INNOVATIVE INNOVATIVE WINE WINE CELLAR CELLAR DESIGNS DESIGNS I

nnovative Wine Cellar Designs is the nation's premier custom full-service wine cellar design, build and install company for homes and businesses in Arizona. They are a family-owned and operated company established in 2002.

Sandy Horwitz decided to reinvent himself having owned a California Closets franchise in Phoenix and Scottsdale for many years. After doing some research, Sandy found that wine sales were outselling beer sales and that there was a need for temperature-controlled cellars, especially in the desert, for wine enthusiasts to properly store their growing collections. IWCD's clientele range from the casual collector with hundreds of bottles to the aficionado with thousands of bottles.

Over the years, IWCD has expanded into the hospitality industry and has built some of the most amazing wine cellars in many fine restaurants all over the United States. IWCD has been on the cutting edge of moving the direction of the traditional wood wine cellars into the new and exciting contemporary cellars using stainless steel, acrylic, highgloss veneers and exotic woods. Gone are the days of the traditional walk-in cellar. The trend is now the sleek new look of wine walls.

IWCD works closely with the design community as well as most of the valley's custom home builders. Their wine cellars can be found in many model homes throughout the valley. IWCD has also expanded their market into Nevada as well as California. The in-house design staff is committed to a seamless experience to create your wine cellar and to provide excellent customer service.
