The Malibu Concours

Thirty automobiles. Three days on the coast.

The Invitation

A weekend built for thirty cars, not three thousand people.

We wanted a concours that felt like being invited somewhere — not admitted to something. Fifty automobiles at most, gathered at Cross Creek Ranch under the sycamores, with the canyon roads that got them here just over the ridge.

Three days: a welcome evening at the Four Seasons, two rallies through the Santa Monica Mountains, a progressive table crawl through Malibu's best kitchens, and a beachfront farewell at Paradise Cove. Come for the cars. Stay for the coast.

The Concours at Cross Creek Ranch

Thirty to fifty invited automobiles on the lawn — historic racing cars, coachbuilt classics, modern hypercars and the occasional concept. Around them, the restaurants and retailers of Cross Creek become tasting rooms for the afternoon.

Drive the coast. Collect your hand.

Five stops, five sealed cards. Not a race — an excuse to pull over, taste something, and talk to the person driving the car you have always wanted.

I

Four Seasons

Collector breakfast, driver's meeting, first card.

II

Paramount Ranch

Photography stop on the old western set.

III

Cielo Farms

Wine tasting, artisan cheese, light bites.

IV

Calamigos Ranch

Refreshments and live acoustic music.

V

Cross Creek

Fifth card, champagne welcome, vehicle placement.

Best hand takes a luxury weekend package. Worst hand takes the Bad Luck Trophy — arguably the better story.
Wild Cards for a Cause let you swap one card; proceeds go to our local charitable partner.
