Custom Wine Cellars
Signature Collection Custom Wine Cellars
Signature Collection Custom wine cellars The Signature Collection wine cellar series were created from our 20+ years of traveling the world designing cellars for corporate executives, heads of state, and royal families. These unique collections of hardwood cellars are offered in three décor themes. The Winemaker Series (see page 3) features an exclusive blend of reclaimed wine barrel materials along with oak accents that are stained in
red wine. The Tuscan Series (see page 4) features selected distressed moldings, trim and pillars along with the use of ironwork built into the cabinet doors to create a true old world Tuscany appearance. Finally, the Cambridge Series (see page 5) resembles the essence of a formal English library, using heavy moldings and gothic cathedral mullion cabinet doors.
The Private Reserve Collection is for those who are looking for yet a higher level custom wine cellar. This ultra-custom cellar is offered for those who want an ultimate one-of-a-kind design. We have converted caves into cellars, excavated under a house to create a cellar beneath the living room with a glass floor to view the cellar below. Imagine a two story cellar connected with a spiral staircase — the possibilities are endless! Contact your wine cellar consultant to learn more about this exclusive collection. Signature design and CAD services require a great deal of exclusive attention to your individualized project. As a result, a design fee is charged. This fee is 100% refunded when the order is confirmed. As part of the service we will consult with you and/or your designer to design and build the Signature Collection best suited to your décor theme. Services include a detailed plan and front view color CAD drawing, cooling system load analysis, written proposal with a breakdown of the cellar components and bottle capacity, complete list of what needs to be “done by others,” and installation schedule. 2

The Tuscan Series embodies the rural eloquence of Tuscany using distressed wood cabinetry and moldings, ironwork within the cabinet doors and hardware, and columns with boldly coved capitals. Ribbon sapele is the material used for this series. It is an imported hardwood from Africa that has a reddish-brown color and often contains a beautiful purple cast. This series brings to mind the image of a Tuscan villa.
