Serving Piedmont
Custom wine cellars in Piedmont
A basement, pantry or spare wall can make room for wine. Check moisture, the vapor barrier and ventilation before choosing racking or cooling.

What we build here
What a cellar in Piedmont could look like
Treat the existing details as design inputs. Doorways, trim, wall construction and the route into the house can shape the storage you choose as much as the size of the collection.
Bring the finish references
Compare rack materials against your cabinetry and trim samples. Decide what should match and where a different material would look right.
Measure the usable space
Record ceiling height, doors and obstructions before you count bottles. Keep retrieval space and equipment access in the layout.
Review the door with the room
If the project includes a cooled enclosure, look at its door and sealing requirements alongside the look you are after.
What we do here
Four jobs, one showroom
We plan and supply the cellar. Mike sizes the storage and cooling, orders the equipment, and schedules the contractors he brings in for the build and installation.
Design and capacity
Rack elevations and a bottle count by format, so you know what the room holds before anything is ordered.
Racking
VintageView metal, Modularack pine, redwood and mahogany kits, and custom millwork when the room refuses to be rectangular.
Cooling
WhisperKOOL, Wine Guardian, CellarPro and CellarCool, sized against the room's heat load rather than its square footage.
Install coordination
Delivery, the install date and the contractors Mike brings in, coordinated from the showroom so the room is ready when the equipment is.

Straight answers
Asked in Piedmont
- Can I add wine storage without a spare basement?
- Yes. A cabinet or another suitable interior space may do it. Send Mike dimensions and photos and he will help you compare the options before you commit to a room conversion.
- The basement is already cool. Is that enough?
- Log the temperature and humidity over time, including warm weather. Share the readings and your storage plans with Mike before deciding whether the space needs cooling.
- How long does a cellar in Piedmont take?
- It depends on design decisions, product availability and the schedule of the contractors Mike brings in. Tell Mike your plans and target date and he will walk through the next steps and current lead times.
- Do you come out to Piedmont to measure?
- Send whatever dimensions and photos you have to (925) 944-1084. Between you Mike will work out whether a site visit would help, who handles it and which drawings the project needs.
- What will it cost?
- It depends on room prep, racking, cooling and finishes. Send dimensions and a bottle count and Mike will talk through the scope and what he needs to put a project quote together.
- What if I already have a Piedmont general contractor or architect?
- Mike works alongside them when the cellar is part of a larger project. Bring the current plans while the construction details, equipment requirements and finishes can still move.
