The Quail’s reputation is based on being much more than a conventional Concours. The Quail Lodge is a stone’s throw from the headquarters of the world’s largest producer of organic produce and is a neighbor of several of California’s leading wineries. The area is also known for artisan cheeses and other gourmet specialties. Drawing on these resources, the Quail Lodge culinary team creates a lavish feast that transcends mere gourmet food and wine and includes martini and tequila bars, espresso counters, gelaterias and other unexpected epicurean delights. Concurrent with The Quail, Bonhams and Butterfields will conduct a two day, multifaceted auction, in an adjoining structure, featuring fine jewelry, watches, automobilia and an exceptional selection of historically significant automobiles.
With a limited number of tickets available, the Quail provides an unequalled lifestyle experience that combines landmark automobiles, a culinary presentation able to please the most demanding palate, a setting contrasting rolling green lawns and rugged mountain peaks and the renewing of old friendships and the making of new ones in an incomparable atmosphere of serenity, luxury and exclusivity. We invite you to join us for this year’s seventh edition of The Quail and hope you become part of our tradition.
