You don't need a race weekend to be around great cars. The Bay Area has three cars-and-coffee meets worth setting an alarm for, and one that's worth driving two hours to reach.
Blackhawk, Danville
Blackhawk, Danville
The blue-chip meet. First Sunday of every month, 8–10am. Show up at 7:30 for a parking spot. Expect Singers, F40s, and the occasional McLaren F1.
Canepa, Scotts Valley
Canepa, Scotts Valley
The pilgrimage. Bruce Canepa's museum-workshop opens twice a year. Worth the drive from anywhere in Northern California.
The Coffee
The Coffee
Bring your own. The onsite carts are fine but not great. If you're in Danville, stop at Peet's on Hartz Avenue on the way in.
