"Come for the Cars; Stay for the People!"

October 24-27, 2024: CalClubs 2024 in Carmel-by-the-sea

This year JAG sponsored the annual CalClubs reunion for members of all California JCNA-affiliated Jaguar clubs. Members attending represented JAG and the Sacramento, Inland Empire, L.A., and San Diego clubs. Events included an arrival Reception at the Forge in the Forest restaurant, a day-drive to Nepenthe on the Big Sur coast, a drive through Pebble Beach with a BBQ lunch near the coast, an All-British Car Show on the lawn in Carmel Valley, Leaper Laps at the famous Laguna Seca Racetrack, a Jaguar-themed Cars & Coffee at Baja Cantina, and a "Fall Colors" loop drive up the Carmel Valley canyon with lunch on return at the Monterey waterfront. Several events were open to all other British marques, which swelled our ranks and helped us meet new friends and fellow British car afficionados. 

September 26, 2024: Sonoma-Napa Wine Country Getaway

This was an overnight tour through the Sonoma and Napa Wine Country. We launched from our meeting place in San Rafael, toured parts of the Sonoma, Napa and Chiles Valleys, visited wineries, and stayed overnight at the Geyserville Inn.

August 3, 2024: South Bay Drive and Lunch

We met up next to the old train station on Niles Boulevard in Niles, Fremont. From there the drive covered about 40 miles of visually and historically interesting roads in the East Bay hills and ended with lunch in a restaurant in the San Jose area. 

June 15, 2024: Sonoma Coastal Drive

We met in San Rafael and drove some of the wonderful backroads of Marin and Sonoma on our way to Russian River Vineyards in Forestville. From Lucas Valley Road we drove North along Tomales Bay. We made a stop in Tomales then continued North along the Sonoma coast and, finally, inland to the winery for lunch. 

May 19, 2024: Mystery British Tour and Drive

On May 19th the club led a Mystery British Tour and Drive. It took us over mountain roads, up Boulevards, and down the hill through the Redwoods. Then we took a highway along the coast until we reached our lunch spot. They were happy to see us there. 

May 4, 2024: Jaguar Corral at Laguna Seca

The Hagerty Car Show at Laguna Seca invited JAG members to attend, with VIP parking in a Corral set up for our club and 1-2 parade laps around the course. The weather, unfortunately, didn't cooperate, with intermittent showers that dampened the ground but not our spirits in this place so special to motorsports. Stay tuned, we'll return!   

April 7, 2024: Moss Beach Distillery Drive and Brunch

This popular annual event brought Jaguar caravans from four different meeting points around the Bay Area. We gathered at the Moss Beach Distillery restaurant for an ocean-side parking lot meet-up followed by a delicious brunch inside. 

March 23-24, 2024: Clovis British Auto Roundup 2024 & Fresno-Clovis Drive

Our second annual roundup in the Central Valley with spirited day-drives through the foothills and a regional all-British car show on Sunday.

March 9, 2024: March Madness Drive from Santa Cruz to Los Gatos

On March 9th, we had a wonderful and very exciting drive. From Santa Cruz we drove the most beautiful 28 miles imaginable up the Empire Grade, to Highway 17 North and then on to lunch at Nonno’s Barbecue. 

February 10, 2024: Valentine's Day Drive, Los Gatos to San Juan Bautista

Our first JAG drive of 2024, from Los Gatos to San Juan Bautista. We used county backroads and mostly avoided freeways, ending the drive with a delicious lunch at Jardines De San Juan with special seating on their beautiful patio.
