Rare Cars Deserve the Right Environment

Inside the AutoVino showroom, some of the world’s most unique performance cars are stored, maintained, and protected in a facility designed specifically for serious collectors.

This image captures what makes AutoVino different: rare and exotic cars housed in a clean, secure, carefully organized environment where every detail matters.

From the Porsche Carrera GT in the foreground to the GT3 and other collector cars throughout the showroom, each vehicle represents more than transportation. These are pieces of automotive history, engineering, and design.

Friday Night Happy Hour | AutoVino Wine Garden
This Friday, June 5 · 4:30–7:00 PM

🍷 WINE, LIVE MUSIC, AND FOOD IN THE WINE GARDEN

Start your weekend at the AutoVino Wine Garden with live music by Chris Bigford, estate-grown wines from Woodside Vineyards, and food served from AutoVino’s restored 1955 Flxible diner bus.

Enjoy the evening under the shade sails with a glass of wine, a table of food, and live music in the garden.

🎶 LIVE MUSIC BY CHRIS BIGFORD

Chris Bigford brings live country music to the Wine Garden this Friday, performing with guitar in hand during Friday Night Happy Hour. His set gives the evening a clear country feel and adds a classic live music presence to the outdoor Wine Garden setting.

🍕 PIZZA AND WINGS FROM THE FLXIBLE DINER BUS

Inside AutoVino’s restored 195 Flxible diner bus, Nate makes hand-stretched Neapolitan-style pizzas with 48-hour-fermented dough. The result is pizza with crisp edges, a tender center, and fresh-from-the-oven character.

The Happy Hour menu also includes wings, served hot from the bus and made for sharing at the table.

🧀 INGE’S CHARCUTERIE BOARDS

Inge’s boards feature salami, prosciutto, brie, cheddar, olives, nuts, crackers, bread, and sweet jellies. They can be customized for small or large groups and pair well with Woodside Vineyards wines such as Kings Mountain Cabernet, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Pinot Noir.

🐾 BRING THE DOG. STAY FOR THE EVENING.

The Wine Garden is dog-friendly, with Daisy and Honey helping set the tone for a welcoming Friday evening outdoors.

Bring your dog and make it a Friday night in the AutoVino Wine Garden.

Seating is limited. Early arrival recommended.

WHEN ENZO MEETS THE E TYPE

A Ferrari Enzo is parked beside a Jaguar E-Type. Enzo Ferrari reportedly called the E-Type the most beautiful car ever made, and now his namesake is sitting next to it.

The Jaguar E-Type debuted in 1961 with a long hood, a low stance, and proportions that became immediately recognizable.

The Ferrari Enzo was introduced in 2002 as a limited-production model featuring carbon-fiber construction, a Formula 1-inspired design, and a naturally aspirated V12 engine.

One car defined the design of sports cars in the 1960s. The other car carried the founder's name into Ferrari's modern era.

At AutoVino, collector-grade cars are stored in a secure indoor facility alongside other significant vehicles, providing owners with protection and accessibility.

If you need a secure place to store your high-value car, contact AutoVino to explore both short-term and long-term storage options or to schedule a tour of the facility.

Where Collector Cars Live Between Drives

A Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari, and a Porsche all ask the same question when they're not being driven:

Where should this car live?

Some owners find their home garage already full, while others feel that their car should not be parked outside, should not share space with daily drivers, or should be tucked away in an anonymous storage unit.

AutoVino provides indoor car storage in San Carlos specifically for collector, exotic, and luxury vehicles. Cars are securely stored inside the facility, equipped with vehicle lifts and battery tenders. Our staff handles the cars, ensuring they are moved carefully, and clients have access whenever they need to drive. This service offers a safe and convenient solution for the period between your last drive and the next.

Need indoor storage for your car?

Please visit the AutoVino car storage website to check availability or book a private tour.

SAN MATEO CARS & COFFEE | MOTHER’S DAY EDITION
Sunday, May 10, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

San Mateo Cars & Coffee returns to AutoVino for a Mother’s Day Edition that celebrates cars, coffee, families, and the Peninsula car community. Guests can walk around the cars, meet local owners, explore the showroom and car museum, and enjoy lunch in the Wine Garden after the morning event.

BRING MOM AND THE FAMILY

Mother’s Day attracts more than the usual crowd of car enthusiasts. Bring Mom, bring the family, or stop by with friends for coffee, cars, and a Sunday morning at AutoVino. Walk the rows, see what local owners bring in, take a few photos, and start your day before the rest of your Mother’s Day plans kick off.

CARS, COFFEE, AND THE AUTOVINO EXPERIENCE

Guests stroll through the rows, watch the cars arrive, and chat with local owners. The AutoVino showroom and car museum are open all morning. Honey and Daisy, the resident Labradors, are usually nearby.

LOCAL OWNERS AND PENINSULA CAR CULTURE

The car lineup varies depending on who shows up. Some mornings feature classics, others showcase modern performance cars, specialty vehicles, or club groups from around the Peninsula. The best part is often the conversation: owners discussing builds, guests asking questions, families stopping for photos, and the cars making the introductions.

STAY FOR LUNCH IN THE WINE GARDEN

After Cars & Coffee, the AutoVino Wine Garden opens for lunch. Enjoy Nate's wood-fired pizza from the 1955 Flxible Bus, charcuterie by Inge, and wines from Woodside Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Stay for the afternoon. It’s Mother’s Day.

A SIMPLE MOTHER’S DAY OUTING

The Mother’s Day Edition brings together moms, kids, car owners, and neighbors. You don't need to know cars to enjoy the morning. Coffee in hand, kids walking the rows, owners chatting about cars, families taking in the scene together.

JOIN US

Bring Mom, gather the family, and join us for the Mother’s Day Edition of San Mateo Cars & Coffee at AutoVino on Sunday, May 10, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

After the morning gathering, stay for lunch in the Wine Garden and make AutoVino part of your Mother’s Day.

The G-Wagen Group Rolls Into AutoVino

Sheri, the G-Wagen group’s meetup coordinator, helped organize a G-Wagen gathering at AutoVino, bringing together owners connected by one of the most iconic shapes in the automotive world.

The G-Wagen needs little explanation. Its upright stance, flat sides, squared-off body, and unmistakable presence trace back to its military roots, yet still define its place in today’s luxury performance world.

Black, silver, white, and red G-Wagens lined up in front of AutoVino while owners gathered around them, comparing builds and pointing out the details only another owner would catch. Some conversations start with a build. Some start with a color. Some start with the sound of the door closing, a detail every G-Wagen owner knows immediately.

This G-Wagen gathering shows what AutoVino can offer other car communities. Every marque has its own version of this kind of connection.

If your car group is seeking a venue for gatherings, AutoVino can host club events and specialty vehicle meetups on weekends by arrangement. Groups can also plan their visit around events like Cars & Cabernet or San Mateo Cars & Coffee. Come for the cars, enjoy lunch, and connect with others who share your passion.

Call ahead or contact AutoVino to schedule your meetup.

A Rare Maserati Built for Racing
Seen at Cars & Cabernet

Low, Open, and Stripped for the Track

Before the name becomes important, the car clearly conveys its purpose. This red Maserati sits low to the ground, featuring an open cockpit, sleek bodywork, and a prominent rear wing that defines its profile. Compact and minimalistic, it unmistakably exudes a race-ready design, showcasing its intention as a vehicle built primarily for the track.

What You Notice First

From the outside, every significant detail of the car serves a purpose: the low bodywork, side intakes, small aero screen, integrated roll hoop, and large rear wing. The car is engineered rather than styled. There are no decorative elements; instead, the shape is determined by factors such as airflow, weight, and driver protection.

Inside the Cockpit

Inside, the cockpit is bare and mechanical: racing harnesses, analog gauges, a racing steering wheel, exposed structure, and almost nothing that does not serve the driver. Then you notice the tartan bucket seats — a period Italian detail set inside a stripped race car built with very little concern for comfort.

Built for a Short-Lived Maserati Racing Series

The Maserati Barchetta Grantrofeo was specifically designed for the Grantrofeo Monomarca Barchetta Maserati series, a one-make racing championship held in 1992 and 1993. Only 17 Barchettas were produced, making it one of the rarest modern Maserati competition cars.

The engineering behind the Barchetta was impressive, featuring a 2.0L twin-turbo V6 engine that produces approximately 315 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed ZF gearbox. With a dry weight of around 775 kg, the Barchetta is light, compact, and open, making it well-suited for racing. Although it had a short-lived existence, the Barchetta represents a distinctive chapter in Maserati’s competition history, and most of these vehicles are now part of private collections.

Cars & Cabernet at AutoVino

Cars like this elevate Cars & Cabernet beyond a typical car gathering. Join us on the third Sunday of each month at AutoVino for a showcase of rare and exotic cars, Woodside Vineyards wine, Neapolitan-style pizza, and a relaxing afternoon in the AutoVino Wine Garden.
