California Vipers Trip to Morgan Hill ~ Bay Area
September 29,30 ~ October 1, 2017


Dear SoCal, CenCal, and NorCal VOA Members,

We invite you to attend the 2017 California Bash three-region gathering. Your weekend begins with dinner and a Car show Downtown on Friday, September 29th and runs through brunch on Sunday, October 1st. Renew old friendships and make new ones during this fun and relaxing weekend in Northern California’s Morgan Hill area.

SoCal will add a Sunday night Hotel stay and come home on Monday as an option if your interested.

Morgan Hill is at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay Area about 20 miles south of San Jose on Hwy 101. This area has a beauty all its own. Home to rolling hills, arid open valleys, award-winning wineries and restaurants, and plenty of space for our Vipers to breathe. The Morgan Hill location was chosen to shorten the drives for our SoCal and CenCal members. Extend your stay with a visit to the famous Silicon Valley, San Francisco and other Bay Area attractions.

COST: $135 PER PERSON which includes

Friday, September 29th: Dinner in downtown Morgan Hill and Car show
Saturday, September 30th: Lunch and wine tasting at two wineries, and cocktails and dinner at the home of NorCal President

Saturday, September 30th: Meet at Starbucks (4 minutes from the hotel) at 10:00 AM to leave for our Saturday events. Get some coffee and, for anyone not staying at the hotel, this is a great opportunity to chat up our guests from other regions.


Cruise to Lunch and Wine Tasting: Take a spirited backroad drive to Sycamore Creek Vineyards where we’ll take a group picture, have lunch and sample our first wine tasting. Lunch includes salad and various wood-fired pizza. Work up an appetite and spark some friendly competition with a few rounds of Bocce Ball.



Cruise to the Second Wine Tasting: After lunch, cruise to the award-winning Castillo’s Hillside Shire Winery for another tasting and a memorable group picture on the rolling lawn in front of this European-style estate. We may even hear the owner’s wife singing a few opera songs while their daughter plays the guitar!

Cruise to the Hotel: Around 4:30 PM, take a very short cruise back to the hotel (only 5 minutes away) to prepare for a fabulous dinner party.

Saturday Evening: Dinner that night is at NorCal President Sanjar and Sheri Chakamian’s beautiful home. The Chakamians are famous in NorCal region for hosting amazing dinner parties. The gourmet dinner party will be held poolside to celebrate our bash and the Viper’s 25th anniversary, while enjoying and dancing to a few tunes from a trio ensemble.


Sunday, October 1st: This day open. Cruise to the optional no-host brunch, spend the day touring Silicon Valley and the Bay Area or head home early.
Cruise to the Brunch: Leave the hotel at 11:00 AM and head over to The Groove Restaurant by Leal for a no-host brunch under the olive trees. Conveniently located on Hwy. 156 which links to I-5 for those heading back to Central Valley or SoCal.

The cost for this weekend event is only $135 per person which includes fun activities, good food, great wine, and of course, awesome Viper friends! Sign up early and then look forward to joining your Viper Owners Association friends for a memorable weekend.
