Our Craft
Your Wine Collection Deserves To Be Showcased
For over 20 years, Cachet Wine Cellars has served homeowners and businesses across North America—transforming basements, closets, under-stair spaces, and dedicated rooms into climate-controlled sanctuaries where your collection thrives. We've designed and built 500+ wine cellars, from intimate 100-bottle residences to 4,000+ bottle commercial installations at MGM Grand, Palazzo, Waldorf Astoria, and Caesars. Here's what we know after two decades: most wine collections fail not because of what you drink, but because of how they're stored. Temperature swings from 40°F to 90°F between seasons, which in turn expand and contract the cork until the seal is gone. Humidity that fluctuates wildly follows close behind — warping wood, inviting mold, or drying out the very barrier standing between your wine and the air. Shelving that doesn't support bottles at the correct angle accelerates that damage quietly, over the years, until you open something you've waited a decade for and it's already turned. The standard solutions — closets, basements, wine fridges — weren't engineered for this. None of them can hold the ±2°F and steady humidity that fine wine actually demands. That's exactly what we deliver.

What We Build
Every Cellar,
Every Style
From intimate under-stair nooks to sweeping commercial installations for world-class venues, we bring the same obsessive attention to every project.
01

Custom Wine Racks
Your racking decides how the room reads. Our team builds custom wine racks in wood, metal, and cable systems — sized to your bottle count, finished to match your interiors, and configured for the way you actually use the cellar. Cork-forward, label-forward, magnums, large-format, mixed storage. We design around all of it.
Flip to View ->Highlights:
- Five wood species available — alder, mahogany, redwood, walnut, and pine — each with different grain, finish, and aging character
- Metal racking options, including stainless steel, powder-coated steel, and label-forward peg systems
- Cable-mounted and floating displays for modern glass cellars and wine walls
- Layouts engineered for irregular spaces — sloped ceilings, under-stairs nooks, and structural pillars
02
+
Cooling Systems
The cooling system is the one part of a wine cellar you can’t fake. Get it wrong, and nothing else matters. Our cooling specialists run a full heat-load calculation on every project — space size, insulation, door type, ambient temperature, bottle count — then size and install a system built to hold 55°F and 60–70% humidity year-round.
Flip to View ->Highlights
- Self-contained, ducted through-wall, ceiling-mounted, and split-system cooling — matched to your space and noise tolerance
- Heat-load calculations that prevent the most common cooling failures: undersizing and short-cycling
- Smart-home integration available, including Crestron, Nest, and Honeywell compatibility
- Install, commissioning, and ongoing service handled by the same team
03
+
Wine Cellar Doors
A wine cellar door does two jobs at once. It seals the room from temperature and humidity loss, and it sets the visual tone for everything inside. We build wine cellar doors in four styles — wooden, metal, framed glass, and frameless glass — each engineered with proper insulation, weather stripping, and hardware to hold your climate.
Flip to View ->Highlights
- Wooden doors in alder, mahogany, walnut, and other species, with custom finishes and arched or panel detailing
- Metal doors offering clean, modern lines with precision-engineered framing
- Framed glass doors built with dual-pane insulating glass for visibility plus thermal performance
- Frameless glass doors for a minimalist look that turns the cellar itself into the focal point
04
+
Wine Cellar Lighting
Lighting is what makes a wine collection feel like a collection. Done right, it shows off labels, highlights the racking material, and gives the room atmosphere without warming a single bottle. We design layered lighting plans using cool-running LED systems built specifically for wine cellars — no heat transfer, no UV damage, no compromise.
Flip to View ->Highlights
- Horizontal LED light panels and acrylic backlights for label-forward displays
- Integrated rack lighting that highlights individual bottles and shelves
- RGB and tunable-white systems for modern cellars with adjustable mood settings
- Cool-running LEDs only — no halogen, no incandescent, no heat load on the cooling system
05
+
Wine Cellar Flooring
Cellar flooring works harder than people realize. It has to handle constant humidity, occasional spills, and the visual weight of everything else in the room — without warping, staining, or fighting the design. We install flooring that’s been tested in wine cellar conditions: stone, tile, reclaimed wood, cork, and engineered options that hold up long-term.
Flip to View ->Highlights
- Natural stone, porcelain, and tile floors built for high-humidity environments
- Reclaimed and engineered wood options finished to resist moisture
- Cork flooring for warmth underfoot and natural humidity buffering
- Material recommendations matched to your racking, door, and overall design palette

+
Renovations & Upgrades
Older wine cellars often need more than a refresh. Cooling units fail, racking dates the room, doors leak, and lighting yellows. Our renovation team rebuilds existing cellars without tearing the whole thing down — swapping out underperforming components, modernizing the look, and bringing the climate control up to current standards. Most upgrades happen in days, not weeks.
Flip to View ->Highlights
- Cooling system replacements with proper heat-load recalculation for your current setup
- Racking refits — swap dated wood for metal, add label-forward storage, or expand capacity
- Door and glass upgrades to fix sealing issues and refresh the room’s look
- Lighting overhauls, replacing yellowing or heat-emitting fixtures with modern LED systems
07
+
Maintenance & Repair
Wine cellars need looking after — not constantly, but consistently. A failing cooling system or a slipping seal can damage a collection in weeks. Our maintenance team handles scheduled checkups, emergency repairs, and full diagnostic services for cellars we’ve built and ones we haven’t. Catch the small problems early, before they reach your bottles.
Flip to View ->Highlights
- Annual maintenance covering cooling system performance, humidity calibration, and seal checks
- Emergency repair service for cooling failures, door problems, and humidity issues
- Mold prevention, vapor barrier inspection, and condensation troubleshooting
- Service available for cellars we built and cellars built by other companies
Every Cellar, Every Style
Most wine collectors face similar problems: inadequate storage, temperature swings from 40°F to 90°F, humidity that fluctuates wildly, shelving that wobbles, and wine aging too fast or bottles spoiling before you ever open them.
Here's the math: A bottle stored at room temperature ages up to 4 times faster than one stored at 55°F — and not in a good way. A 2010 Bordeaux meant for 20 years of aging becomes undrinkable in 5-7. Cork is the only barrier between your wine and the air, and humidity is what keeps it alive. Drop below 50% and the cork begins to shrivel — slowly, invisibly — until oxygen finds its way in and the wine starts to spoil. Push above 75%, and the problem reverses: mold takes hold, labels decay, and the cork itself begins to break down. That window in between — 60% to 70%, held within a few points — is where fine wine actually survives. Standard home storage solutions weren't built to hit it. Closets drift, basements swing with the seasons, and most wine fridges can't hold the ±2°F and 65% humidity that aging wine demands. They get close. Close isn't enough.
For over 20 years, the Parker family has solved this for homeowners and businesses across North America — transforming basements, closets, under-stair spaces, and dedicated rooms into climate-controlled environments where your collection actually thrives. Not a wine fridge. Not a rack in your garage. A real cellar, engineered to protect what you've spent years collecting.

In Newport Beach, an under-stairs conversion added 15% to the home's appraised value. In Dana Point, a Spanish cedar humidor brought two collections — 486 bottles and 200+ cigars — into a single, purpose-built space.
We operate directly in Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona. Our affiliate network extends to Miami, Austin, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, Dallas, and Vancouver. One standard of quality, regardless of the zip code.

Why Cachet Over the Alternatives
We handle everything under one roof — design, insulation, racking, climate engineering, doors, lighting, flooring, installation, and aftercare. You're not coordinating five vendors and hoping it comes together. You're working with one team that's accountable for the entire result.
Climate engineering, not just cooling installation
We calculate heat load for your specific space, design ducting to eliminate hot spots, integrate humidity control, and commission every system to hold 55°F±2° and 60-70% relative humidity. We utilize professional-grade cooling systems matched to your square footage, insulation, and local climate conditions. An undersized system fails during heat waves, whereas an oversized one cycles inefficiently. We get the sizing right.
Materials that last decades
We specify premium wood — Spanish cedar, mahogany, knotty alder — from sustainably managed sources. Metal components are brushed stainless steel or powder-coated steel. Every joint is precise. Every joint is precise, and every finish is clean. As this isn't furniture-grade, it's heirloom-grade.
Smart home integration available
For collectors who've invested in connected home ecosystems, your cellar becomes part of that experience — temperature monitoring from your phone, humidity alerts, RGB lighting control, seasonal programming.
National reach, local standards
A cellar built in Orange County meets the same Cachet specifications as one built in Miami or Austin. Our affiliate network maintains our quality standards everywhere.
Your Collection Is Worth Getting This Right
Most of our clients come to us after realizing their current setup isn't protecting their wine, which is stored improperly and loses value and flavor every day. The longer you wait, the more you risk.
A custom Cachet cellar does three things: it protects your wine at precise conditions, it adds real value to your home, and it gives you a space worth showing off. Our clients regularly tell us their cellar is the room guests ask about first.
If you're collecting seriously — or just starting to — a conversation with us costs nothing and takes 30 minutes. We'll assess your space, discuss what's realistic, and give you a clear picture of what a proper cellar looks like for your collection.

I contacted Custom Wine Cellar to build a wine cellar under my staircase. They designed a beautiful, custom space for my wine which looks like a piece of art. The craftsmanship was first class, and it is quiet and works efficiently. The guys were great to work with. I highly recommend them.

Cristobal is awesome. Our wine refrigerator was not working correctly and We had another company come out and said that we needed to replace the entire unit, which would have been about 10k! We called Cristobal out and he cleaned the drain lines and replaced a minor part for $500. Experience matters! Regular refrigerator repair people don’t know how to fix wine refrigerators! Not to mention he came out on a Sunday! Now that’s service! We will definitely make sure to have a service plan with Cristobal!
