Tour d'Elegance
The three day Tour d'Elegance is an integral part of the Concours beginning a long weekend of celebration with a coffee and donut kick off at Club Auto on the morning of Thursday September 9th, followed by the scenic drive to Sun Mountain Lodge in the picturesque North Cascades, where the group will stay for the evening.
Friday morning arrives with much anticipation as participants look forward to a route that winds through Lake Chelan to Leavenworth, giving those involved a chance to see some of the most incredible scenery that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. The Tour d’Elegance will stop in Leavenworth for the evening, staying at the charming Enzian Inn. Fun dinner parties have been planned for both Friday and Saturday evening at the respective lodges, and the weekend promises to be an unforgettable experience. Both host lodges were chosen by Tour Master's Al & Sandi McEwan, and are renown for displays of incredible luxury and incomparable Northwest hospitality.
