Prestige Cellaris™
Your cellar, proven before it’s built.
Cellaris is the cellar intelligence software we built in-house. It models your cellar in 3D and runs a full 360° scan for critical failures: anything that would reduce the cooling unit's performance, glass and frames that would sweat, door failures, unreachable racks and dead-air corners. Problems are found on screen, not after the install. Built on the lessons of more than 350 wine cellars we have designed, it is how we know a Prestige cellar will work before we build it, and why we can back it with a Lifetime Warranty.
Built on 350+ real wine cellar designs.
Cellaris carries the lessons of more than 350 wine cellars we have designed: what worked, what had to change and why. Every one of those lessons became something Cellaris checks for. That experience is paired with the engineering math for heat load, dew point, airflow and surface temperature, so every finding is grounded in physics and measured against real numbers, not rules of thumb.
A wine cellar fails at the edges.
Most cellars are sized with a heat load calculator. It returns one number, the cooling capacity the room needs, and the rest is left to experience and hope. But cellars rarely fail on that number. They fail at the edges: a steel frame that sweats onto the floor, a corner the air never reaches, a unit so oversized it short-cycles and strips the humidity, a door that hits a rack.
Those problems usually show up months after the install, when they are expensive to fix. Cellaris finds them while the cellar is still a design, when fixing them costs a revision.
A 360° scan for critical failures, on every design.
Cellaris evaluates every aspect of the cellar, not just the refrigeration. Each of these seven checks looks for a different critical failure, and every one has to pass before production.

Model, simulate, revise, verify.
Cellaris runs after we engineer the cellar (heat load, architectural and MEP plans) and before anything is ordered. It is a gate in our process, not a sales tool.
Verified first. Guaranteed for life.
A custom cellar protects a collection that can take decades to build. We do not ask you to trust that it will work. Every design is verified in Cellaris, every dimension is checked on site, and everything we build is covered by our Lifetime Warranty for the rated life of each material.
The cooling unit and its installation are covered separately, by the manufacturer's warranty and our installation warranty.
About Prestige Cellaris™
What is Prestige Cellaris™?
Prestige Cellaris is the cellar intelligence software we built in-house. It models a wine cellar in 3D and runs a 360° scan for critical failures across the cooling, airflow, glass, doors and racking before anything is produced.
Is it just a heat load calculator?
No. A heat load calculator gives you one number: how many BTUs of cooling a room needs. Cellaris starts there, then checks how the whole room will behave with that cooling: how the unit cycles, where the air goes, whether any glass or frame will sweat, and whether every door and rack fits.
Does every Prestige cellar go through Cellaris?
Yes. Every cellar we design is run through Cellaris after it is engineered and before it is released for production. If a check fails, we revise the design and run it again until every check passes.
How does Cellaris relate to your Lifetime Warranty?
Our Lifetime Warranty covers everything we build for the rated life of each material, except the cooling unit and its installation, which carry their own terms. Verifying every design before it is built is how we can stand behind that warranty with confidence.
Can Cellaris check a cellar someone else designed or built?
Not at this time. Cellaris is used on the cellars Prestige designs and builds, from the first design through production, so every cellar we deliver has passed every check.
