HSCCA 2014 National Run – Wine Country

Hi Fellow Honda Enthusiasts,

The Honda Sports car Club of Australia plans to hold a National Run later this year and is keen to know if you are coming along.

The idea is to visit 3 of Australia’s finest wine areas and have 7 days and 6 nights of fun along the way.
We plan to start in the famous Coonawarra area, then move onto the fantastic Barossa and finish up in wonderful Mc Laren Vale. The event will include driving on some brilliant roads in SA (including Targa stages) and partaking in some of the very best regional restaurants in Australia.

The basic itinerary is a draft only at this stage but will look like-

Sun 7 Dec 2014 PM- Meet in Penola, settle into our accommodation and get to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones, followed by an easy dinner at the local pub.

Mon 8 Dec AM- Drive to Naracoorte Caves for a look, then picnic lunch at the caves.

PM- Barrel tasting and winery tour at Katnook.

Dinner tonight at Pipers of Penola which has won many awards and is outstanding.

Tue 9 Dec AM- Head off on some great back roads for the Barossa. Including a ride for us and the cars on a “punt” across the Murray.
Take in a few Targa stages on the way to the Barossa.

Wed 10 Dec AM- Scenic drive to the historic Collingrove Hill Climb.

Lunch at Pindarie Winery.

PM- visit to Langmeil Winery and hopefully a private car collection.

Thu 11 Dec AM- Drive some Targa stages to National Motor Museum Birdwood. Maggie Beer Picnic hamper lunch in the grounds.

PM - More Targa stages to Mc Laren Vale.

Dinner down in the cellar at Victory Hotel.

Fri 12 Dec AM – More Targa roads with a run up and maybe down Wickhams and Sellicks Hill plus a drive along the coast, watch out for the whales.

Lunch at Oxenberry Winery,

PM Visit to Scarpantoni Winery for a barrel tasting.

Dinner at Salopian Inn or the Barn.

Sat 13 Dec - Head home or spend some more days in Sunny SA!

After two long years of no air-con i can now attend a NSX meet in my actual NSX! Two years of driving on only clear cool days has come to an end, all down to a loose wire. Yes, should of found it a hell of a lot sooner but other projects always popped up.
Look forward to the event and catching up with many of you.

Thanks Ekers and ROLZ look forward to seeing you on the run.

Hi Scott, Thanks for organizing a wonderful event fun was had by all. Even though Brenda and I only joined the Adelaide leg it was great to meet and spend time with a wonderful bunch of people.

Many thanks Scott and Julie and Michael and Pia from Scarpantoni Wines for their hospitality.

Hi Scott,

Thank you and Julie for arranging such a fantastic trip thru the wine districts of South Australia. It was great to meet up old club friends and meet new NSXC enthusiasts.
All the drives were terrific as were the vineyards and restaurants you had put in place.
It's a shame we cannot encourage more Victorians on these National runs.
Until the high country run cheers and many thanks again.

Best Regards to Both,

Ian Q.

Almost made it....pics please?

Very sorry you had to miss it at the last minute.
Pics are coming and so is Xmas!

Finally found some time to put up some Happy Snaps of the trip.
Great fun and Thanks to all who came along, its always the people that make these events and as usual that stands true!

Big Thanks to Katnook Estate at Coonawarra and Scarpantoni Wines in McLaren Vale for their support, hospitality and friendship...oh and some really nice wines!
The people who came along for the whole run should by now have received a surprise pack from either Katnook or Scarpantoni...enjoy!

Looking forward to the next one, Andrew has talked about a High Country Run and I had a visit to Bathurst 12hr Endurance race a few weeks ago and that would make a perfect trip next Feburary.
