Bentley Riviera Drive
An immersive Mediterranean driving escape.
This summer, Bentley shifts focus to the Adriatic. Throughout July and August 2026, we are setting up in Istria to offer an experience defined by raw landscapes and deep-rooted traditions. It’s a deliberate shift from the predictable summer circuit, built strictly around exceptional driving and authentic Mediterranean culture.
The drive dictates the experience. Routes are mapped to challenge and engage, cutting across Istria’s diverse topography. From high-speed sweeps along the coast to technical inland roads carving through centuries-old vineyards, the itinerary is precise. It balances highly focused driving with the necessary space to step back and simply take the environment in.
The culinary approach is practical, not performative. We bypass the obvious establishments for working olive oil estates, independent vineyards, and the local producers who actually define Istria’s gastronomy. It’s an uncompromising focus on raw materials, absolute craftsmanship, and the quiet execution of detail.
This is a direct engagement with the Mediterranean, anchored by serious driving dynamics. An experience stripped down to its essentials—uncluttered, highly capable, and executed entirely on the right roads, at exactly the right pace.
