Join us for one of the most ambitious and spectacular drives of our 2026 season—a full-day grand tour across the North Cascades and through some of Washington's most memorable scenery.

🏔️ The Journey

We'll head east from Arlington and into the heart of the North Cascades, following the spectacular North Cascades Highway past towering peaks and the brilliant turquoise waters of Diablo Lake.

From there, we'll cross the mountains and descend into the Methow Valley for a visit to Winthrop, before continuing south toward Lake Chelan.

🍷 Chelan Wine Country

We'll take a well-earned break from the road in Chelan for a wine tasting, giving everyone a chance to relax and enjoy one of Washington's premier wine regions.

🏔️ Dinner in Leavenworth

Our journey then continues toward Leavenworth, where we'll stop for dinner and enjoy some time together before beginning the final leg home.

🌙 The Road Home

After dinner, we'll cross Stevens Pass and return to the west side through Monroe, completing our North Cascades loop.

⚠️ A Grand Touring Day

This will be a full day of driving, with longer stretches behind the wheel than our typical Seattle Section events—but that's part of the adventure!

Bring a full tank, your favorite Mercedes, and an appetite for some serious grand touring. We'll experience mountain passes, alpine lakes, the Methow Valley, wine country and Leavenworth all in one memorable day.

This is the kind of day our Mercedes were built for.
