VIN DE GARDE 2013 Science. Wine. Design.
Vancouver, BC | Brooklyn, NY
WELCOME TO VIN DE GARDE. We are a wine cellar company inspired by a combination of entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for collectible wine and modern design. From our offices in Brooklyn, NY and Vancouver, BC, we work on custom residential and commercial projects across the globe. Our expertise and approach to design is truly unique to the wine cellar industry where we focus on creating simple and efficient wine storage solutions while providing an ideal environment for wine to age long term. Our designs are far from ordinary – by using fundamentals in industrial design, engineering and architecture and my education in fine wine, design and wood sciences, we have successfully developed a number of ingenious wine storage designs. Having installed hundreds of unique projects around the world, my travels have brought me far and wide for inspiration. VIN DE GARDE’s resulting original designs are aimed at discerning wine collectors and wine lovers alike. Our sommelier, designers and artisans will work with you to ensure that your collection is displayed beautifully and efficiently. Billy Carpenter Owner

We deliver complete, turn-key solutions for your wine storage and we offer our education in wine, our understanding of how to store and knowledge of products available to maintain it to everyone involved in your project. We build our custom wine cellar storage products in steel, aluminum, wood, acrylics and glass — and are the only company in the world to combine our designs with these materials. Each one of our artisans are experts in their respective fields, from stone masons to fine furniture finishing. Our trades are certified and ticketed, our engineers and designers are professionals. We have researched and developed a number of unique wine storage products. We design and build each and every product that goes into your wine cellar, from mechanical and cooling systems to custom inventory solutions.

HOW WE WORK We build an in-depth understanding of long term requirements for aging wine and how to prepare the cellar space for each project. We design with your collection as the focus – what you collect, how you collect and how you want to showcase your collection are key considerations. DESIGN The design phase includes a complimentary consultation in our showroom to begin our working relationship and set clear expectations. We use this time to discover features, function and attribute that suit your needs. We then provide recommendations based on our extensive experience in building some of the finest wine cellars in the world.
— Our designers tools range from hand sketching to advanced 3D modeling.

BUILD Your custom wine cellar is fabricated from your original conceptual design with the greatest attention to detail. It starts with an exact cut list and programming for our automated machinery and then progresses to the ‘dry fit’ stage to ensure each component is finished to the highest standard to work within our custom wine cellar system.
