Ladies of ARPCA Wine Tasting Social – Saturday June 15
Come join the Ladies of ARPCA for a wine tasting social at Narcisi Winery. The tour and tasting start at 10:30 a.m. and lasts about 90 minutes. After a brief walk through the vineyards, we move into the tank room where the winemaking process is explained. The tour ends above the tasting room in the private library where we sample 5 wines in progression to tantalize any palette. It is a very informative and fun activity that is wildly popular! Registration is limited and fills up quickly. The cost for the tour and tasting is $25 per person and includes a logo glass for each person. Anyone wishing to stay for lunch is welcome to do so at the individual’s cost. Please indicate on MSR if you plan on staying for lunch so sufficient reservations can be made in advance.

PVGP 2019 Registration Now Open – Friday – Sunday July 19-21
Plan to attend the 37th annual Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix with ARPCA. Join hundreds of your fellow club members, guests from other regions, and friends as we gather on “Porsche Field” in Schenley Park to enjoy our cars, vintage races and the camaraderie that defines PVGP weekend. Now is the time to register and mark this event on your calendar. The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is our club’s largest fundraiser of the year with proceeds donated through the PVGP charity to the Autism Society of Pittsburgh and the Allegheny Valley School. This year promises to be an outstanding event with new amenities geared toward making your experience more enjoyable. The club’s PVGP Committee is planning a streamlined check-in process where attendees register through Motorsport Registration (MSR) and receive an email from PVGP_Reg@arpca.com with their dash plaque and QR code “ticket” as attachments. As members drive up to the Porsche corral, we will scan the QR code and have your wrist bands, raffle ticket, and PVGP program pre-staged at the Registration tent. The club will also feature a Dining tent complete with linen tablecloths and new catering partner, Mission BBQ. In addition, the Full Weekend Packagehas been discounted for 2019 while the balance of registration options remains unchanged from previous years. Remember, you must Pre-Register to guarantee a spot in Porsche Field. Parking is limited to 250 cars. With increasing attendance and large contingent from the Chicago Region this year, space is limited.
