About Us

Temperature variations (desired constant 55 degrees)
can often result in 'cooked wine' and very expensive vinegar. 

Thanks to a solid background in architecture, construction and the wine industry, Kathleen Valentini, owner of Valentini's Custom Wine Cellars, is a woman who understands wine, cellar design and proper storage and all aspects from design through construction and installation.  Serious wine lovers are turning to her for experienced wine storage consulting and design of custom rooms or cellars with a climate-controlled environment.   We will specify electrical requirements, lighting, wall treatments and custom refrigeration systems. Surprisingly, "wine cellars" are not always built in a "cellar" but are often adjacent to a dining area with a glass door in order to admire the redwood racking designs and wine collection. Kathleen works within the client's budget by using various custom designs and wood choices and can accommodate from 1,000 to more than 25,000 bottles and has clients from coast to coast.  To check her many credentials, please review the "Press" page as well as go to Google.com and type in Valentini's Custom Wine Cellars and find over 25 pages!

This beautiful Tuscany style tasting room with cellar that holds over 2,000 bottles and shows all components one can select as part of their wine cellar design, tasting bar and wine lockers for 1,000 cases of wine stored in redwood lockers (see below),  Proper wine storage conditions should also include an alarm system to assure temperature stability.  This concept was entirely designed by Kathleen Valentini in 1997.
