There are roads you drive.
And there are roads you remember.
For four full unforgettable days/ 3 nights, Apex Adriatica Grand Tour takes a selected group of drivers on a journey through some of the most spectacular roads in Croatia and Slovenia.
The experience begins at the Rimac Campus, one of Europe’s most advanced automotive and technology facilities, where innovation, performance and engineering excellence set the tone for the days ahead.
From the rolling hills of Samobor and the hidden roads of Žumberak, through the Alpine scenery of Slovenia and the vineyards of Vipava Valley, to the medieval towns and coastal roads of Istria, every kilometre has been carefully selected to deliver a perfect balance of driving pleasure, luxury hospitality and breathtaking scenery.
This is not a race.
There are no lap times, no trophies and no finish-line pressure.
Instead, Apex Adriatica Grand Tour celebrates everything that makes automotive passion extraordinary: remarkable roads, exceptional cars, unforgettable destinations and the people who share the same enthusiasm for driving.
Over 750 kilometres, participants will experience private luxury hospitality, curated culinary experiences, renowned wineries, luxury accommodation and some of the finest driving roads in the Adriatic region.
The journey concludes where the mountains meet the sea, surrounded by the colours, flavours and atmosphere that make this corner of Europe truly unique.
Four days. Two countries. One unforgettable Grand Tour.

The Apex Adriatica Grand Tour begins at the Rimac Campus, one of the most advanced automotive and technology centers in Europe. After participant registration, introductions, and the official start, the convoy heads towards Samobor, where lunch is planned at the legendary Gabrek restaurant.
After lunch, the route continues into the Žumberak Mountains, one of the most beautiful and least known driving regions in Croatia. A series of technical corners, forest sections, and panoramic viewpoints provide the perfect introduction to what awaits participants in the coming days.
After crossing the border, the route continues through the picturesque landscapes of Slovenia before arriving in Ljubljana, where accommodation is planned in a boutique hotel. The evening is reserved for socializing, dinner, and preparation for the alpine stage ahead.
