For 2018, the illustrious McCall’s Motorworks Revival will enter their 27th year during world-famous Monterey Car Week and, if it’s anything like past years, this year’s celebration is undoubtedly going to be one party you just can’t miss! Serving as host to 3,000 auto-moto-aero aficionados, the grand gala guarantees that they’ll be offering delectable culinary delicacies and fine wines for the indulgment of the guests throughout the evening. Together with the innovative ideas of combining both the fields of aviation and automotive into one joint celebration, which is a concept that has been reproduced a couple of times throughout the country, McCall is again demonstrating their inventive ethos as they add the joy of food and wine to the party’s merriment.
The list of local celebrity chefs are also quite impressive as it includes Chef Jerome Viel (from Jerome’s Carmel Valley Market), Chef Paul Corsentino (from Ventana Inn Big Sur) and Chef Matthew Beaudin (from the Monterey Bay Aquarium). Furthermore, a very special guest, famed Executive Chef Joshua Schwartz (from Napa Valley’s Del Dotto Winery) will also be making an appearance this year as he showcases his exemplary culinary skills and insights by preparing bespoke composed plates paired with boutique wineries from Carmel Valley and Napa Valley. In addition to the special plated offerings, award-winning wines from Napa Valley will include the likes of Silver Oak, Del Dotto Vineyards, and Altamura; not to forget wines from Bernardus winery that is going to be exclusively for VIP guests enjoyment with the presentation of Santa Lucia varietals, served by its winemakers, winery staff and owner Ben Pon. At the beginning of the evening, the main Center Stage Pavilion will kickoff the celebration with California Caviar paired together with appetizing morsels.
Thanks to the event’s beautifully planned reception, McCall’s VIP Red Carpet guests will once again be given the special privilege of an early arrival accompanied by valet parking, which results in far less traffic to navigate at that time. “We started this special ticket four years ago and the interest has grown substantially,” McCall reports. “We’re pleased to entertain people for an extra hour and give them the opportunity to take in more of the sights. It’s become a coveted party within the party. This year’s Red Carpet Club will be in the mezzanine of the main hangar, which will have its own bar and give the Red Carpet guests the bird’s-eye view over the hangar and tarmac display. The Red Carpet tickets have sold out since we started the special ticket, and are sure to sell out again this year.”
Putting aside the wonderful foods and wines, the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation is coming back again to be the beneficiary of the deeply philanthropic guests who will be in-attendance. The event is going to feature many generous sponsors that will be donating their goods to those lucky donors during the evening. Both Swiss watchmakers Baume & Mercier and Eberhard are going to donate timepieces of their own, along with additional, big-hearted sponsors, who will be giving away high-end luxury products to support the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation’s cause. “With so many events now on the Monterey Peninsula, our Wednesday night party seems to push all the buttons for several of our motorsports legend guests,” McCall mentions. “They get to see all of their friends here and can relax and enjoy the scenery without the crowds.”
Heavyweights of the aviation and automotive industries will be arriving to help celebrate McCall’s 27th annual event. Authorities from the aero industry consist of brands like Gulfstream, Textron Aviation, Embraer, Piper, and Pilatus, whereas the auto industry features well-known names such as McLaren, Porsche, Genovation, Toyota, Genesis, US Specialty, etc… Other participants, including Aeristo, HRE Performance, Weathertech, and the famed Quail Rally, will amaze the VIP guests with their stunning displays. Besides the leading-edge auto and aero displays that will be present during the celebration, innumerable privately owned vintage aircrafts, superlative sports cars and ravishing racecars are also going to be put on exhibit by McCall’s international band of friends. McCall’s Motorworks Revival is an event in itself with a history of hosting some of the biggest names in the auto-moto-aero industries. The event is so noteworthy that several high-profile individuals fly in during Monterey Car Week just to take part in this one-night soiree. This year will also mark the start of a new tradition, Club McCall, the official After Party of McCall’s Motorworks.
The 27th Annual McCall’s Motorworks Revival officially commences on Wednesday, August 22, 2018.
