Anyone else receive the Lexus email about the event weekend in Sausalito Mar 24-26??? I tried to use the "discount code" and it is not working at all..... I called the Lexus "concierge" line and they could only take an inquiry and said they'd get back to me next week.....

Is this an exclusive event? Never heard of anything like it haha

I purchased a full price ticket for one of the events as I suspected (correctly, as it happened) that it would sell out. After a couple of phone calls and an email received a refund for the 15% promised from the solicitation email. Will report back on the festivities for the one event I will be attending. (Did not see justifying buying the whole 3 day event package....).

They're taking notes from the Pebble Beach Food & Wine event that they're the official sponsor of every year. Seeing this is their 3rd annual event, it sounds like they're following the same type of format, but not as "grand" as PB. Tempted to go to the grand tasting on Sunday... $100 for all you can eat and drink isn't bad at all.

Attended only the Finale dinner event on Saturday night. (The event is a 3 day collection of wine tasting and culinary cuisine sampling.) On display there were pre-production versions of both the LC500h and the LS500h.

Here are a couple of pictures of just the cars:

Rudiculous

This sounds pretty sweet, would you recommend it for next year?

I would ..... Definitely keep an eye out for the event and assess if it is of interest. No clue where next year's venue will be; I only went to the dinner due to time restrictions and it is not cheap by any stretch and with the new models on hand the 2017 version was worth it to me.....
