The Main Cellar: A Haven for Long-Term Storage

Situated on the first floor, the main wine cellar is a true sanctuary for wine enthusiasts. It’s designed for long-term storage, boasting an elegant and functional Elevate wine racking system by Kessick. The sleek, modern aesthetic is accentuated by acrylic shelves supported by vertical metal posts, creating a visually striking display that seamlessly integrates with the home’s contemporary design.

Wines and Spirits on Sophisticated and Playful Display

This exquisite looking wine room where you can age the wines gracefully can be accessed through frameless, dual-panel glass doors. Inside is a gem with a clean, minimalist feel. But while you are surrounded by horizontally displayed wine bottle, the vertical display in the middle can get your eyes fixated long enough to appreciate some spirits – tequila, champagne, vodka, etc. While its primary purpose is for vertical bottle display, you can also deposit other items to spice things up, such as cigar boxes or art pieces, among others.

Adding to its rich modern design is a marble wall that goes into the wine cellar, and then diving into the light panels. This feature is the client’s concept that Vintage Cellars’ design team carried out seamlessly.

Built-In Modern Luxury Wine Cellar for Everyday Wines

Ascending to the second floor, the second wine cellar that’s integrated into the wall awaits. It caters to the homeowners’ desire for readily accessible wines. This conveniently located retreat serves as a luxurious staging area for the bottles frequently enjoyed.

Compared to the main floor wine cellar, its depth is shallower, with the wine bottles individually displayed in label forward position.

Except for the depth, both wine cellars possess the same features. They are accessible through double-panel glass doors with marble accents on the wall.

This Modern Luxury Wine Cellar is a Feast for the Senses

The design of these wine cellars is a true feast for the senses, with every detail meticulously crafted to enhance the overall experience.

Integrating EleVate Wine Racking System by Kessick

Made with acrylic and vertical metal post for the space, Kessick’s impressive Elevate racking series is just the right choice for this luxury home’s modern appeal. Its efficient and stellar performance in storing wines elegantly compliments the luxury home’s features – stainless-steel accents, metal fixtures, and glass materials. Perfectly, the wine racks blend with them and creates an elegant, harmonious, and cohesive environment.

LED Lighting System That Promises 60,000 Hours of Wow Feeling

Stuffing the wine cellar with warm lights might be a cause for worry for some, considering how they might affect the temperature. But that is exactly the reason why Vintage Cellars strategically installed LEDs to illuminate the exquisite wine displays.

Soft, ambient illumination emanates from the bottom and top of the racking systems, highlighting the labels and creating a warm, inviting ambiance. This thoughtful lighting design not only showcases the wines but also enhances the overall visual appeal of the cellars.

Frameless Glass Doors That Intensify the Ultra-Modern Style

Using glass as the primary material for a wine cellar door raises some concerns, mainly temperature regulation. Although it can be used without issues, extra care should be practiced. With the glass design concept, a builder should also consider other factors like location and climate.

If you live near the coast, just like where this luxury modern wine cellar in Newport Beach is, you are likely to leave the doors and windows open most times and not use the air-conditioning frequently. Subsequently, natural, humid air will come into the space probably causing condensation. This can be a problem for your wine cellar, which is in theory a refrigerator. In this case, you will have to raise your temperature to serving temperature, ranging from 63 to 65 degrees, rather than long temperature of 55 to 57.

Vintage Cellars expert handling of the wine cellars allowed the homeowners to go all glass without compromising efficient wine storage. The team was able to achieve that complete modern, sophisticated style with dual-panel glass doors with metal handles, not having to worry about the factors that can affect the temperature.

Top-Tier Cooling Systems for Efficient Wine Storage

Such a sophisticated luxury modern wine cellar in Newport Beach deserves only the best cooling systems. Considering the space and temperature requirement, Vintage Cellars used two different cooling systems.

Main Cellar Cooling System

In the main wine cellar, the team installed an RM 6600 HV cooling system. The unit is recessed into the ceiling with a custom louvered opening for the air supply and return. The masterful installation perfectly conceals the equipment to preserve the clean finish. Still, it can easily be access for repairs or maintenance.

Second Floor Cooling System

Powering the second floor wine cellar is a little trickier but the team managed to pull it off seamlessly as well. Between the first and second floor, the team created a special access panel to the ducted cooling unit. The cooling unit’s ducts run underneath the floor so that the supply and return goes directly up into the wine cellar through the air vents located on the base.
