About this event
North Star BMW Car Club of America
Road Trip Series 2023
There's no better way to enjoy your "Ultimate Driving Machine" than to get out on the road. It's even better when you venture out with fellow club members. Summers in Minnesota are brief. Make plans to hit the road and join in the fun!
Tattersall Trek - Saturday, May 20, 2023 - 10:00 a.m.
We are headed east to enjoy some Wisconsin backroads enroute to Tattersall Distilling in River Falls, Wisconsin. Yes, there is a Tattersall in Minneapolis, but they expanded into River Falls and have a beautiful 75,000+ square feer destination distillery and restaurant for us to enjoy (tattersalldistilling.com). We'll be on the patio for lunch followed by a tour of the distillery, which includes a tasting. Cost of the distillery tour is $17 per person (which is a significant reduction from their regular fee of $30 per person).
Our route to Tattersall takes us past some other interesting highlights along the way. First we'll stop off at an authentic Alpaca Farm (eagleeyefarm.net) where we'll tour the farm and come face to face with Alpacas and other unique animals. They have an amazing gift store with a wide assortment of alpaca wool items and even honey made from the farm's beehives. Farm tour cost is $15 per person. Next stop will be an artist studio where handblown glass is formed into magnificent creations (glassbypauly.com). After that we'll go to Tattersall for lunch and the distillery tour.
If the group still feels like more backroads driving after lunch, we'll head southeast and hit some of our favorite roads taking us back to the Mississippi River and back to Minnesota. As the first drive of the season, its going to be great to get back on the open road!
The ride departs from the Woodbury Jerry's Foods parking lot at 10:00 a.m. The address is 7760 Hargis Pkwy, Woodbury, MN 55129. Note this is a different location than the Kohl's in Cottage Grove where we met on previous drives. Please plan to arrive at Jerry's by 9:45 a.m. with your gas tank full. After a long winter, be sure to check your tire pressure too. We'll review the route, answer any questions, and hit the road.
When you register, be sure to add your passengers too. That will help make sure we have the right reservation count for the restaurant. Thanks!
