Avantoberfest

Avantoberfest October 2021 new locations, new drives, and new experiences. Stay tuned for details Avantober Fest was an idea thought up by creator Neil Gjertsen.

A long standing member of the auto/motor bike world Neil settled in the Euro car market for the past decade or so. Focusing primarily on Audi/VW models Niel forged an M.O. as an upstanding modder who loved his avants. Known to other s AvantKneel he went on to begin crating this idea of a point to point car cruise. Settling on the North East coast Neil began mapping routes. countless maps and route

s later and Neil had the first of many maps. The starting and finishing points will remain consistent. Danbury, Ct to Stratton Vt. One day up and then down. Through further research and experience Neil decided to move the even to correspond with Stratton Mountains annual Beer Fest and Chili Cook-off. Defining the culmination of the cruise with a hardy stream of beers from 100's of micro brewers. An annual dinner takes place with whomever is able to stay late enough or has decided to continue the complete debauchery with the rest of the crew. Laughs, drinks, outrageous situations and stories for days. Neil Gjertsen has created on of the few lasting and only talked about expereiences. With back road hills and dales, changing leave and BEER to culminate the day. Avantober Fest is an annual tradition that is here to stay and will stand the test of time.

One more week! Avantoberfest 2025 The Final Tour… its official. After 18yrs of planning, organizing, and pouring my heart into this event, it’s hard to say goodbye.

A promise to my son and myself to keep it going has been fulfilled, and now gets to experience his first official Avantoberfest as a driver! Next week, we’ll gather , where it all started, for a 300-mile journey through breathtaking fall foliage and back roads to , exploring the Adirondack Mtns one last time with at the helm.
