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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
