We asked Barkdull to give us an insider’s view of this rare and exclusive event.Ĭoldwell Banker Global Luxury What distinguishes The Quail from other events happening during Monterey Car Week?Ĭraig BarkdullRegarded for its intimate, garden-party setting and relaxed, easily manueverable display areas set at Carmel Valley’s historic Quail Lodge & Golf Club, The Quail is sponsored by the world’s top luxury automobile companies, fashion and lifestyle brands and beverage companies. The heart and soul of The Quail is, of course, inspired by the amazing display of the world’s finest and rarest automobiles and motorcycles however, “it is really a lifestyle event,” he emphasizes. “We want those individuals to say, ‘I don’t care what other motoring events you attend throughout the year, but we must attend The Quail in August.'” “However, unlike many other motorsports events, it is not only known for its vehicles, but also for the luxury lifestyle and fine culinary components.”
“From its inception in 2003, The Quail has combined elegance, exceptional automobiles and an unsurpassed selection of the finest wine and culinary creations, bringing forth an extraordinarily unique experience for classic car aficionados and gourmets alike,” explains the hospitality veteran, fresh off the 2017 events of this past weekend (August 18-20, 2017).
You may or may not know it, but this is The Quail Rally - a two‐day drive comprised of vintage automobiles preceding The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. As a Peninsula Hotels Signature Event, The Quail has long been considered “the crown jewel in a whirlwind of historic Monterey Car Week events,” says Craig Barkdull, director of sales and marketing for Quail Lodge & Golf Club, The Peninsula Signature Events. It often comes on furious and fast - like the onset of fever - as a pack of pristine vintage cars whip around the Santa Lucia mountains and buzz up California’s famous Highway 1. If you have ever had the chance to drive California’s scenic Highway 1 on the Monterey Peninsula during Monterey Car Week, you are bound to come down with a serious case of auto envy.
