What we build here
Options to consider for your Napa project
A room designed around one standard bottle can leave awkward space for the rest of a collection. Bring representative bottle and case dimensions so each storage type earns its place in the layout.
Separate the bottle formats
Compare individual racks with spaces for larger bottles and cases. Count capacity against the collection, rather than assuming every slot holds the same shape.
Plan access to stored cases
Allow room to retrieve cases and reach bottles without unloading another section. Keep equipment service access out of the storage count.
Include commercial use
For winery or tasting-room projects, describe stock movement, display needs and staff access alongside the collection. Review cooling with that use in mind.
How a cellar happens
From a Napa floor plan to a stocked cellar
Agree on the scope, equipment and current lead times before ordering. The schedule depends on the room, products and work your contractor needs to complete.
Tell us about the room
Where the wine will live, how many bottles you own now, and how many you expect in five years. Photos and a rough sketch are enough.
Measure and check the envelope
Dimensions, insulation, vapour barrier, glass area, power, and where the heat can go. This is the step that prevents expensive surprises.
Design and capacity
Rack elevations, bottle count by bottle type, cooling options and finishes — reviewed before anything is ordered.
Order and coordinate
We supply racking, cooling, doors and refrigeration, and give your contractor rough-in notes for power, framing and condensate.
Prepare to fill the room
Review the layout and equipment instructions with your project team. Then bring your wine and accessory questions to Mike at the showroom to plan how you will stock and use the space.

Wine refrigerators and cabinets

Before you decide
Drive over and put your hands on it
Photographs flatten everything. Racking depth, the weight of a glass door, the actual noise a cooling unit makes at three feet — those you have to stand next to.

Napa questions we get asked
How long does a Napa cellar take?
Timing depends on design decisions, product availability and contractor scheduling. Contact Wine Hardware with your plans and target date so the next steps and current lead times can be discussed.
Do you come out to Napa to measure?
To work out the measurements your room needs, call Mike at (925) 944-1084. Bring any dimensions or photos you have. You can discuss whether a site visit would help, who would handle it and which drawings your project needs.
What will it cost?
Cost depends on the room preparation, racking, cooling and finishes. Send dimensions and a bottle count so we can discuss the scope and the information needed for a project quote.
Can you work with my Napa contractor or architect?
We can discuss the cellar scope with your contractor or architect. Bring the plans to review construction details, equipment requirements and responsibilities before finishes are fixed.
Does Wine Hardware help with Napa commercial cellars?
Yes. Our commercial cellar service covers wine storage and display for wineries, restaurants and other businesses. Send your plans and the way the space will be used to start the discussion.
