San Diego Experts in Wine Cellar Design

Are you in doubt about whether to start their wine cellar project or not? You may have been dreaming of having a beautiful and functional wine cellar in your home or commercial space for a long time. If you think that designing a custom wine cellar is complicated, you are wrong! When you work with Custom Wine Cellars San Diego, you will have a worry-free experience. No challenges can hinder us from designing exceptional wine rooms. We follow five crucial steps in wine cellar design.  

San Diego Experts Follow 5 Steps in Wine Cellar Design  

When you work with a professional builder like Custom Wine Cellars San Diego, you can ensure that your functional and aesthetic requirements will be met. Our designers are trained, skilled, and knowledgeable in designing refrigerated wine rooms. We have built a good reputation in the construction industry. 

To create the perfect design for each wine cellar, we will follow five essential steps to help us determine the specific needs of our clients.  

Step 1:   We Will Ask You How You Want to Store Your Wine Collection  

You must have a clear description of how you want to store our prized wines. It will help us to create the ideal design based on your requirements and prevent future disappointments. Here are some of the questions that we typically ask our clients as part of the assessment process: 

• What is your primary purpose for building a wine cellar in your home or commercial establishment? (Is it mainly for storage or display purposes?) 
• Where is the location of your wine cellar? Do you want it to be built in your basement, garage, dining area, kitchen, living room, or under your staircase?  
• How big is your collection? How many bottles and what types of wine do you intend to display and store in your wine cellar? (Your wine racks will be designed based on your answers to these questions.) 
• What ambiance do you want to achieve in your wine cellar? (Our decision on the type and design of wine cellar lighting will be based on the mood you want to create in your wine room.)   
• Do you want wine racks made from wood, metal or a combination of both? (Wood wine racks are ideal for traditional wine cellars; metal wine racks are for contemporary wine rooms, and meal and wood for transitional wine cellars) 

• Do you prefer kit wine racks or customized racking? (Custom wine racks are more expensive than ready racking, but they will be designed according to the shape of your wine cellar and your specific requirements.   
• What custom features do you want to incorporate into your wine cellar design to make it look more attractive and functional? (Wine barrel flooring, murals, stonework, etc., can be added). 
• Do you have an adjacent room in your wine cellar that can be used for proper dissipation of the heat coming from your wine cooling unit?  (This will help us determine the correct type of wine refrigeration system to install in your wine room.) 
• Do you want your wine cooling unit to be hidden from view?  
• Are there heat resources nearby your wine cellar? (We will consider these heat sources in our heat load calculation, a process used for determining the size of the climate control system ideal for each project)   

• How much are you willing to spend on your wine cellar project? (You have to let us know your budget during the assessment or planning stage so we can find the ideal wine storage solution for your needs.)  

Step 2: Discuss All Your Preferences for Your Wine Cellar Design  

When you work with Custom Wine Cellars San Diego, we will conduct an interview to know all the information necessary for us to create the perfect wine cellar design for your space. Do not hesitate to ask questions and discuss your expectations. We will also schedule an on-site visit if needed.  

You have to work closely with the designer to bring your ideas to life. Your dream wine cellar is within your reach when you work with experts.    

Create 3-Dimensional Wine Cellar Design

To help you visualize your dream wine cellar, our team will create 3-dimensional images based on our assessment during the interview and on-site visit. With extensive skills in 3D imaging, our design team will create CAD drawings showing the details specified by the owner.  

After about three days, you will receive an email from us consisting of the 3D presentation of the wine room you envision. Our design package includes the plan views (in PDF form), racking styles, dimensions, bottle capacities, and a 5-minute video about the design layout.  

Step 4: We Will Contact You to Confirm the Receipt of Your Wine Cellar Design
