Wine Country Classic Vintage Car Races

The best of wine country living and vintage car racing will come together once again during the 22nd annual Wine Country Classic vintage car races at Sonoma’s Infineon Raceway, May 31–June 1.

For one low ticket price, you’ll not only get access to some of the most exotic and vintage race cars in the world, you’ll also gain entrance to the Wine Country Pavilion, featuring gourmet wines and foods from area purveyors. It will truly be a celebration of wine and vintage racing on the country’s most dynamic road course at Infineon Raceway.

In all, more than 250 vintage racecars some dating as far back as 1914 will not only be on display, but they will also tackle the 12-turn, 2.52-mile serpentine circuit in a full weekend of racing in nine categories.

The paddock will be open to the public free of charge so you will get an up-close look at these amazing machines and also get the opportunity to visit with the drivers. You can expect to see famous makes like Ferrari, Lotus, Alfa-Romeo and Corvette on-track through the weekend.

The price of admission into the Wine Country Classic not only includes entrance into the facility and paddock area, but also includes entrance into the Wine Country Pavilion, which will present the best of the wine country to vintage car racing fans by featuring Sonoma and Napa Valley’s finest restaurants and wineries. The pavilion will offer extraordinary wine and food tastings, cooking demonstrations and wine country accessories.

Admission to the Wine Country Pavilion is FREE with your Wine Country Classic event ticket. All proceeds generated from the pavilion, which will be located behind the main grandstand, will go to Sonoma County youth organizations through Speedway Children’s Charities, the charitable arm of Infineon Raceway.

The weekend will also feature a classic car cruise on Thursday and the annual Vintage Race Car Festival on the Sonoma Square on Saturday night. Car enthusiasts will also enjoy a variety of car corrals dotted throughout the facility during the weekend, including Ferrari, Mercedes, Corvette, Jaguar and Shelby Cobra, among others.
