These case studies have been provided to help you understand what’s involved in building a wine cellar.
MacPhee’s has been involved in thousands of wine projects over 20 years and has a team of specialists that can
help you with all aspects whether that be design, engineering advice, equipment requirements or construction.
The most common question we get asked is “how much does it cost to build a cellar?”
While there is no definitive answer, in our experience we’ve found that it costs between $30,000 and $70,000+ to build a climate controlled wine cellar. The cost is ultimately determined by the size of the space, construction material used and the racking style selected. Take a look at some of the case studies below to learn more.
