If you’ve finally decided to level up and build your own wine cellar, there are necessary steps that you have to take to get your wine cellar project started. In this blog, we will walk you through the somewhat challenging, but ultimately rewarding, steps of building your wine cellar.

The Consultation Process

The first step is to contact a company that specializes in wine cellar design. They will guide you from the very first step to the finishing touches, whether you are building a residential cellar or a commercial wine cellar. By doing this, you are able to get a clear picture of your vision for your wine cellar and the subsequent steps you will need to take.

Some Design Questions  

Some of the usual questions that would-be wine cellar owners should ask themselves are listed below.

·       What is the storage capacity that you need?

·       Will you build your wine cellar to accommodate a set number of wine bottles, or will you leave room for your collection to grow?

·       Will you be requiring storage space for standard, wood cases, or large format bottles?

·       Will you need a wine cooling system to control the humidity and temperature in your cellar?

·       Do you want your wine cellar to have a space for wine tasting where you can entertain your friends?

Design Talk  

A trained design consultant will discuss with you in great detail all the crucial things for your wine cellar design. This will then be turned over to the CAD team whose members have extensive experience in creating a 3D version of your wine cellar design.

The 3D design package is a detailed 3D-rendering of your dream wine cellar. It is composed of multiple pages, which include the plan view, elevations, plus 3D views of the wine cellar. It is emailed to you as a PDF file after about three days of your initial design consultation. The email will also contain a link to a short video tour of the design.

The Details  

At this point, you can talk to the design consultant about all the other smaller details that will be needed in building your wine cellar. Things such as the wood type you prefer, the type of wood finish, the design of wine racks, wine cooling unit, wine accessories, and other features or personalized touches that you want to be incorporated in your California custom wine room must be discussed.

When we think of wine cellars, what usually comes to our minds are dark, cold, damp, old, stark, and cobwebby places where people keep dusty bottles of wine. It is usually located in the least populated areas of the home or the least used space. More often than not, it is located in a basement or an outhouse.

Wine collecting and storage have come a long way and have evolved leaps and bounds. Wine collectors put time, creativity, and money into building California modern wine cellars.

Modern homes these days are also in abundance, as many owners work hand in hand with architects and interior designers. More and more homeowners prefer their homes to reflect their personalities and passions, which can include wine collecting and storage.

Modern Wine Cellar Features

Modern wine cellars are usually incorporated into the modern home where space is available. Some modern homes place their wine cellars under the stairs, under the kitchen island, in small available closets or rooms, or in free space between rooms or garages.

More often than not, modern wine cellars are constructed with custom wine racks made from wood, steel, glass, or a combination of these materials. Some wine rack systems are designed to look like the bottles are floating in the air.

For a dramatic effect, fancy lights are placed in strategic spots that illuminate the wine bottles, thus easily catching the guests’ attention while emitting a minimal amount of heat.

Why Choose a Modern Wine Cellar

Wine owners and enthusiasts have varied reasons for opting for a modern wine cellar. Modern wine cellars are made of modern materials that are easily found commercially. If and when repairs are needed, the owner will not have a difficult time looking for replacement parts.

They have their own stories to tell and can add character to a modern home. Owners can showcase their passion for wines using the latest materials and technology available.

Many wine collectors are relatively young, which can somehow explain their preference for a modern style. Modern wine cellars seem easier to maintain than classic ones. It is also easier to mix and match the materials available on the market.

A modern custom wine cellar design will also reflect the youthful personalities of the owner. Quirky wine collectors may opt for designs which have an entrance in unlikely spots.

I’ve seen a wine cellar that has a circular entrance to the wine collection resembling a trapdoor. The owner has his collection on the walls near a staircase, making the area housing for the wines and a form of a design statement.

A modern wine cellar adds value to a house, creating a higher resale value in the future. This is usually valuable, especially if your home is located near a wine region or you live in a locale where wine and anything wine-related has value.

Whatever your reason may be, choosing a modern style wine cellar is always a good choice, especially if it brings you happiness and contentment as your dreams are realized and as long as other important aspects of your life are not sacrificed.

These days, wine storage can take many forms. For those who live in homes with small spaces, wine bottles can be placed on wine racks attached to walls and other vacant spaces or areas.

Some are lucky enough to have extra rooms that can be converted into California custom wine cellars. Others have basement areas where they can put their wine collection, while some have extra space in the garage that can be converted into a wine cellar.

For many reasons, a garage is an ideal place to build one’s wine cellar. A garage is just the right size to house one’s wine collection. The rest of the house will not be disturbed if the wine cellar cooling unit has a vibrating sound.

Visitors can easily come and go to the converted wine cellar garage without disturbing the rest of the household. Guests who are mere acquaintances do not need to enter your home if you do not want them to as the garage has a separate point of entry.

Helpful Tips for a Garage Custom Wine Cellar Conversion

A garage converted into a residential wine cellar will allow the owner to customize fully the dimensions of the wine cellar. It is advisable to have a separate entry to the wine cellar itself to ensure that the required temperatures are met at all times.

The cool temperature must be sealed in or contained in the wine cellar at all times. The same thing goes for humidity levels.

The walls of the wine cellar must be insulated to prevent warm air from entering and settling in the room. If that happens, the wines will be ruined. Other materials to be used should contribute to the maintenance of the cool temperature. Modern wine racks made of wood or steel can be used for wine storage. Single-bottle wine racks or shelves for bulk storage can be custom-built.

If desired, a countertop can be built using the same materials. As the garage is separate from the main house and living areas, there is no need to align the wine cellar’s overall design and color scheme with the rest of the house. One can choose a design that does not necessarily match the furniture of the main house.

A wine cellar cooling unit that blows warm air directly outside can be used. No need for an extra room to house the condenser unit if a split type is preferred. If one prefers to have an alarm for the cooling unit’s maintenance, it should be loud enough to be heard in the main house.

A door sweep is advisable to be placed under the wine cellar door for maintenance of the cool temperature inside the wine cellar. It is also prudent to install security locks and alarms for the door to ensure that the wine bottles are safe.
