Upcoming Events
12/05/2025 - (Fri) Diablo Holiday Party
Get ready to rev up your holiday spirit! Join us for Diablo's spectacular night of fun, food, and charity, proudly hosted and sponsored by Livermore Porsche!
This isn't just a party; it's a special evening packed with our annual awards, great camaraderie, and non-stop fun. You can sip and savor with a complimentary wine tasting from 3 Steves Winery, who will also provide (two glasses per person are included in price) wine to pair perfectly with our delicious buffet dinner featuring salmon, braised short ribs, and vegetarian mains, plus decadent sides and dessert. Not into wine? We'll also have a keg of craft beer from Altamont Brewery, in addition to soft drinks and non alcoholic beer!
Work it all off on the dance floor! Our DJ is guaranteed to play your favorites, keeping the energy high.
Forget the boring White Elephant! Instead, let's fill up a Porsche Macan! Be generous and bring an unwrapped gift (better yet, bring two) for our Toys for Tots drive. Still have shopping to do? Browse a select array of Porsche merchandise, and watches as well as selections from local vendors —the perfect last-minute gift!
Don't miss out on this high-octane holiday bash! Sign up early—we only have room for 120 guests! (This is an adult-only event.)
Tickets go on sale Friday October 17 at noon. Click here to attend.
11/12/2025 (Wednesday) - Porsches, Plates & Pals
Next month we will visit Pietro's No. 1 which is an institution in Vacaville. In 1957 Pietro Murdaca opened a small 28 seat restaurant at this same location. He introduced Vacaville and the surrounding area to his style of southern Italian cuisine. Pizza was something new in this area and it wasn't long before Pietro's pizza became a local favorite. The Murdaca family continues to serve its customers today with the same outstanding food as they always have. In addition the current owner Joe Murdaca is a car guy and a Diablo Member so let's show our support.
Come join us November 12 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM at 407 Cernon Street in Vacaville. We have room for 20 people so reserve your spot today. If you'd like to suggest a place in Napa or Solano Counties for 2026 please contact Lawrence Tougas with your suggestion.
