Napa Valley Auto Rally & Culinary Tour
By Eva Schlosser, Director at Large
Being a member of a car club means that you will eventually have the opportunity to do a Car Rally. Our club is no exception. We live in one of the world’s most beautiful areas and so we are proud to host the Napa Auto Rally and Culinary Tour. The title says it all, if you are an Auto Rally Enthusiast and a Foodie and love Trivia this tour is for you!
We are customizing a fabulous weekend tour through the world famous Napa Valley during the best time of the year – Spring! The valley will be vibrant blooming with color. For the folks who want to make a weekend of it, we have added a Friday event. Friday events begin at 11:00am with a tour of the De Rosa Art Center in Carneros and then head to Napa for a lunch at the famous Oxbow Public Market. Friday night will be on your own.
Saturday is the Rally and we will meet at 9:00am at Gotts Roadside Refresher in St Helena. Participants will get their instructions then head out for the day. Each car will receive a set of clues to locate as much trivia you can along the way. For you history buffs, the trivia is designed to include some of California's historical markers. You will want to gas up before you go because you will be covering 90+ miles. The Saturday rally is not complicated or technical. Think part poker run, part treasure hunt, part trivia quiz, and part crossword puzzle. Add a great awards ceremony at a winery at the end of the day with wonderful prizes, and you’ve got the idea! The rally will allow time for exploring in both St Helena and Calistoga as well as at the historical markers. This is a great getaway weekend and a great way to meet and spend time with club members. The Rally day will end around 5-6:00pm so folks will have time to head home for dinner.
You will have time to pick up your own lunch at the deli or restaurant of your choice. Dinner will be on your own.
We highly recommend you make a hotel reservation EARLY as rooms book up fast.
We suggest the El Bonita Motel in St Helena. Rooms start at $99 with a 2 night minimum.
There is an option if you choose to just come up for the rally day. Be sure to specify if you are coming for both Friday and Saturday or just Saturday when you sign up. Hotel arrangement are on your own.
