If driving your classic sports car is your main passion, we invite you to join us for the Countryside Tour. Participation is limited to sports & GT cars produced in 1983 and earlier*
Bud Osbourne conceived the Countryside Tour in 2012 as part of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Bud has handed over the reins to Derek Kuntz and Marla Taylor-Kuntz.
The tour follows a delightful collection of scenic, twisting, lightly traveled back roads through Pennsylvania’s beautiful Laurel Highlands. Be advised that this is a DRIVING tour and not for the faint of heart. We cover many miles, and it’s all back roads at a brisk pace!

We are proud to welcome SanaView Farms Winery as a valued partner of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Countryside Tour. Nestled in the scenic Laurel Highlands, this historic 52-acre farm and boutique winery is known for its exceptional small-batch natural wines and memorable farm-to-table experiences. SanaView Farms Winery will be sharing their fine wines at a variety of PVGP events throughout the year, including the Countryside Tour, adding a distinctive local flavor to the festivities. We’re delighted to have them join the PVGP family and invite you to enjoy a taste of their remarkable wines this season.
Lunch at Jamison Farm
On Tour Day, traveling in groups of three or four cars to enhance both safety and the driving experience, we will build a good thirst and an appetite, which will be slaked during our visit to Jamison Farm on another country road near Crabtree, PA. Owners John and Sukey Jamison continue to raise lambs and serve meals on-site, and they are excited to be our luncheon hosts this year. John is also a British car enthusiast and has been a Countryside Tour participant for many years.
A very talented cook, Sukey Jamison has created a line of hand-prepared lamb dishes, including a Lamb Stew created in collaboration with the late, great Jean-Louis Palladin and Sukey’s award-winning Lamb Pie.
After one of our Countryside Tours, a participant was heard to remark: “This is sort of like driving the Tail of the Dragon, only a lot longer and more fun.” We would have to add: “And a lot less crowded!” Whatever you do, please don’t delay in registering, as we are limited to roughly 50 cars and those “slots” fill up pretty quickly.
*In the case of air-cooled Porsche 911s, Alfa Romeo Spiders and a few others, cars newer than 1983 are accepted because they are a continuation of the original design.
