The Rally

A long weekend on the finest roads in the Southeast

Targa Blue Ridge is the Drive Passions rally: one long weekend a year, a field of fifty cars and their guests, and the mountain roads between Lake Lanier and Asheville.

We gather on the shores of Lake Lanier, rally north together through the North Georgia mountains and into the Blue Ridge, spend two nights on the Biltmore Estate, and rally back to Lake Lanier for one last evening together. Days are for driving. Evenings are for private dinners with people who love cars as much as you do.

  • Four nights of hotel: two at Lanier Islands and two on the Biltmore Estate
  • Four private dinners, one every evening
  • A planned route to the Biltmore and back, through the North Georgia mountains and the Blue Ridge
  • The company of a hand-picked field
