Back in 2019, I organized an F-Type meetup in Sonoma. Turnout was pretty good with 11 F-Types at the Valley of the Moon Winery.

I as a well as a few others are going to be particpating in British Steel V in Napa.

Usually, the even is done around noon, so I'm thinking an open F-Type meetup somewhere in the Napa area around 1:00 PM. Who is interested? I'd be looking for a place that can handle about a dozen cars and won't break the bank.

 

That sounds great, Vik!

 

I've an idea. And that's getting some stuff done to my car before you people see it again. Yikes. LOL

For that event, 100 miles in the AM, and then a drive in the PM is a lot... are any spots left for post 2000 cars?

So, I've not read other suggestions, but my Wife works with Four Seasons Calistoga. My idea would be to ask if we could line up the cars here.

Then eat lunch at Truss, which is amazing and has one of the best smashburgers I've ever had. Elusa is a wildly tasty winery with old world expression and sub 15% cab franc or cabs, which is a working functioning winery on property.

Then head north of Calistoga through Alexander Valley. For people who want to end at the 101, we end. But crossover to Anderson Valley via Cloverdale and Yorkville into Mendocino on the 128, which goes from bucolic, provencial rolling hills to avenue of the giants redwoods to the ocean. That's likely way too long a day unless you stay over in Elk or something, but at least through Alexander to the 101?

 

Fishbits, I like the way you think!

 

I agree that 128 from 101 to the coast is spectacular. You get the spectrum of oak grassland through riparian redwoods to the rocky coast. I also agree that it's a long day, particularly if you need to return home. The last time I did that was on a Ducati, with an overnight stay in Ft. Bragg, then a return on 20 through Willits. As an overnighter, it's pretty darn good.
