Have you ever wondered if it’s time to create a wine cellar in your home? How many bottles of wine do you have? How many cases? How many wine racks or refrigerators are currently storing your collection? Perhaps you have a growing wine collection you’d love to display in your home or business.

These are some of the questions Scott Berry, owner of Cellar Masters, hears every day from homeowners and wine collectors.

Getting Started with Cellar Masters

So, how do you get started? Reach out to Berry, and he will meet you at your home or business to help you choose the best wine feature for your needs.

“We love visiting homeowners, listening, designing and creating their custom wine cellars every step of the way,” says Berry. “We understand that tastes are unique for each project, so their wine cellar is personalized to suit their needs. You dream it, and Cellar Masters will create it!”

Cellar Masters also specializes in creating impressive wine features for restaurants. These installations showcase exceptional wine collections in glass-enclosed, climate-controlled environments, allowing diners to admire the collections as they enter or move through the restaurant.

“We recently created a 630-bottle wine feature for Old Oak Steakhouse in Thousand Oaks. It’s always nice to see our work in the wild,” says Berry.

Wine Storage Designed Around You

Cellar Masters offers a wide range of solutions for homes and businesses, including wine walls, under-stair installations, contemporary designs and traditional wine cellars. The company has been designing, building and serving cellars since 1990.

“Wine features can start with a small collection or larger,” says Berry. “Some wine walls are for display and at room temperature, and for temperature-controlled environments in your living room or dining room, we have been very creative in building them for our clients.”

The possibilities are almost endless. A wine feature can be designed to store cases, large format and individual bottles while providing convenient label views and dedicated space for wine keys, decanters and other accessories. Cellar Masters showcases examples of its work on its website, CellarMasters.com, and at its Newbury Park location, where clients can view select installations in person by appointment.

Finding Space in Unexpected Places

“You just never know where you can place your collection,” says Berry.

That creativity is at the heart of what Cellar Masters does. The company has assembled an experienced team to design, build and install custom wine cellars and wine storage solutions for homes and businesses.

Cellar Masters has built more than 2,500 custom wine cellars throughout the region and across California.

Whether your collection consists of a few special bottles or hundreds of cases, Cellar Masters can create a space that is both functional and beautiful, designed specifically around your collection, your home and your lifestyle.

Protect Your Wine Collection

For winemakers, collectors and restaurateurs who may not yet have the space—or who simply need additional storage—Cellar Masters offers a variety of climate-controlled storage options at its facility. Storage begins with an 18-case base locker, making it an ideal solution for growing collections while providing an opportunity to become part of the Cellar Masters wine community. Custom wine lockers and concierge services are also available, including assistance with receiving and managing wine club deliveries.

How did your wine collection get started? You began drinking wine with friends, attended wine tastings at wineries, then joined a wine club, and suddenly, you find yourself building a collection. You might start with a small wine rack, then a wine fridge, and eventually think, “I really need a wine cellar.”

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.”

Protect Your Wine Collection

Whether you’re a winemaker, collector, or restaurateur, storing your wine collection is always a concern. Keeping wines at the right temperature and ensuring easy access are essential. At Cellar Masters, they offer climate-controlled storage at their Newbury Park location, ranging from 12 to 250 cases per locker, including custom wine lockers and a concierge service to handle all your wine club deliveries.

Years ago, when you started collecting wine, the idea of having a wine cellar in your home began with finding a space where you could fit wine racks and keep it cool. Fast forward, and they are now what Cellar Masters calls wine features in your living space or business. This means you can not only enjoy your wine collection in your dining room, living room, or unique space, but also watch your collection grow. Okay, and maybe brag about it to friends or customers too!

Cellar Masters was founded in 1990 for that very reason—to sit down with clients, listen to their needs, and design a climate-controlled wine storage experience for them to enjoy every day.

“I have assembled an incredible experienced team at Cellar Masters to design, build, and install cellars and wine storage for your home or for your business,” says Cellar Masters Owner Scott Berry, who has installed more than 2,500 custom wine cellars throughout the region.

As avid wine collectors and restaurateurs have experienced with Cellar Masters, the team applies their knowledge and experience to create wine features tailored to each client’s specific needs.

“Call it our obsession…we love visiting a new home or business, listening, designing, and creating their custom wine cellars every step of the way,” says Scott. “We understand our client’s tastes are unique for each project, so their wine cellar is personalized to suit their needs. You dream it, and Cellar Masters will create it!”

Serving both residential and commercial clients, Cellar Masters’ team of design experts and installation professionals works in concert to build custom wine cellars of all shapes and sizes to protect your wine collection and enhance your home or business. From the elegant beauty of a traditional wine cellar to contemporary wine walls, Cellar Masters excels at customizing wine features to fit any space.

“I am always pleased when discussing a new cellar with a new client and see how excited they get when they realize they do have enough space to create one, whether in an unused space under a staircase, in an unused room or on a wall,” says Scott.

A recent project involved converting an unused basement space in a historic 1894 home in Santa Barbara. This climate-controlled wine cellar, crafted from alder with exposed concrete beams, walls, and floors, has become a home for the owners’ 740-bottle wine collection, featuring a central tasting table where guests can congregate to enjoy their wine. The locking, black anodized sliding doors, with their three glass panes, offer an amazing way to view the collection. “We loved how this wine feature turned out!” shares Scott.
