Art in Motion: How We Move Cars at AutoVino

At AutoVino, we treat every car as a rolling sculpture. Whether it’s a Porsche 918 or a Pagani, moving one of these machines is a meticulous process that relies on effective communication, trust, and technical expertise.

Precision in Every Move

Phil takes the driver's seat while Cullen sits in the front, guiding him through every detail. These aren't spacious garages; we're dealing with tight tolerances and high stakes. One wrong move could damage something irreplaceable. That's why nothing is left to chance.

A System Built on Care

Every movement is deliberate. The team communicates effectively at each stage to ensure safe and accurate positioning. Whether pulling a car out or returning it to storage, the process remains focused, measured, and precise.

Storage Meets Stewardship

We carefully store each car. Every vehicle is connected to a battery tender, and the environment is controlled to maintain its condition. When an owner requests their truck, it is unplugged, positioned, and ready on time.

Looking for a better place to park your car?

If you need a secure location to store your vehicle, we're here to help. Our team manages everything—from careful vehicle movements and battery maintenance to ongoing attention while your car is in storage. Contact us to schedule a walkthrough or check availability.

SUNDAY, JULY 20 | STARTS AT 11:30 AM

Cars & Cabernet is AutoVino’s monthly signature event that highlights rare and exotic cars and features wine made from locally grown Woodside grapes. Guests can enjoy oak-fired food from a restored 1955 diner bus in a family-friendly and dog-friendly atmosphere. Held every third Sunday in San Carlos, this event is a favorite for car and wine enthusiasts.

This month, we are focusing on the next generation. If you have a young car enthusiast or want to spend a Sunday doing something different with your kids, this is a great weekend to visit. The space is open, relaxed, and equally welcoming to both dog owners and car enthusiasts.

The Cars

Each month showcases a rotating selection of rare and exotic vehicles, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, McLarens, and occasionally, a collector car, all brought by their owners. The vehicles are displayed in an open-air lot, enabling guests to walk through at their own pace and appreciate the details up close.

The Food & Wine

Wine is produced on-site by Woodside Vineyards, utilizing grapes grown locally in the Woodside region of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Current offerings include Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay.

Food is prepared fresh in our restored 1955 Flxible diner bus. Neapolitan-style pizzas are cooked in a 900-degree oak-fired oven. Tri-tip and salmon are available as sandwiches or salads, made to order.

Plan Your Visit

To preview the event, visit the Cars & Cabernet Resource Hub—our event webpage, which contains everything you need: a countdown to July 20, a parking map, Wine Garden layout, a full PDF menu, and answers to frequently asked questions.

🇮🇹 A Fiat Full of Flavor: From Little Italy to AutoVino

At the center of the AutoVino Wine Garden, nestled between the vines and the wood-fired oven, is a bit of red legend. Adorned with the Italian tricolor and featuring La Gioconda, our vintage Fiat 500 is more than just a car—it’s a cultural ambassador, a mascot, and your new favorite photo booth.

🍝 Born in the Streets of North Beach

This Fiat didn't always thrive among vineyards and high-performance cars. Its journey began at Mona Lisa, the iconic family-owned Italian restaurant located on Columbus Avenue in San Francisco's Little Italy. Established in 1979, the Mona Lisa has served as a sanctuary for traditional recipes and handmade dishes, which have been passed down through generations from Rosina, Matilde, and Maria. These matriarchs transformed kitchens into temples of culinary tradition.

❤️ A Family Dream on Four Wheels

When Filomena and Maurizio took over in 1997, they revitalized the Mona Lisa while maintaining the culinary spirit inspired by Uncle Tony Azzolino. Their legacy is evident in every dish and now, in every curve of this car.

📍 From Columbus Avenue to San Carlos

Once a staple in North Beach, the Fiat has found a new home here at AutoVino. It anchors our Wine Garden like an old friend at the center of the table—sparking joy, conversation, and countless photos.

📸 See It. Share It. Savor It.

Strike a pose with it. Raise a toast next to it. Allow it to take you on a journey—if not by road, then through tales and memories. Just like the food at Mona Lisa or the wine we serve at AutoVino, this Fiat was handcrafted, has been passed down through generations, and is designed to be unforgettable.

✨ Experience the Mona Lisa Fiat in Person

You can see this iconic Fiat on display in the Wine Garden every week during:

• Friday Happy Hour: 4:30–7:30 PM
• Weekend Wine Tastings: Saturday and Sunday, 12:00–4:00 PM
• Cars & Cabernet: Third Sunday of the month, starting at 11:30 AM

Raise a glass, take a photo, and enjoy a taste of Italian tradition!

A Legend in Motion: 1969 Mustang Boss 429 at AutoVino

The Muscle Behind the Myth

In 1969, Ford created a Mustang specifically for the racetrack rather than the showroom. The Boss 429 was designed to homologate a 429 cubic inch semi-hemispherical engine for NASCAR. This engine was too large for a standard Mustang engine bay and too extreme for the average buyer. To address this challenge, Ford partnered with Kar-Kraft to modify production cars by hand, resulting in a street-legal platform that met racing regulations.

Rarity and Purpose, Engineered to Last

In 1969, only 859 units were produced. Each car featured a detuned version of Ford’s racing engine, paired with a close-ratio four-speed transmission and various performance enhancements that gave it a commanding presence on the road.

While it may not have been the fastest Mustang on paper, it was undoubtedly the most purposefully designed with intention rather than mere appearance. Every detail, from the flat-black hood scoop to the Magnum 500 wheels, underscores that this car was built to adhere to racing regulations while still turning heads.

Where History Is Kept Alive

At AutoVino, we don’t just display cars; we preserve them. Our facility features climate control, private access, and expert care to ensure that rare vehicles remain ready, protected, and properly stored. This isn’t a showroom—it's the ultimate solution for discerning collectors seeking peace of mind.

Craftsmanship, Quietly Guarded

The Boss 429 now stands proudly among modern hypercars and vintage icons, each carefully selected and meticulously maintained. This is what distinguishes AutoVino: we don’t merely store cars—we preserve legacies.

Own Something Extraordinary?

If you own a rare or exotic sports car and need secure, professional storage, AutoVino provides private, climate-controlled care tailored specifically for your vehicle.

Ebony and Ivory: When Opposites Park in Harmony

At AutoVino, we appreciate more than just cars; we celebrate craftsmanship, contrast, and care. This week, our staging area showcased two iconic vehicles: a black Porsche Carrera GT and a white Ferrari SF90. Representing different eras and engineering philosophies, these cars embody the full spectrum of performance. Here, they sit side by side, both protected with the same meticulous standards.

Crafted for Collectors Who Expect More

Clients can arrive, leave their daily driver in our private lot, and step into their supercar in our staging area. Within minutes, they are on the road—no valet service, no exposure, and no hassle.

Concierge-Level Care, On-Site Detailing

When a vehicle comes back, it’s not simply parked—it’s pampered.

From paint protection to interior detailing, every vehicle is thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and stored in optimal condition.

Only Ten Were Ever Built. We Protect One.

A car like this needs more than just a parking space—it requires people who appreciate its value and know how to protect it effectively. At AutoVino, our commitment to long-term care is founded on high standards, discretion, and stewardship.

As soon as a vehicle comes into our care, it becomes part of a dedicated preservation system designed for collectors and serious enthusiasts. This system includes 24/7 monitored security, a climate-controlled environment, battery and fluid maintenance, and access to on-site detailing. Every aspect of our service is purposefully designed to protect rare vehicles from deterioration, exposure, and neglect.

A Supercar with a Story

When McLaren launched the MP4-12C in 2011, it represented the brand’s first road car since the iconic F1. It made a technological advancement with its carbon monocoque chassis, twin-turbo V8, and active aerodynamics—all designed for ultimate performance.

In the same year, Neiman Marcus featured the MP4-12C in its iconic Christmas catalog, offering only ten cars as part of a luxury gift experience. Each vehicle was finished in Volcano Red and included an exclusive driving program with McLaren in the U.K. This wasn’t just a purchase; it was an invitation into the McLaren world, curated for an audience that valued exclusivity as much as speed.

Rarity Respected

At AutoVino, we recognize the importance of caring for your vehicle. It’s not merely about display; it’s about discipline. Everything we do is designed to preserve what matters most quietly: originality, condition, and provenance.

Some cars are driven to be seen. Others are protected to be remembered.
