Another Stunning Home Wine Cellar Project Completed
Coto de Caza Orange County Custom Falcon Ridge Project
Coto de Caza an exclusive residential development in Orange County California is a stunning location to live. Even better it’s a great place to build a wine cellar in your home!
Lower down this page check out some of the location images we took when we visited one of our wine cellar builder projects. This custom job is an interesting project located underneath the stairway. Although the project is now completed we took some on-site video footage so we could showcase the Napa Valley Oak Barrel wine cellar flooring.
We will also be featuring and showing the wine cellar cooling system in detail and the special feature lighting. By watching the videos you will be able to see the preparation of the special ductless split refrigeration system before it is hidden by a purpose make louvered grill covering made from the same wood as the custom wine racks.
Custom Reclaimed Oak Barrel Wine Cellar Flooring – Coto De Caza Falcon Ridge Project in Orange County California
What is Napa Valley Oak Barrel Flooring for Wine Cellars?
The wine barrel flooring used in this project is a Cooperage Series. Perfect for custom wine cellars that strive for a unique look.
“Cooperage Series”, refers to the top of the barrel where the wine makes and the wineries brand the oak casks for identification purposes.
You will notice the subtle color variations in the wood (aged oak) as well as the brands.
This style of flooring creates a statement in a wine cellar design that looks very unusual and impressive.

Wine Cellar Refrigeration Installation Done Right – Feature Story & Video
The wine cellar cooling system installed on this project was a split system with a condenser installed outside the home. Click here to see a specific video Wine Cellar Refrigeration Installation Coto de Caza and learn more about how we do this to make sure noise is reduced and space in the wine room is maximized. There are many options and things to take into account when creating a room intended to maintain a different environment to the rest of a home.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hey, Jerry. So where are we today? Hi.
Oak Barrel flooring and refiration system installed – waiting for the wine racks
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Thanks, Tim. Uh, we are in Orange County, Southern California, a community called Coto de Caza.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You’ve done quite a few projects…
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Quite a few projects. This is a huge wine community. Uh, it, it’s a, we at the moment, we have three projects within a half a mile of each other. Wow. So we’re actually gonna take you on a short video tour today of a project. Uh, it’s a, it’s a wine cellar located underneath the stairway, and although not totally completed, we have installed the, uh, and prepared, prepared the walls. We’ve painted them. We have the refrigeration equipment in.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Cool. So we’re gonna, we’re gonna get to see the early prep stage on this one.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Absolutely. Absolutely. But we’ve just, uh, the reason we’re here to actually today is we want to take a look at the Napa Valley Oak Barrel flooring that we just recently installed. So cool. We can take a look at that today. Let’s
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Take a look.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Okay. So let’s take a look at the wine cellar. This is, uh, not actually the door that will be installed. We, as I mentioned earlier, we’re not a hundred percent complete with the project. We will have a, uh, a full glass panel door here, so you’ll have a, a great visual into the wine room. As you can see, the wine racks are not quite installed as well. We have prepped the walls. We’ve got the beautiful light fixture that we’ve installed that the client picked up and we installed for him. The refrigeration, although mechanical looking in nature, will be concealed by a louver grill cover of the, of the same wood that the wine racks are made of. But the reason, one of the biggest reasons we’re here today is to take a look at this beautiful Napa Valley Oak Barrel Flooring. This is a, a cooperage series, and there’s several parts of the barrel. The cooperage refers to the top of the barrel where the winemakers and the wineries actually brand the oak casks to identify for identification purposes. So you’ve got some subtle color variations in the wood because it’s of the aged oak. It really makes a statement to a wine cellar. Much very unusual. Very, very, very unique.
As I have mentioned earlier, we utilized a split wine cellar refrigeration system to cool the wine cellar. So let us look at the exterior or the remote condenser right now.
How California Experts Installed the Line Set and Condenser
Remote Condenser – Split Wine Cellar Refrigeration System
Getting the line set and the condensate drain line out of the wine room to the remote condenser of the wine cellar refrigeration system, it’s a little bit of an obstacle. We actually have to trench out this porch area because the line set actually came out of the wall here to the original slate here and this stone.
Remote Condenser – Split Wine Cellar Refrigeration System
We trenched underground the line set that runs over here to the condenser. Our guys did a great job in placing the stone back in its original condition. So, we are going to take a look at the remote condenser just to the left here. It’s 25 to 30 feet away from the original wine cellar itself. We trenched this, as I’ve mentioned, and we buried the line set and insulated it well.
This is the actual remote condenser of the split wine cellar refrigeration system. At this time, we are waiting for it to anodize, and we will paint it.
Anodizing the Wine Cellar Refrigeration Unit Remote Condenser: a Vital Step in this Wine Cellar Refrigeration Installation
So what does that mean to wait for it to anodize? Well, the metal right now is very shiny and very smooth. So if we actually put paint on it, the paint will flake off and actually peel away. So, we are going to give it about a month for it to anodize and kind of get roughed up and weather, and then paint it very lightly to match the house.
The client will also put some landscape here in front of this wall. So it’s very small, with the housing. It’s 18 inches long and 12 inches tall, so this wine cellar refrigeration system is very, very small.

And it’s a beautiful house we’ve got here, an amazing scene. There’s the view, a beautiful little valley here in Coto de Caza. Just take a look at the valley there. I could cope with looking out of my bedroom in the morning and seeing a view like that!
