Made up of marques from around the world, Cars and Cocktails invites automobile clubs and individuals from across the country to The Greenbrier to share their favorite cars, or vintage motorcycles, on Saturday, May 2. It's a day filled with fellowship, unforgettable cocktails and fine automobiles. 

The roads, sidewalks and green space surrounding the iconic Springhouse provide an unmatched setting for this incredible display of horsepower, from classics to modern, which allows car enthusiasts to enjoy the historic and elegant property at The Greenbrier while taking part in this exclusive automotive event. 

A team of qualified judges will identify the top 25 cars in the show, and each will receive a special plaque to mark the achievement. The judges will also select the top three cars, including Best in Show.
