Designing a traditional home wine cellar in Laguna Hills required overcoming challenges like removing a fireplace and window to ensure proper temperature and humidity control for wine preservation. Custom Wine Cellar’s team transformed the space, installing a custom black-framed glass door with an LVL frame and 4×4 hinges for durability and a tight seal. Inside, black-stained wooden racks offer a 500-bottle capacity, featuring versatile storage options like glassware shelves and magnum rows.

A vibrant Thai restaurant once struggled with spoiled wines due to improper storage. To resolve this, the owner hired Custom Wine Cellar to convert an underutilized space into a state-of-the-art wine cellar.

The project began with a comprehensive evaluation and design process—complete with 2D and 3D renderings of modern glass wine racks that seamlessly matched the restaurant’s aesthetic and functional needs. The space was completely stripped, insulated with closed-cell foam, and outfitted with proper ducting to maintain ideal temperature and humidity levels.

The custom wine racks feature a blend of brushed stainless steel rods and rich walnut wood accents, combining modern elegance with traditional Asian décor while securely accommodating various bottle sizes. Ambient and customizable RGB lighting set the perfect mood, and frameless tempered glass doors—with U-channel supports and an advanced locking system—ensure an airtight seal for secure storage.

Additionally, an HS 10,000 split cooling system operates silently and efficiently to preserve the wines’ integrity. The open design of the racks enhances visibility, encouraging customers to explore and purchase premium wines, ultimately boosting revenue and elevating the restaurant’s luxurious appeal.

The restaurant’s original wine cellar had major flaws, including poor cooling, ill-fitted doors, and an inefficient racking system. To fix this, a powerful 18,000 BTU split cooling system was installed, ensuring consistent temperatures—45°F for champagne and 55°F for wine. The doors were upgraded to seven-foot wooden frames with dual-paned glass and Q-lon seals to prevent air leaks, though the original locks remained despite security concerns.

The racking system was replaced with gold VintageView triple-deep racks for better accessibility and display. Upper sections were filled with dummy bottles to eliminate the need for ladders. To ensure longevity, biannual maintenance checks were recommended, following best practices from high-end projects like the Ritz-Carlton. This renovation transformed the cellar into a functional and elegant feature, enhancing the restaurant’s guest experience.
