CUSTOM WINE CELLARS
RALEIGH, NC
Your Wine Collection Deserves a Space as Exceptional as the Wine Itself
We design and build custom wine storage areas that fit your home and lifestyle.
Whether you’ve been collecting for years or just discovered the joy of fine wine, your collection is an investment worth protecting.
Many wines take years—sometimes decades—to reach their peak. That’s why creating a custom home wine room
is about more than looks; it’s about preservation. Our expert designers help Raleigh-area homeowners
build and install temperature-controlled spaces that protect valuable bottles and enhance their homes.
Why a Dedicated Wine Cellar?
Improper storage can ruin even the finest bottle. Fluctuating temperature, low humidity, and UV exposure can dry corks, fade labels, and damage flavor. A modern wine cellar keeps everything stable so your collection matures gracefully.
Ideal storage conditions include:
A properly built residential wine room includes insulation, sealing, and wine cellar cooling systems that maintain these conditions year-round.
Our Wine Cellar Design Process
Consultation &
Planning
It doesn’t matter how your collection began—protecting it matters. We start with a design consultation to evaluate your space, aesthetic, and storage goals. Together we plan a custom wine storage solution that complements your home.
Design & Material
Selection
From traditional Estate and Reserve series to contemporary EleVate, Wine As Art, and Contemporary lines, our team creates storage spaces that suit any home.
Using premium woods like Sapele Mahogany, Walnut, and White Oak, we craft elegant wine cabinets and displays. Modular systems arrive mostly assembled for a precise, durable installation.
Refrigeration &
Humidity Control
There’s a key difference between air conditioning and true cellar refrigeration. Dedicated cooling maintains both temperature and humidity, preventing mold and cork damage. As an experienced wine cellar contractor, we ensure your installation performs perfectly from the start.
Installation &
Finishing Touches
