Just throwing it out there...
I am definitely going to the Montpelier Wine Festival (been going for the last 2 years) held on the grounds of Montpelier, just outside of Orange, VA. Sat or Sun May 6-7...(thinking of Sat) More info here: http://www.orangevachamber.com/winefest.html Anyone interested in doing a meet around this? Its a great outing, lots of food and wine sampling and ample parking on the grounds...tickets are $12 in advance and $20 at the gate and $2 to park. Price includes general admission, a commemorative wine glass, tastings from each winery, and a chance to win a door prize. Alcohol is definitely allowed <Please drink and drive responsibly> I think its possible to section off parking especially for our meet, may have seen it before. Will check.

Free tasting all day...bottles are sold but you can get suitably plastered through the free tastings (a glass here, a glass there..it catches up to you ). Vendors push all sort of foods including crab cake sandwiches and fruit/cheese platters...Wife, friends and I always have a great time... Like I said, just putting it out there...

Sounds fun; unfortunately, kinda far. How about Wine in the Woods, in Columbia, MD. Same idea, just slightly closer for almost everyone. http://www.wineinthewoods.com/

thd13: Looks good, haven't been to this one. Perhaps we can arrange for sectioned off parking, I'll try and shoot them an email...need to know min # of people. Also some of our members have expressed difficulties with the dates 05/20 and 05/21.
Good find btw

I don't think you have to register/attend the concours to be there...just in case I'm gonna give my magnificent 156s an extra coat of wax
Did you check out the scheduled auto-x events, like the driver's school at VIR in conjuncton with MB and Audi Club?

jjhan85: You're not too late, we're still some time away from setting final time/place...we're still weighing options. Adding you to the master list.
Some of the listed members expressed regrets for not being able to attend on the initial feeler dates. As such, we all need to reassess the timing of the meet, as well as the ongoing discussion on location and activities. Still looking into a number of things but in the meanwhile...ideally we would like to have everyone make it. GUYS!! KEEP THE IDEAS ROLLING!!! THIS IS OUR MEET!!!
