Wine cellars in Piedmont
Integrated Wine Storage in Piedmont
A Piedmont cellar can work with the rooms and finishes you already value. Bring Wine Hardware photos, measurements and any trim or cabinet details you want to retain. We will help you compare fitted racking, a cabinet or a separate room without assuming the scope.

What we build here
Options to consider for your Piedmont project
Treat existing details as design inputs. Doorways, trim, wall construction and the route into the house can affect the storage you choose as much as the size of the collection.
Bring the finish references
Compare rack materials with your cabinetry and trim samples. Discuss what should match and where a different material would work.
Measure the usable space
Record ceiling height, doors and obstructions before counting bottles. Keep retrieval space and equipment access in the layout.
Review the door with the room
If the project includes a cooled enclosure, consider its door and sealing requirements alongside the desired appearance.
How a cellar happens
From a Piedmont 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.
The parts
What goes into a Piedmont cellar
All of it is stocked or ordered through the Walnut Creek showroom, and every one of them is a decision we can make with you before you buy.
Rack kits and custom racking
VintageView metal, Modularack pine, redwood and mahogany designer kits, and fully custom millwork when the room refuses to be rectangular.

Wine refrigerators and cabinets
Compare Transtherm wine cabinets and Marvel built-in refrigerators when a full cellar room is more than you need. Check the exact model’s ventilation, access and bottle-fit requirements.

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.
Visit the Locust Street showroom on a weekday, or arrange a Saturday appointment to discuss your plans.

Piedmont questions we get asked
How long does a Piedmont 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 Piedmont 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 Piedmont 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.
Can I add wine storage without a spare basement?
A cabinet or another suitable interior space may work. Send dimensions and photos so Wine Hardware can help you compare options before committing to a room conversion.
