Off-Road and Other Adventure Driving Experiences
Monterey Adventure Getaways
It’s all the (road) rage – off-road driver training classes and
custom tailored experiences. Or if it’s speed you need, step out
of the 4-wheel drive vehicle and into a hot rod. Whatever experience
you want off or on the roads of Monterey, there’s a car waiting
for you.
Skip Barber Racing School
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
The classic road racing venue in majestic Monterey, California
is home to one of Skip Barber’s most popular driving school
venues. Driving exercises are held in the infield of the famous
circuit. Here’s where you will develop your car control skills
while you put your favorite high-performance sports cars to a
real road test. Skip Barber Racing School offers you an opportunity
to drive Vipers on the autocross to Formula Dodges on the race
track. Classes can run from one day to a week, or more! http://www.skipbarber.com/
Land Rover Experience Driving School at Quail Lodge
Try your hand at steep descents down a two-track trail, tight
hairpin turns with trees on each side, even climbing a pile
of logs with just three wheels touching become obstacles you
will overcome through lessons and programs, ranging from one
hour to multiple days. Programs are tailored for team-building
groups, individual or group lessons. Prices are reasonable
and packages are available. The school is open daily, from
9am to 5pm. Classes are subject to availability. To schedule
your Land Rover Experience call 831-620-8854.
You won’t want
to do your wine tasting tour of Monterey County before you
hit the racetrack or off-road course, but you may want to
lean over the tasting bar and recount your experiences to your
friends over a glass of great Monterey wine. For a listing of Monterey
wineries to help you plan your tour itinerary, check out
WineCountry.com’s winery
listings. You may even find an exclusive
online offer (or two). |
