June Wine Tour Run

After the fun we had on the Del Coronado Run some
showed interest in another run.
Let's take a count for a June Wine Tour run in Solvang.
In the past, We have headed up to Solvang on a Sat. morning
met in Solvang and started a planned route to the many different
wineries usually stopping for a pot luck picnic at the Fes Parker Winery.
After lunch, we complete the remaining wineries and end up in Solvang
for dinner. The groups I have gone with have opted to stay overnight
in Solvang and make the run back to home Sunday morning.
It makes for a really nice weekend getaway.
How's June 19th?

Kevin -
It sounds great I will let you know in a day or two if I can make it.

Just got reminded that the 20th is Father's Day
so we should probably make this just a Sat. day, the 19th, event.

Murph

Getting feedback that the Father's Day weekend is tough to do.
So let's try the next weekend June 26th.

Let me know if this will work.

I'm in for Saturday the 26th at least

OK, here's the plan:

Saturday, the 26th, we'll meet in the "valley" off the 101 Freeway just past the 405 junction at 8am Saturday morning and head up the 101/154 to Los Olivos, a quaint western town in the Santa Ynez Valley, once in Los Olivos we'll stretch our legs and gas up. After this short rest we'll head north from Los Olivos and turn onto Foxen Canyon Road. Here we'll start our Foxen Canyon Wine Tour. The Foxen Canyon Wine Trail is a great scenic country byway that travels through the vineyards and rolling hills of ten local wineries. We'll make our first stop at the Firestone Winery then the Curtis Winery and next we'll head to the Fess Parker Winery where we'll have our potluck picnic lunch. After lunch we'll head north and have a casual afternoon visiting the remaining wineries. After a great afternoon of fine wines, fine friends, and fine cars, we'll head into Solvang and have dinner downtown at the famous New Danish Inn at 6pm. Some of us will be staying the night in Solvang and others will be heading back into LA that evening. This should be a great day to experience some unique cars and unique So. Cal. culture.

I'll have a map and more detailed specifics for all who RSVP.
Let me know what item you plan to bring for the potluck picnic.

I assume this is in California. However, even if it was here in the South, inviting me on a wine run is like giving a blender to a two year old. v

Yes, it's in California

LJ--what's up honey? Have you lost your sense of humor now that you don't own a Spyder anymore? v

OK, we've got 5 cars going from the Speedster side plus a couple "off" brands as well
and I know Joe and I are going from the Spyder side.
Anybody lurking and waiting to sign up?
I'm trying to get an accurate count for food and drinks.
Hope to see a couple more Spyders on the run.
We are going to have a great time!

I will have Deli Sandwiches and Sodas for the Picnic.
If you can bring a desert or side that would be great!

Also, if anyone has room for a cooler in their car please let me know.
My Spyder is a little tight on space!

Oh, If you have an FRS 2 way radio you might want to bring it and don't forget the sunscreen.

Here's my cell if you have questions or get lost.

All the guys on the Speedster side want to make a challenge to all the Sothern California Spyder owners to take the car cover off and join the wine tour run with Kevin.

Will you be counted or counted out?
