PSMINI Presents
the Third Annual
Rallye des Montagnes du Nord


When: October 4th and 5th 2014 Meet 8:45, Drivers Meeting 9:15, Motor at 9:30

Start: Fred Meyer Monroe parking lot 18805 SR2, Monroe, WA

End Day 1: Pateros Lakeshore Inn 233 Lakeshore Drive Pateros WA 98846
End Day 2: I-5 (at Hwy 530) or wherever you need to break from the pack for home.

Cost: Nothing to participate. You just pay your way for meals, lodging and wine tasting fees (if applicable). See hotel details below. Dinner: Dinner needs to be pre-paid using this link http://www.psmini.org/forms/RdesMduNord2014Dinner.php

Overview: Fall is fast approaching and what is better than going for a twisty drive through the gorgeous northern Cascades on a beautiful fall day? Oh, wait, maybe stopping at a few wineries along the route for some great wine tasting and social time! This is also a great opportunity to replenish your wine cellars for winter after the long summer.

Day 1 - Monroe to Pateros
We'll make our way east on Highway 2 on some beautiful back roads to beautiful Lake Chelan. Oh, and of course, we'll be stopping at a few wineries along the way including Napeequa Vintners in Plain and and Tsillan Cellars in Chelan where the grass is always green and you might very well think arrived in Tuscany. A group dinner is planned to cap off the day (location to be announced, not mexican this year ;). At the end of the day we'll arrive at Pateros Lake Shore Inn for our overnight (see below for booking details and rates).

Day 2 - Pateros to Arlington with a stop in Winthrop
We will depart west to Winthrop on the scenic SR20 for a bite to eat and some time to explore, get some shopping in, and visit the Lost River Winery in this historic old west themed town. We'll then continue on SR20 with a stop at the Liberty Bell Overlook for a photo opportunity and scenic walkabout (no government shutdown this year!). After the photo op we continue west arriving at SR530 and I-5 where each motorer can reflect on this excellent fall weekend as you depart for home.

Throughout the trip we will be stopping at various wineries! Some of these wineries charge a tasting fee averaging $5. Please bring cash as that helps keep the tastings flowing. We'll post a full list of the wineries as we get closer to the event.

What to Bring:
    - Full tank of gas
    - Camera
    - Sunscreen
    - 2-way radio (channel 7-21)
    - Sunglasses
    - Jacket (evening may be cool on the lake)
    - Window cleaner (yes, there will be bugs!)
    - Exact change is appreciated at the wineries that charge a small tasting fee.

Hotel Info:
Same as last year, our lovely hotel right on the lake is the
     Pateros Lakeshore Inn
     233 Lakeshore Drive
     Pateros WA 98846
     509-923-9555 or 1-877-923-9555
     http://www.pateroslakeshoreinn.com/

A block of 20 rooms have been reserved for our group and are split between double-queens and kings.

Our group rate is $116.10 plus tax. Please call the hotel directly and ask for the group rate. The group rate is booked under Puget Sound MINI Motoring Club (PSMINI), please mention it when booking for this great rate.

Dinner at Sorrento's (at Tsillan Cellars) in Chelan on Saturday
Please pre-pay for dinner using this link: http://www.psmini.org/forms/RdesMduNord2014Dinner.php

So far it sounds like eveyone has plans to attend the dinner. Please use the link above to pre-pay for dinner. Cost is $45.45 per person (includes gratuity and taxes). Dinner will start around 5:30 following our private wine tasting on the winery grounds.

The menu will include the following 3 course meal:
Salad - choice of Tuscan or Caesar
Entree - Choice of Chicken Marsala, Cod Putanesca or Chicken Mushroom Linguine Alfredo
Dessert - Tiramisu (chef will also be adding dairy free option)

Wine servers have agreed to do individual wine tabs for guests so you can just order off of the wine menu as your please.

Rob and Terri will be happy to join you all on this adventure.  We will meet you in Monroe and tag along for both days.  Potentially two for dinner but may meet my son and his family for the evening meal.  Lunch plans?

UPDATE - We will join the group for dinner... lodging reservations have been made.

Stay tuned on lunch Saturday, but tentatively planning on lunch in cashmere at our favorite local BBQ joint. Please note we need a solid head count for Saturday dinner from all attendees.

Very excited to join the crew - the hubs and I are in!  Now we are just "fighting" over which MINI to take on the trip.

I'll make the hotel reservation later today.  Count two of us in for both days and dinner!

It would seem an easy choice if your signature is accurate. For these twisties you want the F56.

Yes! I am dying to take my new F56 for a ride - he's barely 3 days old.  The hubs will have to settle for co-pilot or bring his own ;)

No Mexican because the last 2 years the service has been terrible at the Mexican restaurant. I don't think they can handle the crowd.

Hi. I plan on doing this but may be solo.

So... Who wants a ride in the Coupe?
and, more importantly, anyone want to split the cost of a room? I prefer separate beds ;)

Hi gang. We are up to 15 cars now and close to 30 folks for this drive coming up in October. Don't wait to book your rooms and commit. We took a pre-drive on Sunday and the route is awesome with some new roads this year and new places to visit. The leaves are beginning to change and there is only minimal wildfire smoke in the Leavenworth area with clear skies everywhere else.
We also have an awesome dinner planned at Sorrento's Ristorante at Tsillan Cellars in Chelan Saturday evening that you won't want to miss (look for details this week!). Sorrento's was selected as one of the top 100 restraunt views in America recently.
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing the event details and route shortly. Stay tuned!
