What we build here
Options to consider for your San Ramon project
Phasing works best when the final layout is considered before the first racks are installed. Set aside access and mounting requirements now, and confirm matching components whenever you are ready to expand.
Choose a rack system
Compare VintageView, Modularack and other suitable racking against bottle formats, wall space and the appearance you want.
Draw the complete layout
Discuss the finished room with your contractor even when you are ordering a smaller first phase. Keep doors and equipment service areas clear.
Check availability at each stage
Planning to add racks later? Bring Mike the system name and finish to check current matching components before the next purchase.
How a cellar happens
From a San Ramon 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 San Ramon 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.

San Ramon questions we get asked
How long does a San Ramon 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 San Ramon 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 San Ramon 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.
Do I have to buy all the racking at once?
Not necessarily. Discuss a phased layout with Wine Hardware, including how future additions would mount and fit. We cannot promise that a manufacturer’s range or finish will stay available indefinitely.
