Update:****Tour de Vin*****
Well,
The Tour de Vin executive planning committee held an emergency session this past weekend and.................... date has slipped again. :eek: Fact is we got a late jump on things this year (due to a number of issues that have come up :CRY: ) add the fact that it's tough the live up to the high standard we have set and that folks have come to expect at Tour de Vin. NEW Date: July 22 This should be the last time we re-schedule, we are going to this year’s location this week-end to plan things out then we will be posting the registration. Details will be provided on the BACCEVENTS site at that time. Thanks, |
Mike and Larry - thanks for all your hard work in putting this together. Best of luck in your recon trip this weekend. I am sure we will all enjoy the fruits of your labor.

What is The Tour de Vin? I don't think I've heard of it before. What do you guys all do? Is this some kind of club?
Thanks |
WHAT IS TOUR de VIN???
Tour de Vin is: Driving your Cobra on scenic back roads along with 40 or so Cobras Getting together and socializing with other Cobra owners & spouses/significant others Sampling area wineries Great BBQ FUN The format: Each group (flight) leave's the start location and each heads for 1 of the 3 destination wineries via scenic local back roads (usually 3 groups of 15 - 20 cars). Drives are typically 20-30 minutes and winery stops are typically 1hr. Once the hour is up then its on to the next stop on the tour. Once each group has visited all 3 wineries then its off to the final destination for a BBQ, games and raffles. hope this gives you an idea of what Tour de Vin is about...........FUN |
Hey Monster,
This does sounds like fun. Please let me know when you get all the details worked out. Thanks again, John |
This sounds great, let me know or I will track the progress, the event is something that I would want to attend!

Each year we have tried to explore new (different) wine regions. I failed to mention, this will be the 5th annual Tour de Vin and in the past we have visited Livermore Valley (twice) , Sonoma, and Amador. We are checking out a new region again this year (which is what takes the time in planning).
Keep checking here and on BACCEVENTS.com for updates and registration information................. |
Mr. Monster: I dabble in the wine business and would be happy to assist with the wine area/winery selection, if you desire. :p Rich
|
OK. I'll miss both of them. We have the other car events to go to. :) Ya'll have a good time.
|
It's going to be "hot in the hot tub".

I just saw the KTVU forcast for Saturday......105! I may have to punt.

Don't let KTVU spoil your fun, since when have the "weathermen "been right?
Seriously, Livermore has a number of micro-climates, the national weather reporting station is located at the livermore airport. The Temp between the airport and south Livermore (wine country) can vary by 5-8deg. The BBQ is in an adjacent valley which is typically 10+ deg cooler (with lots of trees). The drives are 25 mins each with 1 hr stops at the wineries. The wineries all have shade and air. All that said, it will be warm, so just...... 1) Pack some water, 2) if you can find a pump-up personal mister "EZMist" "MistyMate" etc get it. (these are great to have and are recomended for every Cobra owner) 3) Remember sunscreen and a hat 4) Neck cooler bandana's are great (those neckerchiefs with gel) see ya, Mike |
