A 3D drawing comes in handy when you build your own wine cellar, because it allows you to preview the project and make design revisions before construction takes place.

Professional wine cellar designers and builders are committed to building a wine cellar space that is both functional and aesthetical pleasing.  Let’s take a look at some of their recently completed climate controlled custom residential wine cellar projects.

Seattle Washington Project

This elegant 1,367 bottle capacity custom wine cellar in Seattle, Washington, is designed with a French rustic appearance and elaborate hand carved detailing on the doors, panels, and molding.  The wine room features a sitting area (which serves as an entertainment hub and wine tasting room) that is completely separate from the refrigerated wine storage space.

Custom wine rack styles include: single bottle storage racks that fit most standard size wine bottles, label forward displays that facilitate horizontal placement of wine bottles and provide clear visibility of wine labels, and X-bin racking for bulk storage.  To allow for the seamless, wall to wall transition of wine storage racks, curved racking was installed around the corners.

As seen when you come through the wine cellar door, the back includes a beautiful lighted mural arch tabletop, flanked by glass cabinet doors with a cathedral design.  To enhance the visual appeal of the racking wall, master wine cellar builders added two vertical window display shelves that feature leaf designed columns with detailed crown molding.

Below the tabletop counter are 27’ double deep cabinets, with handcrafted grape vine designs that provide a customized appearance of the racking display.  All of the wine racking was constructed in Mahogany wood.  Specialized LED-based spot lighting was used as the main light source.  This lighting system helps accentuate the intricate hand carved design of this beautiful wine room.

Naperville Chicago Illinois Project

For this custom wine cellar Naperville Illinois project, a small closet was converted into a climate controlled wine room that has a total storage capacity of 497 wine bottles.  To maximize the storage space, a combination of single bottle storage racks with a high reveal display row was installed.  Display racks with high reveal are ideal for showcasing your favorite wine collectibles.

This residential wine room has glass windows and door that show off the unfinished Premium redwood wine racks.  Waterfall wine racks were installed on both sides of the storage space, for a tasteful display of wine bottles through large front windows.  The back wall features a tabletop with a glass rack, made from the same wood variety as the wine racking.

There are crucial things to consider when deciding to build your own wine cellar, such as the location and size of your wine storage space, the number of wine bottles you intend to collect, amount of insulation, the number of wine cellar furniture, and budget.

Your wine cellar space must provide the best possible environment for your wine collectibles.  Hence, it is always recommended that you consult with professional wine cellar designers and builders when you finally decide to build your own wine cellar.  This will ensure that your custom wine room has an environment that is not only ideal for aging, but also for hosting tasting parties.

Custom Wine Cellar Doors

But you know one part of the wine cellar that often goes overlooked until the very end? Wine cellar doors. Don’t leave your door as an afterthought. It is as important as your cellar itself.

As many options as you have for cellars, your options for cellar doors are just as limitless. Keep in mind that the door needs to be exterior-grade, provide insulation, and have proper weather stripping. Beyond the practicality of the door you pick – it is the FIRST thing you and your guests see when you walk into your cellar. You want to pick something that not only fits the rest of your home but also fits your cellar AND your personality.

If you choose a door that opens into your cellar, but make sure that the door will not hit any racks (or, more importantly, any bottles of wine) when it opens. If you pick a door with glass, make sure the glass is duel pane tempered glass and properly fits the door frame. Most of the cold air that escapes from a wine cellar escapes from under the door. An automatic door bottom will help to seal below the door. If you pick a poor door, then all of the work you’ve invested in your cellar and your wine may be for nothing.

Any wine collector knows that a wine cellar is the way to go. Not only does it give you total control over your wine and its storage, but it will also, in time, add value to your home.

You may choose between solid wooden door, a glass door with wooden frame and wrought iron grill, and a seamless glass door.
