In the course of a single week, one couple and a guest couple will experience the thrill of motorsports and the elegance of fine wine.

The adventure begins with five nights for the winner and guest couple at Monterey Car Week, one of the most anticipated automotive events of the year. The schedule is packed full of auto shows, auto memorabilia, VIP parties and new car reveals from nearly every luxury manufacturer. Even better, you’ll hang out with Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley and see many of the events through his eyes, beginning with a visit to his private garage followed by lunch.

You’ll accompany Jim during The Quail, set on the course of The Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel. The yearly event combines a lush setting nestled against the Santa Lucia Mountain range with exceptional cuisine and some of the finest examples of vintage sporting automobiles seen during the week.

Ford will host you during the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, held at Laguna Seca’s Weather Tech Raceway. In 2025, the Reunion gathering will be a significant celebration highlighting the 75th anniversary of Formula 1. It promises an immersive experience for visitors by capturing Formula 1’s thrilling legacy and explosive popularity on a global stage. Your party will have access to the track and paddocks and will attend lunch with Jim Farley at the Driver’s Club.

The finale of Monterey Car Week is the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, widely considered the most prestigious car show in the world and the pinnacle of competition worldwide. It is open to both prewar and postwar collector cars which are judged for authenticity, function, history and style. Approximately 15,000 spectators attend the event, and dozens of world-renowned luxury and supercar brands use the venue to officially debut new models and showcase their future concept cars.

The winning bidders will travel to Sonoma County with a personalized experience at Aperture Cellars. Before or after your trip to Monterey or at the time of your choice, you will spend two nights relaxing at the ultra-luxury Montage Healdsburg, an elegant wine country retreat spread across 258 acres of rolling vineyards and oak tree groves. You will be hosted by Lauren Wong, VP of sales and marketing, at Aperture Cellars for a special VIP tasting at the winery, where you can sample their award-winning Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and red blends.

Memories of Monterey Car Week will come alive every time you drive your Ford Bronco Raptor 4×4. With high-flying performance inspired by a 418-hp twin-turbo V6, the Raptor goes from zero to 60 in 5.6 seconds. Despite a 4,500-pound towing capacity and an outstanding off-road ability, the Raptor is extremely refined on the road. This SUV on steroids will turn heads while it doubles as reliable family transportation.

In addition, this lot includes two Magnums of Aperture Cellars Wines in 2022 vintages, a bottle of Bordeaux Red Blend and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Indulge your passions for the best in wine and transportation and help transport future generations to success at the same time.
