Audi Club Northwest is excited to host the 12th annual Maryhill Loops Road Tour and Wine Tasting on Saturday, September 14, 2019.
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 14th, 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 Ayutla Mexican Restaurant (next door to the event hotel in Goldendale).
On Saturday we will tour the Maryhill Loops Road beginning with a drivers meeting at 8:30 am. On Saturday evening we will gather 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!
Waitlist New will be the new default ‘status’ upon signing up. When your registration is fully accepted, the state will be changed to Confirmed. Shortly after that, your credit card will be charged. During processing, we will continue to use On Hold for registrations where something is not quite right (missing membership, question on meals or vehicle suitability), and Waitlist Confirmed for registrations that are otherwise ‘ready to go’ and are simply waiting on capacity of the event (cancellations sometimes happen, so keep the faith if you end up on the waitlist!).
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.
Family and friends are welcome to come along and you can purchase lunch and/or 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 (https://audiclubna.org/join/).
Our hotel for this event is the Quality Inn in Goldendale, WA. It is about 8 miles north of Maryhill Loops Road. We have a block of rooms reserved at a group discount rate. Reserve your room directly with the hotel at 509-773-5881 by September 1st and indicate you are with Audi Club Northwest to get our group rate. After September 1st our rooms will be released and the discount will no longer be available.
Note: When meals are a part of our events, ACNW will attempt to accommodate special dietary requirements if requested. However, meals are provided by third parties and circumstances may not always enable ACNW or its vendors to meet every special dietary need.
If you have any questions about this event please contact the Event Master Carrie Stewart at stewart.carrie@comcast.net or 206-930-2262.
