Audi Club Northwest is excited to host the 14th annual Maryhill Loops Road Tour and Wine Tasting on Saturday, September 11, 2021.
The Maryhill Loops Road Tour is your chance to drive your car on the first macadam asphalt paved road in the Pacific Northwest! Owned by the Maryhill Museum of Art, it is generally only open to pedestrians and bicyclists (or crazy skateboarders!), but on Saturday, September 11th, ACNW has private use of the road. Over 2.8 miles and 25 curves (8 hairpins) the road rises 850 feet to its highest point. The drive on the Maryhill Loops Road is a tour so no helmets are required (or allowed), convertibles are allowed, and passengers are allowed and encouraged to come along for the fun!
On Friday we'll all get together for a no-host, optional group dinner at 7:00 pm at a location to be determined (provided COVID-19 regulations allow).
On Saturday we will tour the Maryhill Loops Road beginning with a drivers meeting at 8:30 am. On Saturday evening we will gather outside on the Maryhill Winery terrace for wine tasting and a catered dinner. This is an ideal way to relax and visit after a good day of fun driving!
We limit the number of drivers at this event to ensure a great experience for all! Because the event is so fun and we limit entries, the event will sell out quickly so be prepared to sign up right when registration opens!
Each person who wants to drive on the Maryhill Loops Road on Saturday must complete their own registration. Drivers will be divided into two groups that will alternate driving on the loops road. If you are sharing a car, you and the other registered driver will be assigned to different groups so that you may each have the opportunity to drive the maximum number of times on the loops road.
Fees for this event will be $170 for the day including the Loops Road tour, lunch, wine tasting and dinner. Family and friends are welcome to come and ride along on the Maryhill Loops Road and you can purchase lunch and the wine tasting and dinner for your guests for an additional fee even if they are not going to drive the Loops Road.
Audi Club North America (ACNA) membership is required for this event. Drivers who are not yet members, or who need to renew an existing membership, may handle that using the Audi Club North America website (Join/Renew ACNA).
