Protect Your Investment – San Diego Wine Cellar Builders
Poor storage conditions deteriorate wine easily. Environmental factors, such as heat, vibration, and odor, affect the quality of wine. To protect wine from damage , many home San Diego owners invest in a wine room equipped with efficient refrigeration equipment. If you need a California residential wine cellar that will provide the right conditions for your collection, you can rely on Custom Wine Cellars San Diego.
Investing in a Residential Wine Cellar Will Benefit You
If you love to drink and collect wine, investing in a wine cellar can be a wise decision. Having your own refrigerated wine cellar at home offers many benefits. However, it would be smart to make sure that the cellar is built with the right components.
Provide the Best Conditions for Wine to Age Properly
Traditional Wooden Wine Racks for Storing Wine Collections
The quality of wine can be preserved only when it is stored in a climate-controlled room designed for this purpose.
Temperature and humidity, for example, are factors that need to be considered in wine cellar construction. They must be stabilized, in order to help wine reach its peak maturity before its consumption.
The temperature in San Diego residential wine cellars must be maintained at between 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity levels must stay within 60-70 percent. Failure to meet these conditions can cause wine faults, which can make wine undrinkable.
At Custom Wine Cellars San Diego, our main goal is to achieve the best storage conditions needed by for wine, so that it will age gracefully. We install quality components, based on our clients’ style, storage requirements, and budget. We want them to enjoy their wines for years to come.
Add Beauty to Your Home
Converting a room into a functional wine storage area is a growing trend around the world. Whether in the kitchen, entertainment area, or under the stairs, a private wine cellar can enhance the overall décor of living space.
Every client has unique personal preferences when it comes to designing his or her wine cellar. To satisfy the aesthetic requirements of our homeowners, we use our creativity in designing wine rooms.
We also encourage our clients to incorporate their own ideas into the wine racks, flooring, and doors. This will help us create visually appealing wine displays, that reflect the owner’s personality.
Easy Access to Your Favorite Wines
Running to a retail store every time you need a bottle of wine to serve for dinner or to entertain your guests is very inconvenient.
If you have your own home wine cellar, you can grab a bottle of wine any time.
At Custom Wine Cellars San Diego, we recommend using a wine cellar management system that will help you monitor and organize your collection. Locating a specific vintage should be an easy task.
Important Steps in the Construction of California Residential Wine Cellars
In converting a room into a wine cellar, there are critical steps that must be followed, to ensure that the cellar functions properly. This will prevent future problems, that would otherwise result in a waste of time and money.
It is best to work with a builder with extensive experience in designing and installing functional wine rooms. Custom Wine Cellars San Diego has been building residential wine cellars in California for more than 10 years. We take every step very seriously, to ensure that the finished product will enhance your wine drinking experience.
Creating a Wine Cellar Design
The planning stage of wine cellar construction helps us determine the functional, aesthetic, and financial requirements. We carefully assess

the room’s size and location, the number of bottles you want to store, and the overall appeal that you desire in your wine storage facility.
After the assessment of your requirements, we will create 3-dimensional drawings that will show the different elevations of your home wine cellar. The drawings will also show the style and features of the racking, flooring, cooling system, door, walls, and ceiling.
Room Preparation
Correct preparation of the room will prevent environmental factors from damaging your wines, walls, and ceiling. The room must be framed with wood studs. After the framing, the plumbing and electrical work must be installed.
Room Insulation and Installation of Vapor Barrier
Heat is a major enemy of wine. It can get into a wine cellar if the room is not sealed properly. Cool air will then escape the room. When this happens, there will be temperature fluctuations, which can deteriorate wine.
To prevent wine from becoming damaged due to unstable conditions, your wine room must be insulated by a professional. At Custom Wine Cellars San Diego, we understand the importance of insulation. We use expanding spray foam to fill all of the cracks.
Wooden Wine Racks
The humidity must also be regulated to preserve the structural integrity of your walls and ceiling. A vapor barrier is required in building a cooled wine cellar. A 6 or 8 plastic sheeting must be installed on the warm side of the room.
Installation of Wine Racks
After making sure that the room is properly sealed, the racking can be installed. Wine racks can be made of wood or metal, or a combination of these two materials.
You may opt for pre-built modular wine racks, to achieve a semi-custom racking system. We also build custom wine racks for collectors who want to incorporate their own creative ideas into their residential wine cellar design. This type of racking is built to fit in your storage space perfectly.
Wine Cooling System Installation
The wine refrigeration system is a vital component of a wine room. The size and type of your cooling unit must be chosen according to the layout of the room, the location, the size of the collection, and the other requirements of a given client.
We offer self-contained and split wine cellar cooling systems, which are designed to create the best environment for proper wine aging. We will determine the most suitable cooling unit for you. To prevent breakdowns of your wine refrigeration system, we do yearly inspections.
Wine Cellar Door
Custom Wooden Wine Cellar Door
The main function of the wine cellar door is to seal the wine cellar. It must be well constructed, to prevent the cool air from escaping the room and the warm air from entering the wine room. It must also be insulated, to provide a tight seal on the cellar.
Additionally, your door must be beautiful. We offer customization options to complement and enhance the existing décor of your living space. We use wood, wrought iron, and glass in manufacturing doors.
Wine Cellar Flooring
For the flooring, you can opt for marble, slate, vinyl, or tile. If you want an eco-friendly touch in your cellar, we recommend reclaimed wine barrel wood flooring. Having a good choice of wine cellar flooring adds character to a wine cellar.
We seal the flooring to avoid humidity problems in the future. We use a water-based sealant.
