UPCOMING DRIVES

We’re the Schonesland Region and we do driving tours-as good as any region around, some people might say. Last year we took a chance on a new tour to the Red Wing, Minnesota area with a more laid-back schedule. By all accounts it was a big hit. So, we’re doing it again this September with a few new twists.

For twist number ONE, as many of you may already know, this event will be our 2023 Fall tour, rather than our fantastic Wisconsin tour, which is coming up in mid-July. TWO, this trip to Red Wing will be one day longer, beginning on Thursday, September 28th for those who can get away that day. THREE, we have a REALLY good drive lined up for Friday, Sept 29th all over those curvy, hilly Wisconsin roads just across the Mississippi River from Red Wing. Except for one small stint, these are all new roads not driven last year. And FOUR, for those who want to be really adventurous, we’ll be driving early (quite early!) Saturday morning on September 29th, to the Chanhasssen Automotorplex to enjoy their last Cars and Coffee of the season that just happens to sport a German Car Octoberfest theme. But the cars are NOT the main attraction at this facilityit’s the over-the-top garages and man caves that you’re really going to enjoy.

There is no planned afternoon event after the Cars and Coffee you’re free to do whatever you wish for the afternoon. “Like what?” you may ask……Well, Prince’s Paisley Park is just four blocks away from the Automotorplex. You may select from four, different-priced mid-day guided tours at this landmark musician’s residence, recording studios and museum by ordering (online only) your tour pass at paisleypark.com. You’ll want to monitor their site so that when the tickets become available for Sept 30, you’ll be able to get one- they’re limited and very popular.
