Audi Club Northwest is excited to offer the 18th annual Maryhill Loops Road Tour and Wine Tasting.

The Maryhill Loops Road Tour is your chance to drive your car on the first macadam asphalt paved road in the Pacific Northwest! Maryhill Museum's Loops Road is generally only open to pedestrians and bicyclists (or crazy skateboarders!), but ACNW will have 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 get together for a no-host, optional group dinner at 7:00 pm at D’Avanzo’s Italian Restaurant, in Goldendale.

On Saturday we will tour the Maryhill Museum's Loops Road beginning with a drivers' meeting at 8:30 am. For guests and drivers between groups we’ll provide a canopy area for Columbia Gorge winery visit suggestions. On Saturday evening we will gather outside on the Maryhill Winery terrace for wine tasting and a catered buffet 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.

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 during registration if they are not going to drive the Loops Road.
