The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering

Produced by Peninsula Signature Events, The Quail is recognized as one of the world's most exclusive automotive celebrations, combining a refined garden-party atmosphere with a world-class field of entrants. The 23rd edition in 2026 showcases an array of rare motorcars competing for the Best of Show title, which was awarded to a 1957 Ferrari 625/250 Testarossa. The event is characterized by its intimate setting and its role as a premier venue for luxury brands to unveil new models.

Specific highlights for the 2026 gathering include featured classes celebrating the 100th anniversary of Route 66, the Lamborghini Diablo, and the legacy of Japanese Grand Tourers. The show also continues to honor the Ferrari F40 for a second consecutive year. Beyond the static displays, the event hosts 'Fireside Chats' where industry experts and manufacturers discuss the future of automotive technology and American manufacturing.

In addition to the concours, the grounds host a major collector car auction managed by Broad Arrow, featuring nearly 200 vehicles. These range from early 20th-century classics to modern hypercars like the Bugatti Mistral. The event also supports various local charities through sponsor donations and ticket proceeds, maintaining a long-standing tradition of community involvement within Monterey County.
