REDISCOVER CALIFORNIA. FROM PASO ROBLES TO SONOMA.

THE ITINERARY

November 2: Opening Night Welcome in Paso Robles

A California Vinter’s Welcome

Velocity Rally begins with a visit to the Sensorio light fields, followed by an exclusive opening night reception and Vintner’s dinner in the private wine cellars of Velocity Founder Jeff O'Neill's beautiful Robert Hall Winery, tucked into the rolling vineyard hills of Paso Robles.

You'll meet your fellow adventurers, and hear from Jeff and Robert Hall’s master winemaker on what goes into crafting a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon.

Afterwards, you’ll retire to your reserved guest room at Paso Robles’ newest boutique hotel, The Ava.

November 3: Paso Robles to Monterey Discovery Drive

The Insider’s Inland Roads

Day one traces hidden backroads that snake through coastal California from Paso wine country to the fog-cooled surrounds of Carmel.

Along the way, we'll stop at a 19th century rail depot, and then travel to the legendary Laguna Seca race track for a touring session through its meandering dips and curves before completing the day’s drive in downtown Monterey.

November 3: Dining Under The Sea

Private Dinner Under The Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Open Sea

No crowds. We’ve reserved the entire Open Sea for the evening to create an incredible dinner setting.

Just you, your fellow travelers, a gourmet three-course meal, and 1.2 million gallons of seawater filled with sharks, sea turtles, and schools of shimmering fish.

Post dinner, you’ll be able to roam crowd-free through the other exhibits at the Aquarium before retiring to your room at the nearby InterContinental Hotel.

November 4: Monterey to Sonoma Discovery Drive

Bay Area Backroads

On day two, we'll blend stints on the legendary Pacific Coast Highway with inland jaunts through redwood forests that follow many of the same routes that California's daring road racers competed on in the 1950s and 1960s.

We’ll duck into one of California’s most renowned collections of historic motorsports vehicles before continuing up through San Francisco and into the heart of Wine Country.

November 4: A Sonoma Celebration

Between Two Vines

Situated just across from Sonoma Raceway, home of the Velocity Invitational, sits Ram’s Gate Winery. With sweeping views of Sonoma and picturesque vines, Ram’s Gate provides an unforgettable setting for a final night’s dinner.

A cocktail hour will be followed by a gourmet winemaker’s dinner prepared by Ram’s Gate’s culinary staff and paired with Ram’s Gates award-winning wines.

After dinner, retire to your luxury room at the Lodge at Sonoma to prepare for the last day’s activities.

November 5: Last But Not Least

Wine Country’s Ultimate Secret Collection

After breakfast, we will be visiting one of the world’s most mind-blowing private collections of historic race cars and significant vehicles. Very few ever get to see this collection, so Tour attendees will be joining a very exclusive club!

Lunch will be provided at a private Sonoma club, with one last special experience for Tour participants before we say our fond farewells.
