Monterey Spring Fling

March 22-24, 2022

Monterey is one of California’s most scenic and historic coastal destinations, a place to explore and enjoy. From the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to Spanish-era adobes and John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row. We’ve planned a great route to get there, a lunch stop along the way, a fine hotel to house us, and an ideal seafood restaurant for a group dinner. And on the second day we include a visit to Canepa, an automotive nirvana in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Springtime also brings classic drives through verdant hills, a pageant of wildflowers, and the rugged Big Sur coast.

Day 1 starts with a drive on Highway 101, lunch in Paso Robles at Paso Market Walk (many restaurants to chose from), a tour inland on CA-25 east of Pinnacles National Monument, a rest stop in Hollister, and a run into Monterey from the north via CA-1. Lodging for our group is at the Victorian Inn in the Cannery Row neighborhood of Monterey Harbor. Our group dinner will be at the Fish Hopper Restaurant (700 Cannery Row, Suite K), a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

Day 2 has us venturing north on CA-1 along Monterey Bay to the restoration shop, showroom, and sports and race car collection of Canepa in Scotts Valley. Canepa is where the world’s best automotive artisans work to preserve important road cars and competition vehicles for generations to come. After returning to Monterey for the evening, we are free to dine at any of Monterey’s fine restaurants.

Day 3 is for the trip home with a drive down CA-1 through Big Sur and a stop for brunch at Nepenthe.

This trip is limited to 20 Porsches and 40 people. We’ve negotiated a discounted price for the hotel and the first evening’s group dinner. Cost per couple is $717. This includes: two nights at the hotel (king-size bed, double occupancy, afternoon wine and cheese, sit-down breakfast, underground parking, and taxes); the first night’s group dinner (taxes and tip included); the SBR activity fee; and registration fees. Our discounts required a nonrefundable contract. Therefore, refunds will not be available to participants unless a couple on the wait-list takes your place.
