Auberge Resorts Collection and Black Tomato want you to hit the road in a stunning Mercedes.

The brands have teamed up to create "Remarkable Drives of Discovery," a set of five road trip itineraries that take travelers to Auberge Resorts Collection properties throughout the United States. Each itinerary, the duo explains, is paired with curated programming from Black Tomato. The best part? Guests will get to test drive some of the newest models in the Mercedes-Benz fleet, including the GLS600 Maybach, and take to the skies with Surf Air as well.

"Following a year of limited travel, multi-stop trips allow guests to discover more of the beauty that this country has to offer," Craig Reid, president and chief executive officer, Auberge Resorts Collection, shared in a statement. "With the expertise of Black Tomato, we've conjured up some of the most exquisite stateside journeys, so guests can experience multiple destinations in one trip, all while staying at our award-winning Auberge properties."
