What to look at

Four things worth noticing on the way round

When you are in the tour, these are the decisions you are looking at, and the ones we will ask you about for your own room.

  • 01

    The wood

    Notice what you like about the alder, walnut and redwood in these projects. Bring Mike a photo of your room’s finishes to compare materials and check which samples are available.

  • 02

    Bottle formats

    Compare the bottle slots and bin depths with your collection. Magnums and wider bottles may need different spacing; check the exact rack’s dimensions and bottle-fit guidance.

  • 03

    Where the cooling is

    Look for equipment placement, ventilation and service access. Discuss those requirements with the project team before the room is finished.

  • 04

    The display row

    A label-forward display row can make favorite bottles easier to identify. Discuss its height, bottle fit and effect on capacity when comparing racking options.

From tour to your room

How one of these happens

Keep a note of the details you liked. Mike can help you compare those ideas with your room before you agree on the design work and equipment.

  1. Show Mike your starting point

    Email Mike a photo, dimensions and a bottle count at michael@winehardware.com. Include the tour you liked so you can talk about what might carry over to your room.

  2. We check the envelope

    Insulation, vapor barrier, glass, power and where the heat can be rejected. This decides which cooling systems are even on the table.

  3. Design and capacity

    Rack elevations in the wood you picked, a 3D design, a bottle count by format, and a cooling recommendation with a budget range attached.

  4. Build and stock

    We supply and coordinate, your contractor builds, and cellar clients get 10% off wine and 20% off wine accessories for one year after purchase.

Questions about the projects

Can I visit one of these cellars?
Private cellars, no. They are people's houses. The Walnut Creek showroom has racking in the woods we use, cabinets you can open, and glassware you can hold up to daylight, and the 360° tour above is the next best thing to standing in a finished room.
Does the 360° tour work on a phone?
Yes. Drag to look around, pinch to zoom. It only downloads after you press the button, so it never slows the page down for people who are only reading.
Which wood should I choose?
Compare wood samples with the room’s finishes and lighting. Wine Hardware’s documented projects include alder, walnut and redwood; its rack catalog also includes mahogany. Confirm the selected material, finish and care requirements for your project.
How big can a cellar be?
As big as the room and the cooling allow. The self-contained and ducted units we sell are rated for cellars from 250 to 8,500 cubic feet, so a closet and a walk-in room are both within reach. Send us the dimensions and we will tell you what yours can hold.
Can you build something like this in my house?
The room and its cooling requirements will shape what is possible. Show Mike the tour you like and photos of your own space to compare the layout, materials and equipment before choosing a design.
