An elevated, fully curated rally experience designed for those who expect more from the road.

The weekend begins Saturday at the Porsche of San Luis Obispo for the rally Sticker Party and NMF Cars & Caffeine. Set against a high-energy backdrop, guests will connect, prepare their vehicles, and kick off the rally in true NMF fashion.

The rally heads north to Morro Bay for a drive down the embarcadero and photo stop at the Rock, continuing toward Paso Robles for our first stop at The Anderson Paso, a stunning castle-style winery just off Highway 46 West, where a private lunch experience awaits—bringing together atmosphere, architecture, and community in one unforgettable setting.

From there, the rally transitions into one of the most iconic coastal drives in the world. We then head up Highway 1 through Big Sur. Participants will stop at McWay Falls for a breathtaking coastal view, followed by a drive across the legendary Bixby Creek Bridge.

The journey concludes in Monterey with a one-night stay at the renowned Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, where the rally transitions into an elegant evening celebration. The finale includes a reception hour with hors d’oeuvres, a formal plated dinner, and a 30-minute charity auction benefiting Along Comes Hope, followed by an evening of music, dancing, and connection.
