About this event
Rally & Picnic Adventure with a Poker Twist!
Join us for a one-of-a-kind day of backroad driving, lighthearted competition, and a picnic with personality.
Scenic Rally Drive:
We’ll follow a 65-mile route through the rolling and twisty backroads of Sonoma County. The day begins at Sarmentine Bakery in Petaluma and ends at Ragle Ranch Park in Sebastopol, where we’ll gather for a festive picnic.
Poker Run with a Twist:
Along the drive, you’ll make four stops to shop for picnic treats—and collect a poker card at each one. After starting with fresh pastries at the bakery, you’ll visit a French cheese company, a beloved general store, and a boutique winery that produces just 1,200 cases a year. The three best poker hands at the finish win fun prizes!
Concours de Picnic:
Plan ahead and pack your finest picnic setup. Think creative table décor, Porsche flair, and personal touches. China, crystal, linens? Why not! You’ll scope out fellow picnickers’ spreads and vote for the coveted Concours de Picnic award.
No Rally Experience Needed!
This is a low-key, high-fun event. The official “rally class” is: Fun Seekers and Picnic Enthusiasts! All roads are paved, public, and in good condition.
