Custom wine cellars
The Signature Collection wine cellar series were created from our 20+ years of traveling the world designing
cellars for corporate executives, heads of state, and royal
families. These unique collections of hardwood cellars are
offered in three décor themes. The Winemaker Series (see
page 3) features an exclusive blend of reclaimed wine barrel materials along with oak accents that are stained in
red wine. The Tuscan Series (see page 4) features selected
distressed moldings, trim and pillars along with the use of
ironwork built into the cabinet doors to create a true old
world Tuscany appearance. Finally, the Cambridge Series
(see page 5) resembles the essence of a formal English library, using heavy moldings and gothic cathedral mullion
cabinet doors.
The Private Reserve Collection is for those who are looking
for yet a higher level custom wine cellar. This ultra-custom cellar
is offered for those who want an ultimate one-of-a-kind design.
We have converted caves into cellars, excavated under a house to
create a cellar beneath the living room with a glass floor to view
the cellar below. Imagine a two story cellar connected with a spiral
staircase — the possibilities are endless! Contact your wine cellar
consultant to learn more about this exclusive collection.
Signature design and CAD services
require a great deal of exclusive attention to your individualized project. As
a result, a design fee is charged. This
fee is 100% refunded when the order is
confirmed. As part of the service we will
consult with you and/or your designer to
design and build the Signature Collection
best suited to your décor theme. Services
include a detailed plan and front view color
CAD drawing, cooling system load analysis, written proposal with a breakdown of
the cellar components and bottle capacity,
complete list of what needs to be “done by
others,” and installation schedule.

are built much the same as any private cellar using properly sized cooling systems, entrance doors, tasting tables,
