At the end of “The Tail” we’ll sit by the river at the Tapoco Tavern and celebrate our achievements. Dinner will be on a Tennessee River cruise.
Wednesday: We’ll stick a bit closer to our home base, visiting a couple of local car collections and taking shorter route to venture out to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. How you spend this evening is up to you - see the sights, do a whiskey tasting at the Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery, take a guided ghost tour, learn to blow glass at Ignis Glass Studio, or just enjoy dinner in one of the city’s many great restaurants.
Thursday: For our final driving day, we’ll head southeast. Our destination will be the Savoy Automobile Museum, where we’ll receive a private tour from the founders. We’ll wind our way back through wonderful roads in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Upon our return to the hotel, we’ll have drinks followed by our farewell dinner.
