Fresh Coast Grand Tour
Experience the beauty, history, and open roads of Michigan’s shoreline on the Fresh Coast Grand Car Tour, hosted by Gilmore Car Museum. Departing Friday, September 25 and returning Sunday, September 27, this curated three-day, two-night motoring adventure will take participants along Michigan’s scenic northwest coastline through charming lakeshore towns, winding backroads, and unforgettable waterfront views.
Join us for an unforgettable guided car cruise adventure featuring scenic drives, great food, and memorable experiences along Michigan’s Fresh Coast. Designed for enthusiasts who enjoy the journey as much as the destination, the tour includes carefully planned daily routes, guided car tour navigation materials, unique cultural experiences, and exclusive stops along the way.
Participants will enjoy two hosted dinners and two hosted lunches provided by the Museum, along with a Silver Lake dune tour, a sunset boat cruise on Traverse Bay, and a hosted vineyard wine tasting experience. Guests will also have time to explore local attractions, hospitality, and the natural beauty of Michigan’s shoreline communities.
Whether you are traveling in a classic car, sports car, or modern cruiser, the Fresh Coast Grand Car Tour offers the perfect blend of driving, camaraderie, sightseeing, and memorable experiences on some of Michigan’s most enjoyable roads.
Please note: lodging, fuel, and select meals are not included and will be the responsibility of each participant.
