Wine cellar design
A cellar designed around the bottles you love.
Spencer & Lynn offers wine cellar consultations and design, from a converted closet to a dedicated cellar room. Ryan plans the racking, cooling and lighting with you, and the shop can help you fill it. Build options are discussed at your consultation.

What we design
Three kinds of cellar projects.
Every space is different. Most cellars start as one of these.
Closet and under stair conversions
A closet, pantry or the space under the stairs, planned as a temperature controlled cellar with racking from floor to ceiling.
Dedicated cellar rooms
A basement or spare room planned with insulation, cooling, racking, lighting and a glass door. Room to grow and to age wine for years.
Display walls and racking
Wall racking and display shelving for dining rooms, home bars and restaurants, for the bottles you open often and like to see.
How it works
From first call to first bottle.
Consultation
Ryan asks about the space, the wine you drink and the wine you save.
Design
A plan for the racking, cooling, lighting and door, shaped around your bottles.
Build options
We talk through who builds it and when.
Fill it
If you like, the shop puts together bottles to drink now and bottles to lay down.
