This is when Cellar Masters owner Scott Berry receives those calls. The homeowner or business owner contacts him with an idea, and Scott, along with his team, collaborates to find the ideal climate-controlled solution. Having Design and Build services in-house at Cellar Masters helps ensure project quality and keeps the project on schedule. During the initial walk-through at the home or business, you might find it’s an existing room, a closet, or a basement in a historic home, a country club, or a restaurant in Beverly Hills. Sometimes, it’s right within the homeowner’s living space, like a wine wall in the dining room, kitchen, family room, or den. Cellar Masters calls these Wine Features, where you can conveniently view and enjoy your collection every day.

Scott Berry says, “I just love the challenge of creating something amazing and really enjoy the design process with our clients, seeing how excited they get when they realize they have enough space to create one.”

Cellar Masters was founded in 1990 with the goal of sitting down with clients, listening to their needs, and creating a climate-controlled wine storage experience they can enjoy every day. As passionate wine collectors, winemakers, and restaurateurs, our design-build team uses its knowledge and experience to craft wine features tailored to each client’s specific needs.

Cellar Masters recently finished a wine feature in a home in North Ranch, designed to create an impressive cellar where the homeowner can enjoy viewing their collection from the home bar on one side of the wall and choosing their favorite wine from the kitchen on the other. The oil-rubbed bronze steel frames included locking, dual-pane glass, and adjoining doors that swing open, revealing their 587-bottle mahogany-capacity cellar (326 750ml bottles, 21 1.5L bottles, and 20 case storage) with triple-deep side-label display racking and LED lighting. “It turned out beautiful, and the homeowner was so pleased with the results,” says Scott Berry.

“One of the wine cellar projects I always find to be very creative and fun to design is when we install one under the stairs, whether large or small. It’s about how many bottles we can fit, how to access it, and how to keep it climate-controlled,” says Scott Berry. “Sometimes this is the only space within the home that is available.”
