A Wine Cellar Garage Conversion Project

Hey, we are at Dana Point California today and we are going to look at a residential wine cellar project that we wrapped up just this last October.  As you can see, this is a 2-car garage and we actually took a portion or a segment of approximately 5′ long and 5′ wide, and we were able to store some 675 bottles.

We had a few obstacles to overcome besides all the bicycles and all the storage things because of the garage door and the track that it rolls on.  We had a limited height to work with, but we were able to maintain some of the storage as you can see above here.

The Wine Cellar Door – Tuscan

All in all, the wine cellar design came out really nice.  The clients are very, very happy.  The entry is our Tuscan wine cellar door.

It is a radius or true arch with a wrought iron gate and you can see some of the fine detail on the wrought iron with the grapes and the grape leaves.  It’s a really nice theme, a very popular theme.

One of the nicest features of our Tuscan wine cellar door is that the wrought iron is actually operable.  You can lift this little latch here on a hinge for cleaning purposes, so you can keep the dual pane glass free of dust and still create a nice view right into the wine cellar.  The latch very simply attaches back to the wine cellar door.

We’re really happy how this all turned out.  The customer picked out the paint scheme.  It’s kind of a wine color that looks very, very nice with the Premium Redwood.

See the subtle color variations in the wood.  It really looks nice with this Pinot color scheme.  The flooring is actually, although it looks like its wood, is cork floor, so it has a little bit of gist to it.

As you first enter the residential wine cellar, this particular client has lots of these wooden boxes for magnums and even for certainly larger wood cases for 12 packs and 6 packs, but we start off the run here with a solid quarter round display shelf.

As we move back further into the cellar, lots of large format bottles (1.5-liter, 3-liter, 6-liter and even in the back you can see a 12-liter bottle).  It was very important to him to be able to store and display these properly.

These are in a label forward horizontal display format.  In the case of a smaller magnum-style bottle, we can get as many as four per opening, and two bottles per opening in a larger 3-bottle format.  These wood shelves here are actually adjustable, so as his collection changes over the months and years, he can certainly adjust the shelving to their proper spacing.

This back wall here, which is quite beautiful, also has adjustable shelves which were intended for wooden cases but certainly they’re fine for decorative features and things of that nature.  The bottom portion of the shelf is a double deep lattice diamond bin for bulk configuration that certainly increased the capacity of this 12′ x 5′ wine room.

The lattice-style feature of the diamond bin allows for good air flow around the bottles and adds some nice attractive feature to the wine cellar.  We come back down to the right side of the wall.  We’ve got lots of single bottle storage with a high reveal display row.

These bottles are pitched to the 15 degree angle, so they’re liquid is still in contact with the cork.  It gives the wine room a little character and it certainly shows off some of the labels.  It is also a good management tool because you can put like wines above and below the display row.

This case opening here is indeed a solid case opening with a solid premium redwood tabletop.  We have drawers here for every day accoutrements – corkscrews, napkins, and whatever you need for your wine cellar.  More bulk storage down below in a diamond configuration.

The Wine Cellar Cooling Unit – CellarPro

The wine cellar cooling unit is a self-contained CellarPro cooling unit with variable fan speeds that will deal with temperatures of up to 110 degrees.  This one actually exhausts to the outdoors, so we’ll take a look at that in a moment.

The wine cellar cooling unit has an extended housing or extended cover, I should say, to protect the housing from the elements and it has a reasonable air filter as well, one that could be washed.  This is the rear of the wine cellar cooling unit that I was telling you about.

It extends beyond the house a little bit, but more so than the last project that we looked at because of this added depth to protect the rear exhaust and the reusable aluminum filter that protects it from the elements.  The drain line here simply drains off into the flower bed.
