Yes. Both the Millesime™ and GrandCellar™ Collections are ideal for large wine collections. Their floor-to-ceiling designs and modular configurations maximize storage capacity while maintaining a streamlined appearance. These systems are perfect for both residential enthusiasts and commercial establishments with extensive inventories.

How does Millesime's wine cellar designs accommodate different bottle sizes?

Millesime's wine cellar systems are designed to securely hold various bottle sizes, including standard 750ml bottles, magnums, and half-bottles. The modular nature of the racks allows for customization, ensuring that your unique collection is displayed and stored appropriately.

What is the wine cellar installation process?

Millesime's wine cellar systems are designed for straightforward installation. We do not install directly, but our systems are shipped partially pre-assembled with clear documentation for easy installation by a contractor or experienced handyman. For more complex installations, our custom wine cellar specialists can recommend installation professionals to ensure a secure and lasting setup.

How much does a wine cellar cost?

The cost of custom wine cellars varies depending on size, materials, configuration, and level of customization. At Millesime, we create both residential and commercial wine storage displays—ranging from simple custom wine walls to expansive glass wine cellar environments. 

The final investment reflects the premium quality of our materials, the precision of our custom wine cellar design, and the craftsmanship that defines every Millesime system. Our team provides detailed quotes as part of our complimentary custom wine cellar services, so you have full transparency before your build begins.

How do you create a custom wine cellar?

Our wine cellar designers develop renderings tailored to your vision—whether you're planning a modern residential custom wine cellar or just a simple commercial display for a public venue. You can choose from a variety of materials, finishes, bottle orientations, and layouts. 

Once you have selected the final layout and materials, your custom wine storage system will be manufactured in a North American facility. From concept to delivery, we’re your design partner throughout the build.

Can I mix wood and metal in my wine cellar design?

Absolutely. In fact, mixing wood and metal is a hallmark of transitional wine cellar design, blending classic warmth with modern lines. Millesime’s metal racks, like the Floating Bottle, pair beautifully with the GrandCellar™ Collection’s wood options, including Sapele Mahogany and White Oak. This combination creates a balanced, sophisticated look that is ideal for a transitional home wine cellar. 

GrandMillesime displays provide another premium option, as they expertly unite the sleek architecture of Millesime’s metal framework with the timeless richness of handcrafted wood.

Can I customize my wine rack system?

Yes. Millesime provides extensive customization options. You can choose from different woods, metal finishes, and bottle depths to create a fully personalized display that aligns with your style and storage needs. Our team of cellar specialists offers complimentary design services to assist you throughout the process.

What materials do you offer on your custom wine racks?

You can personalize your wine cellar to match your unique style with our premium material options. Choose from anodized metal finishes in Silver, Black, or Gold, and a beautiful selection of wood species, including Walnut, Sapele Mahogany, and White Oak.

How do I start designing a custom wine cellar?

The wine cellar process starts when you fill out our online request form to schedule a complimentary 15-minute conversation with our design team. A Millesime sales representative will reach out to arrange a specific time for the meeting. 

Once we have discussed your design preferences and needs, we go to work refining the specs to align optimally with your goals. Our wine cellar builders and designers will guide you through suitable options. We strive to make the custom wine cellar design process clear, collaborative, and efficient from the start.

Does a wine cellar add value to a home?

Yes—custom wine cellars for homes are an elegant way to enhance both the usability and value of a residence, particularly in high-end properties. According to MarketWatch, a wine cellar can increase the value of a home by as much as 31%.

A well-integrated residential home custom wine cellar becomes a centerpiece that elevates the surrounding interior. Discerning buyers often view custom wine cabinets and similar installations as a mark of refinement and hospitality. When designed with premium materials and thoughtful layout, a cellar is a valued lifestyle feature. 

What is the custom wine cellar design process?

Our custom wine cellar services are anchored in precision and personalization. After your free consultation, you can expect to receive 3D renderings within 48 hours for your inspection. You have the option to change the specs according to your preferences, and the design isn’t finalized until we have your approval.

What are top custom wine cellar displays for a restaurant?

Commercial custom wine cellars in restaurants must combine aesthetics and access. Popular solutions include wine wall display cellars and glass wine cellar enclosures that serve as visual centerpieces. 

Our Floating Bottle and Showcase systems offer modular, scalable storage that impresses guests while streamlining service. For venues requiring bulk storage and premium presentation, our GrandMillesime vignettes blend metal and wood for transitional elegance that fits seamlessly into commercial wine storage displays. 

The “best” custom commercial wine cellars are those that conform to the personal preferences of the client as well as the specific characteristics of their collection.

Where can you add a home custom wine cellar?

Residential wine cellars can be added to nearly any part of the home. We've designed a wide range of custom wine cellars for homes—in basements, dining rooms, kitchens, stair alcoves, and even hallways. With modular systems and a wide range of materials, our wine cellar designers can accommodate unique layouts and architectural details. We tailor every build to match the flow and character of the home.

Do I need a cooling system for my wine cellar?

Yes—temperature and humidity stability are essential for wine preservation. While Millesime does not install cooling systems, our wine cellar designers will coordinate with your project team to ensure your space is appropriately prepared. We can help specify placement and volume needs for cooling based on room dimensions and bottle count. Proper climate control is key to maintaining the integrity of the collection. Feel free to explore available wine cooling systems.

How many bottles can a custom wine cellar hold?

The capacity of custom wine cellars depends on several factors—square footage, racking configuration, bottle sizes, and design elements such as visual presentation or concealed storage. At Millesime, our custom wine cellar builds are modular by design, making it easy to scale up or down without sacrificing elegance.

Our wine displays vary widely in their base storage capacities. For instance, the GrandCellar™ Chevron Cove holds up to 1,022 bottles, while the Modern Reserve stores 648, and the Alcove offers a compact solution for 196 bottles. On the metal racking side, the All-Star supports over 400 bottles, while the Streamline can handle more than 600, depending on height, width, and number of rows. 

If the options in our catalog do not align with your requirements, the Millesime team can create a custom cellar to hold as many bottles as needed.

How long does it take to build a custom wine cellar?

Timelines vary by project scope, but most custom wine cellar builds are completed and shipped within 4 to 12 weeks of design approval. No matter the parameters of your project, we work to meet your timeline without compromising design integrity.
