About Us
Valenza Privé is a members’ club for owners of interesting cars, and for the company they keep. We run small, fully supported tours on the finest roads in the UK and Europe, from the Alps and the Highlands to Wales, Ireland and the Cotswolds.
Between the tours there will be a year of dinners, lunches, experience days and private events, so the people you meet on the road become the people you see again. Membership is by application and introduction, every application is read personally by the team, and memberships are capped year on year.
The standard
These are the five pillars every tour is built on, and we hold ourselves to every one of them.
Slept in by us before it is sold to you. If one falls short, we move you and tell you why in writing.
Chosen, tasted and worth sitting down for. Never a buffet, never a menu written for a coach party.
Behind a locked gate or under a camera. Every night, on every tour, without you having to ask.
Every tour is fully supported by the Valenza Privé team, with decades of touring experience between us.
Driven in full, in season, before a member sees them.
Membership is free until 31 December 2028, and every application is read personally by the team.

Our mission
Too many fine cars spend their lives under a cover. We love to see them driven properly on roads we have driven first, with the hotel, the dinner and the secure parking already taken care of. All that’s left is the experience, the memories and the friendships built for a lifetime.
The people
Drives a McLaren 540C
Johnny is the co-founder of Valenza Privé, bringing more than 30 years of experience across luxury motoring, international travel and exceptional hospitality. He has built an enviable network across the automotive, aviation, yachting and luxury travel worlds.
He leads the club's tours, from the planning and the partners behind them to the running of each day on the road, and its business development. With extensive European road experience and a lifelong appreciation for remarkable cars, fine dining and beautifully executed tours, he brings discretion, judgement and an instinct for making extraordinary experiences feel effortless.
Drives a McLaren 570GT
Aubrey is the co-founder of Valenza Privé and has been passionate about motoring for as long as he can remember. He is happiest out and about with an engine doing the work, on four wheels, on two, or at the controls of a light aircraft as a private pilot. Twenty years of touring on two wheels, four wheels, or with wings, have taken him across Europe and the length of the United Kingdom.
He looks after the commercial side of the club, its brand and its membership. He holds that the difference between a good tour and one a member still talks about years later is rarely the itinerary, it is the hundred small things nobody is meant to notice.
Finds the roads the maps do not mark, and drives every one in full, in season, before you do.
Looks after the hotels, the timings and the welcome at the end of a long day on the road.
On the road with you on our larger tours, with manufacturer-level care on hand should your car stop or need attention.
Films each tour, with your consent, so the best days on the road are yours to keep.
