I'm not 100% sure how it works. Someone else can confirm, but my guess... Sunday Pebble ticket holders can view Casa Ferrari cars. (but it might be Casa Ferrari gets you into Pebble, but not the other way around) only Casa Ferrari credentials get you into the Casa Ferrari private areas. https://www.ferrari.com/en-US/auto/pebble-beach
To clarify, this is how it was last time I was attending as a spectator couple of years ago (and have no reason to assume or believe it has changed much since):
We welcome all Ferrari and Italian motorcycle enthusiasts to Dolores St in Carmel Thursday, August 17 for our Ferrari Owners Club Concours Carmel. Among our 22 Ferrari entries are a 166 MM and a 288 GTO. Viewing free to the public. Swing by after the PB Tour and hang out with us in Carmel. Event benefits the Carmel Harrison Library and The Carmel Foundation. Early Ducatis and MV Agustas among the 20 Italian motorcycles. Image Unavailable, Please Login
For all those travelling from San Francisco to Monterey these days I can recommend to stop by at Bruce Canepa's place in Scotts Valley (Hwy 17 south when coming from 101). https://canepa.com/2023-monterey-car-week/ Highly recommended. Bruce and his team are great and the museum is kool as well (may be a bit too many Porsches, but that's ok). Once you are in Scotts Valley it's very easy to get to the Monterey Peninsula.

I’ll text you a couple of videos of how the Casa Ferrari setup looked last year so you can see how it logistically worked. Essentially the house is right off of the first fairway’s tee box and has a sectioned off outdoor patio and small stage. That way you can meander inside where the food and shop is setup, then go sit/lounge outside on the patio or the grass. There are two entrances: 1. Back patio near the fairway 2. Front doors facing the street
Did you find plenty of parking close by? Which days did you go? I think we'll be going Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
I was with a fellow Fchatter who had cars on display on the first fairway so we were able to park on the street in front of casa Ferrari with a tag or some such thing. No clue how it normally works but I’d budget extra time. I’m sure someone with more direct knowledge will get you squared away! We stopped into Casa Ferrari on Friday and Saturday. Note that the day of the concours last year was Saturday whereas it will be Sunday this year.
Makes sense, I think we only got it because Ferrari specifically asked him to display and handful of cars that he had to ship on his dime out there. Not really an “official” thing.
well, my car was selected to represent the 355 at Casa Ferrari and I'm shipping on my dime, but they could have got a Classiche 355 anywhere.
Pebble Beach Concours has always been on the Sunday, not on Saturday (at least the last 50 years). You must talk about some other concours that was on a Saturday. Marcel Massini
@rob lay fun and free events on Saturday in the morning are the Chilis restaurant cars and coffee (co hosted by The Valt - no affiliation) and a stones throw away is the Concour d’lemons (a fun/free crowd favorite).
Casa Ferrari is not a concours. It's a display and not judged professionally (like IAC/PFA or similar). Marcel Massini
@rob lay i also got tickets for Spike/Seinfeld/Lieberman/SmokingTire podcast event. There are other talks as well. They used to be Free and sold out quick but this year the different events are charging. again, no affiliation just excited about this one. https://theconcoursstore.com/collections/forums/products/2023ccf-spikes-car-radio-live Image Unavailable, Please Login
@rob lay I will agree with others that Friday at The Quail is amazing. i had 2 extras this year and sold them to another 456/550/575 subforum buddy for my cost ($975 each) if anyone here can help you out with extra tickets it’s amazing and the food/booze/drinks are unlimited and tasty. oh and If you fly into and stay in San Jose or Santa Cruz then I also reccomend the floor and upstairs museum (free) at CANEPA’S shop in Scott’s Valley (our children go to school right up the street), it’s an amazing spot and before they canceled the cars and coffee years ago it was epic.
For those that are going to the Concorso Italiano, I would recommend the stand of this Italian artist of the city of Modena, Alessandro Rasponi. A beauty, enjoy. Image Unavailable, Please Login
That's a bummer that participants don't get a parking pass near Casa Ferrari! Here's a link to the official PB maps & directions. https://pebblebeachconcours.net/plan-your-visit/directions-parking-event-maps/ On Friday & Saturday, you should be able to park near Concours Village (space permitting) or get Uber/Lyft to drop you off there. It's about a 10-15 minute downhill walk to Casa Ferrari on Fairway One and the Lodge. On Sunday if you don't have a VIP parking pass you will be directed to various remote lots and then have to wait for a shuttle to drop you off near Concours village. You can take Uber/Lyft, but even with traffic management, getting to the drop-off point is very slow due to the massive volume of non-resident traffic funneled onto the few primary streets. Another alternative is to park at Sunset Center in Carmel and take a $35 shuttle that leaves from Carmel Plaza. Have fun!
