Santa Ana, CA

Restaurant - Kit Wine Storage Solution

Project Goal: The project designers were looking to make a dramatic impression with scale on this project. They had already designed and built the spectacular private dining room with the arched brick ceiling and up lighting. A grand opening was only weeks away and the wine display racks needed to be part of that. The product needed to be designed and shipped within two weeks!

Vigilant Design Solution: The dramatic ceiling and long narrow space presented some design issues and with the tight time frame, it was clear that an off the shelf kit solution must be found and modified for this project. The Vigilant Design Team worked with the architect and came up with a raised platform solution that would give the kit racks the desired height for the pre-built soffit and also get the bottles off the ground for easy access. The repeating individual wine display racks matched the scale of the wine room.

Total Capacity: 4,400 bottles

Wine Cellar Features

• Vigilant 10 column wine display racks built on custom platforms
• 10 column single deep tables with stemware commercial wine racks
• Custom soffit trim moldings

Restaurant - Custom Wine Storage Solution

Project Goal: This fine dining fusion steakhouse features a private dining room off the front entrance and is visible from all parts of the main dining area. The project designers were looking for a spectacular but rustic wine cellar design that would house 1,500 bottles. They space also featured elliptical curved walls and stonework.

Vigilant Design Solution: The Vigilant Design Team recognized immediately that curved wine racking was the only appropriate solution for this project. Custom laminations would need to be made from templates of the room walls and a dark rich stain was appropriate for the room. Both individual and bulk wine storage was important for managing the wine collection.

Total Capacity: 1,700 bottles

Restaurant - Custom Wine Cube Display

Project Goal: This project was a great challenge to Vigilant's design team. The restaurant wanted a unique way to store bottles in the restaurant, but not overwhelm its patrons with wine racks. The wine cubes became the best solution to fit in the space and the theme of the establishment.

Vigilant Design Solution: The Vigilant Design Team created a unique look that would work in the chosen space. The cubes fit well and added to the ambiance of the room rather than taking from it. The assembly allowed the restaurant to maximize the storage in the space and blend the display into the wall and lighting already in place.

Total Capacity: 1,000 bottles

Jackson, NH

Restaurant - Custom Wine Storage Solution

Project Goal: Fine wine is a large part of the Inn’s identity and the owners emphasize their wine selection knowledge in their marketing efforts. The wine display racks needed to stand up to that expectation level. They had already designated a wine room space with an adjacent private dining room and wanted a smooth transition from one room to the other.

Vigilant Design Solution: It was immediately obvious that the commercial wine cellar design solution should be dramatic and highly visible to the guests. The Design team focused on a cellar-like feel and incorporated a Vigilant dark mahogany entry door and sidelights that opened up into the private dining area. A large bottle cascade runs from the back wall toward the wine cellar entrance.

Total Capacity: 3,050 bottles

Wine Cellar Features

• Full-height bottle cascade
• Diamond and rectangular bins
• True arch top and tasting table
