The Quail, Motorsports Gathering

The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering is an annual event held during Monterey Car Week in California, typically in August. This exclusive gathering takes place at the picturesque Quail Lodge & Golf Club, nestled against the Santa Lucia mountain range in Carmel Valley. Since its inception in 2001, the event has been a celebration of automotive design, engineering, and camaraderie among enthusiasts from around the world.

The Quail showcases a diverse range of vehicles, from pre-war sports and racing cars to post-war sports, racing, and supercars, as well as custom coachwork and sports and racing motorcycles. Each year, the event features special themes that highlight significant milestones or anniversaries in automotive history.

In addition to the vehicle displays, The Quail offers a unique opportunity for guests to sample today's elite luxury cars on local roads, allowing them to experience the thrill of driving these exceptional vehicles in a beautiful setting. The event also includes exquisite cuisine, with culinary pavilions offering a variety of gourmet options for attendees to enjoy.

Held in conjunction with The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, is the annual Bonhams "The Quail Auction," where rare collections of fine automobiles and motorcycles are sold to the highest bidders. This auction provides an opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to acquire unique and valuable pieces of automotive history.
