Presented at Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, WV

This year the “Gathering of the Faithful” returns to the AAA Four Diamond Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Take a nice drive and leave the city behind while you drive your Porsche to this romantic country inn offering European elegance and world class service from its scenic location perched on a bluff overlooking the Potomac River. Here we will hold the next Potomac Porsche Club car show where everyone wins a door prize, socialize, eat & drink and enjoy the sites. The 11 acre grounds include an Infinity Pool and Bar, Tennis Court and multiple formal and casual dining options. Located in historic Shepherdstown, W.V. the alpine-style inn is only an hour from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, and minutes from Harpers Ferry, Antietam Battlefield and Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races. The Bavarian Inn has proudly won many awards, including a AAA Four Diamond and Wine Spectator's "Best of" Award of Excellence."

For those wishing to make a weekend out of the trip, luxurious accommodations can be made through the Bavarian Inn website at The Bavarian Inn WV.

The Bavarian Inn Restaurants will be open for dining the day of the event.

PLEASE CALL AND MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR LUNCH IF YOU PLAN TO EAT!!!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

PCA National Announces the PCA Experience in Conjunction with Potomac’s PorscheFest – 3 August 2019 Michael Kaunitz is looking for a total of about 50 people to volunteer (split into multiple shifts) to help run the PCA Experience. None of the jobs will be intensive or require special skills. Volunteers will receive a special event shirt and get a free lunch and beverages. Please reach out to mkaunitz@pcapotomac.org if you or someone in your family is interested in helping.

We are very excited to announce that in conjunction with our region, PCA National is going to be launching a brand-new event called The PCA Experience.

This event will take place the Saturday of PorscheFest (August 3rd) and is designed to introduce the larger Porsche community to the PCA lifestyle. Just like in years past we will have driver education, autocross, and drive and dine events that weekend but PCA National will be adding to the “fest” for sure.

The Summit Point Washington Circuit will be home to a massive festival - with food, music, activities for the spouses and kids, concours, rare cars, dealer displays and much more. Additionally, these visitors will be able to sign up to do parade laps on the Jefferson Circuit.

One of the great components of this event will be the “experience” tours for these visitors. Shuttle buses will be taking them to the Autocross pad to watch, and to the Summit Main paddock for a guided tour of the driver’s education program.

Summer Rally is Ready!

Following the success of the first event to Little Washington in March, our second Drive, Dine & Wine event of the year to the new Skyline Vineyard Inn destination at Little Washington Winery, VA, will take place on Saturday June 29th. The drive from Manassas to the refurbished Skyline Vineyard Inn will travel through some of the most scenic parts of Virginia horse country. At 11am, you’ll enjoy an introductory wine tasting session designed to help you select a wine to accompany your midday lunch, delivered to you from another favorite; The Inn at Little Washington.

Around 1:30pm, more fun begins with a new Wine Class called Triple Threat: Chocolate, Cheese & Wine. We'll taste all of our favorites: cheese and chocolate and wine, all together to see what it does to our palate. Somebody's got to do it, right? Learning how to appreciate flavors, as well as being able to pair them well, is a most enjoyable hobby.

A fabulous drive, wine tasting, lunch, cheeses and artisan chocolates from the nearby Wine Loves Chocolate store. What’s not to love? You can register here. This event is limited to 20 cars, so please register and place your lunch orders as soon as possible!

Special Note: Lunch orders are placed upon registration for the event. For Registrations after June 19th, box lunches /backpacks/baskets from the Inn at Little Washington won’t be available, but you can pack your own lunch if you so desire. Note there are no food options at the destination – you preorder, or Bring Your Own!
