Enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Wine Garden, one of San Carlos’s most memorable places to spend an evening.
LIVE MUSIC BY TRAVELING SIDEWALKS
This Friday, Traveling Sidewalks will bring their soulful, groove-driven sound to the Wine Garden. This Bay Area trio combines vocals, guitar, and bass to create fresh interpretations of classic and modern favorites. With roots from Canada, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, their musical style delivers rhythm, warmth, and an easy energy that perfectly suits the setting.
WOOD-FIRED PIZZA AND WINGS FROM THE BUS
Inside the restored 1955 diner bus, Nate creates hand-stretched Neapolitan-style pizzas with 48-hour-fermented dough, along with crisp, flame-finished wings served hot from the mobile kitchen.
INGE’S SIGNATURE CHARCUTERIE BOARDS
Inge's charcuterie boards showcase a selection of cheeses, cured meats, olives, nuts, and artisan accompaniments that pair excellently with Woodside Vineyards wines, including Kings Mountain Cabernet, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Pinot Noir.
BRING THE DOG. STAY FOR THE EVENING.
Well-mannered dogs are welcome in the Wine Garden. Join us for live music, great wine, and wood-fired cuisine in a setting designed for conversation, community, and a relaxing end to the week.

<h3>SANTÉ!</h3>
SANTÉ! by Cirque Kikasse is a high-energy circus show where world class acrobatics, breathtaking balances and contagious energy collide — all aboard an extraordinary truck. The troupe prepares their rooftop terrace for service through a series of playful transformations, from arranging furniture that becomes a balancing tower 35 feet off the ground, to the deliberately inefficient cleaning of the truck and trampoline, to the joyful overflow of the popcorn machine. A bold, fun and visually striking concept that delivers jaw-dropping virtuosity and thrills, even for the most seasoned circus lovers.
<h3>Cirque Kikasse</h3>
Launched in 2021 by circus artists and directors Hugo Ouellet-Côté and William Poliquin-Simms, Cirque Kikasse emerged from a shared desire to create bold, high-energy circus that blends virtuosity with infectious playfulness. Drawing on decades of international performing and directing experience with leading contemporary circus companies, the co-founders shaped a project known for its precision, physicality, and strong audience connection. Cirque Kikasse quickly established itself on the touring circuit with Santé!, a signature production presented over 250 times for more than 100,000 spectators across Canada and the United States. Designed to meet audiences where they are, the work resonates in festivals, universities, and public spaces alike.

A California cuisine restaurant with mediterranean leaning.

Amara

Amara is where the Mediterranean comes to play! A sun-soaked garden, bold flavors, and a vibe that pulls you in and keeps you there. By day, it’s the place for long, lazy brunches and families sharing plates in the shade. By night, the energy shifts, cocktails flow, music hums, and the garden feels like a secret you’re lucky to know. Every dish is crafted from peak-season ingredients, inspired by coastlines and cultures where life moves a little slower and tastes a little better. One visit won’t be enough and that’s exactly how we like it. Our Philosophy Food &amp; Drink At Amara, the food and drink share the same philosophy start with the best ingredients and let them shine. We work with local farms and the weekly farmers market to source peak-season produce, ensuring every plate is as fresh, vibrant, and nourishing as it is delicious. Cocktails follow the same principle, mixed with market-fresh herbs, citrus, and spices into creations that feel inventive yet effortless. It’s quality without pretension, made for people who truly care about what’s on their plate and in their glass. Space Amara is designed to transport a sunlit garden, airy interiors, and cozy corners are perfect for lingering. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s rugged coastlines and warm hospitality, our space blends natural textures, lush greenery, and flowing water to create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. It’s where you can sink in, slow down, and feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Events at Amara From long, lazy brunches to lively Thursday DJ nights, Amara offers experiences as dynamic as its setting. Our garden and private spaces host everything from intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings, while seasonal events like Diwali dinners or chef’s table tastings make every visit feel unique. Whether you’re here for a glass of wine at golden hour or a full evening under the stars, there’s always something to draw you back. Check Happenings to see current
