On Sunday, August 2, 2026, rain or shine, the Shenandoah Region of Porsche Club of America will have a driving tour originating at the Verona Moose Lodge, Staunton, VA . The tour will drive through the scenic Western Augusta County with a stop at Bluestone Winery (located at 4828 Spring Creek Rd, Bridgewater, VA 22812). There’s an optional next stop at Smiley’s Ice Cream (located at 205 Don Litten Pkwy, Bridgewater, VA 22812) for dessert.
We shall meet at the Verona Moose Lodge located at 1510 Commerce Rd in Staunton. Plan to arrive at 7:45 AM. A continental breakfast consisting of sandwiches, muffins and coffee will be served as part of your registration fee. The mandatory driver’s meeting will be at 8:45 AM and departures shall start at 9:00 AM.
This drive is sure to become a favorite, offering winding mountain roads, switchbacks, elevation changes and beautiful views along well-maintained primary and secondary roads. The excitement begins in Western Augusta County as the route crosses the Alleghany Mountains into Highland County, known as the “Little Switzerland of Virginia,” then dips into “almost heaven” West Virginia before returning to Virginia. The 113-mile drive includes two rest stops and ends with rewarding stops at Bluestone Vineyard and Smiley’s Ice Cream.
The official drive will end at the Bluestone Winery. Please bring a picnic lunch which you may enjoy indoors or outside on the patio with gorgeous scenery. Directions to Smiley’s Ice Cream will be provided for those who want dessert. For the Buc-ee’s fans, this unbelievable store is very near Smiley’s Ice Cream’s location.
Registration Link Here. Registration closes on July 27th at 9:00 AM.
The $20 per person registration fee includes a continental breakfast.
We hope you can join us!
