<p>Classic Automotive Events of Virginia, Inc., in conjunction with the Central Virginia British Car Club (CVBCC) is pleased to announce its 27th annual Classics on the Green – European Automobile Show and Wine Festival. The show and wine festival will be held on Sunday, September 18, 2011, again this year at the New Kent Winery, 8400 Old Church Road - just off Route I-64, Exit 211 - in New Kent, Virginia. The event opens to the public at 11:00 AM and will continue until 4:00 PM (rain or shine). The fun begins on Saturday, September 17th, with a golf tournament at the Club at Viniterra (a Rees Jones championship course), driving tours, sightseeing and shopping, and a Bar-B-Q and Celebration of Vintage Wines and Wheels on Saturday evening at the New Kent Party Tent.</p>

<p>Last year’s event was a huge success with over 300 automobiles on display and many vendors offering unique goods, services and even luxury car test drives. This year the festival promises to be more spectacular, with new vendors and displays, Hot Air Balloon rides, and many other activities for the family’s enjoyment. The Winery will feature a variety of exquisite Virginia wines from its own Winery and other Virginia Vineyards.</p>

<p>The featured marque for 2011 will be Austin-Healey, along with other unique Designs of Donald Healey, and a special display of Vintage Racing Cars. Joining the Healeys will be such extraordinary nameplates as: Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, Bentley, AC Bristol, MG, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lotus, Porsche, Triumph, Mini, Morris Minor, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, Volvo, Alfa Romeo, Lamborghini, Pantera, TVR and many more.</p>
