Designed for
Los Angeles
Wine cellar designs shaped by the architecture, climate and way of life here.
How It Works Here
Los Angeles looks mild and is still too warm for wine. Downtown’s July high averages about 82°F, Burbank and Pasadena run hotter, and fall Santa Ana winds bring heat with very dry air. So every design starts with closed-cell spray foam, a continuous vapor barrier and dedicated cooling, never the house AC.
The houses and the ground shape the rest. On a hillside lot a cellar can sit in the slope, and the city’s hillside rules can leave a mostly below-grade basement out of the floor-area count. Tall racking and glass need an anchoring plan, and Title 24 may apply. A Hancock Park revival house calls for different finishes than a mid-century house in the hills. For families rebuilding after the January 2025 Palisades Fire, a cellar is easiest to plan with the new house.
Every Los Angeles project runs through the Prestige Virtual Design Studio. We meet by video, design the cellar, and supply the materials or a Limited Edition Wine Cellar Kit. Your licensed contractor builds it. Turnkey service is coming soon.

Create your Masterpiece
Every bottle has a history. Every design should too. Let’s design a space that reflects who you are: timeless, personal and unforgettable.
The City
From Bel Air, Beverly Hillsand Brentwoodto Pacific Palisades, Malibuand the 1920s streets of Hancock Park, Los Angeles houses run from Spanish Colonial Revival to glass-walled modern. Many are made for hosting, and a wine cellar fits that life well.
Prestige Wine Cellars designs these rooms from our award-winning design studio in Austin, with the same care we give every client at home. Hillside lots, earthquake planning and California’s energy code shape each design, and a California-licensed contractor builds it.
Client Stories
My experience working with Andrew and his team at Prestige Wine Cellars on our custom wine cellar in Austin was a real privilege. The initial consultation was incredibly in-depth, and Andrew’s expertise in temperature and humidity control gave me total confidence they could build a truly climate-controlled wine room that would protect my collection long-term. … The end result is a gorgeous modern glass wine cellar and luxury wine storage feature that I enjoy every time I see it.
Adam N
Texas project
I had a friend recommend Prestige Wine Cellars for my custom wine cellar in Westlake Hills. MAN was I impressed with Andrew and his team. Their level of experience and knowledge when it came to temperature and humidity control for the wine cellar refrigeration was exactly what I needed to feel comfortable about using them. The design process was super smooth and Andrew absolutely nailed it the first time. … We are thrilled with the final result.

Texas project
Andrew was wonderful to work with. He listened to what our vision was, took into account all the wood, hardware and general surroundings in our home to make the rendering fit into our space. I was very pleased working with him.

Under-Stairs Wine Cellars
Design around the slope instead of fighting it. Put deep storage racking in the low back corner, where you can't stand, for bulk inventory. Put lit, label-forward display racking at eye level behind frameless glass doors. Then seal the envelope and add ducted cooling holding a steady 55°F, so it works as a real wine cellar.
Wine Cellar Design
A temperature-controlled wine wall holds a steady 55°F behind frameless glass in a warm living room without fogging. Four things make that work: insulated dual-pane glass (around R-3), an envelope sealed with closed-cell spray foam, refrigerated air ducted to wash the glass above the dew point, and a cooling unit sized to the real heat load.
Cost & Value
Yes. In the ultra-high-end market, a pool and a chef’s kitchen are expected — they’re standard. A floor-to-ceiling wine wall in the dining room is the emotional trigger that makes a buyer fall in love and overpay, elevating a luxury home from nice to bespoke and helping it stand apart on a competitive market.
How Wine Cellars Work
Because fiberglass is open and lets warm, humid air into the wall, where it cools below its dew point and condenses — soaking the insulation and growing mold. Closed-cell spray foam does two jobs in one layer: it insulates at roughly R-6 to R-7 per inch and acts as a vapor barrier, so moisture never reaches the wall cavity.
Who We Design For
Los Angeles collectors range from longtime Westside families to people building new houses in the hills and along the coast. They tend to want:
A room that works for dinners at home as much as for storage
A design that respects the house, from Spanish Colonial Revival to mid-century modern
Racking and glass anchored with earthquakes in mind
Design reviews by video that fit a full calendar
Working Together
Your Architect, Interior Designer and Builder
A Los Angeles cellar comes out best when your architect, designer, engineer and builder join the conversation early. We’re glad to work with the team you’ve already chosen.
Your architectWe settle the cellar’s location, hillside conditions and Title 24 path while the plans can still change.
Your designerWe translate the look you want into glass, racking and lighting that still hold temperature.
Your builderWe hand over drawings, specifications and lead times, and your builder and engineer handle anchoring, permits and construction under their own California licenses.
The best time to call is before the walls are framed. For a renovation or a rebuild, send plans or a few photos and we’ll review them together by video.
