Bay-Area Car Related Must See / Do's? Input Appreciated

[NvrDun71]

Was hoping I could get some input from local Bay Area/Cali members on some worthy car related stops I should make while I am in town next week? Long story short I will be in the area on my honeymoon and the future wife has given the ok for some car stops/detours since we will be doing alot of driving in and around San Francisco. Would hate to be in the area and miss out on a really cool shop, show, and or event only because I didn't do enough research in advance.

Any help or info is appreciated! :cheers:

Rent a bada$$ car and head an hour north to wine country if you've never been. Ya dont even gotta go drink, the countryside, cuisine is just beautiful. Go to V'Sattui, one of the best deli/cheese/specialty wines. Specially this time of year with the colors changing....

Good call, we hadn't initially planned on the Napa tour, but being so close seems like a no-brainer. Will look into V'Sattui as well :yes:

Unfortunately we won't have a Saturday there, but I bet that would be pretty awesome to check out esp from Treasure Island

Personal favorite of mine too. If you're headed there... drive a couple miles further to Gott's Roadside in St. Helena. Good burgers and shakes.

Also if you're sticking to the SF Penninsula... Take a drive down Skyline Blvd. and make a stop at Alice's Restaurant. Its a destination for lots of bikes and cars on the weekend. Never know what you'll see.

The Blackhawk Museum is amazing. Those cars blow my mind. So many 1 of 1 ever made... a few 1 of 2.

Blackhawk Museum is stupid crazy. Some of the most amazing iron I've seen.
