Cars, Wine and Cigars at the Heart of New Business, Luxury car storage and transport

Cars, cigars and wine are at the heart of a new business in Menlo Park California called Autovino, catering to those with fine tastes. While primarily a storage facility for luxury cars, cigars and wine, the business has also taken on car transport as a service for customers.

The Mercury News describes Autovino as a club where automotive junkies can bring their high-performance and luxury vehicles for a drive, then relax with friends for a cigar and glass of wine. The idea is to create more than a storage facility and car transport hub, but a community of enthusiasts in a club-like atmosphere.

The warehouse at Autovino houses twelve luxury / high-performance cars such as Lotus, Ferrari and Maserati. Another ten cars are expected soon. Capacity is available for up to seventy cars at the facility. The show room will display vehicles and serve as a gathering place for customers. The lounge area features leather sofas with a coffee table laden with car magazines. It also includes a high-speed racing simulator.

A separate room serves as the cigar lounge, with leather chairs, TV and a ventilation system that keeps the air moving. A wine bar is under construction in the next room and wood-panel lockers are planned to house about 6,000 bottles of wine. Eventually, Autovino will produce its own wine with the purchase of nearby Woodside Vineyards. There are even plans for a future trattoria on the second floor.

Autovino is building its customer base for car storage. Some packages include car transport to bring member cars to racetracks. These services give car owners a place to store their cars and show the car off to their friends and fellow enthusiasts.

For events like this make sure to ship your vehicle with a auto transport company you trust.
