Walnut Creek, California

A custom redwood wall, every bottle in its own slot, turning the corner without losing one. In the bay, kits we stock: VintageView Evolution rails, a Modularack and a WhisperKOOL unit.

The rack wall

A place for every bottle.

Give the wall a width and a height. Pick the racking you like. The kit fills the wall and tells you what it holds and what it costs, from the kits we stock in our Walnut Creek showroom.

A rack wall drawn to scale: custom individual-bottle redwood racking on 3.75 inch centers, a curved corner, VintageView rails and a Modularack. — Rack wall plannerCapacity comes from each kit's own specification. Your door, your outlets and your bottle sizes decide the final count; Mike checks all three.

What we build

Home cellars, commercial rooms, and 360 tours.

Most cellars start as something else: a closet, the void under the stairs, a dining room wall, a back room behind the bar.

At home
Residential cellars
We build home cellars in a closet, under the stairs or across a whole room. Send a photo and a bottle count; we tell you what it holds and what it takes to keep it at 55 degrees.
See residential cellars
At work
Commercial cellars
We put your wine list on display, keep your stock within reach and size the cooling for a door that keeps opening through service.

Walk through a finished cellar

We photographed four finished cellars in 360 so you can look around the rooms before you plan your own.

Cooling

Keep it at 55 degrees.

Compare your room volume with the manufacturers' published ratings. Mike checks glass, insulation and surrounding spaces before recommending a model.

Shop cooling Ask Mike which model

A room drawn to the size you set, with the cooling unit placed where it installs — Sizing follows the manufacturers' own tables. Insulation, vapor barrier and where the heat goes decide the final model; Mike checks them with you.

The equipment

Build around the collection.

The brands we sell are the brands we design cellars around. Send Mike the room details to check fit and installation needs before ordering.
