Pardon the pun, but this is probably one the most intoxicating design and architectural inspiration you will ever come across! A wine cellar that has ben built inside an old and abandoned tunnel in a limestone hill in Texas does sound like a proposition that has jumped out of a Bond movie. Yet, this marvelous modern delight was meticulously built by Clayton Korte and the private wine cave is undoubtedly one of the best wine cellar ideas that we have ever come across for a long time.
Carved into a solid limestone hillside, the entry to tis cellar is probably impossible to find if not for the illuminated and curated landscape leading to it. Step inside and you will be wowed by the polished Douglas fir and white oak clad walls, stone backdrops, concrete walls and a generous layer of ambient lighting. You will quickly forget that you have stepped into a hillside tunnel and the amazing collection of wine in here only adds to the ecstatic setting.
Apart from the vast wine cellar that can store over 4000 bottles with ease, you can also find a relaxing bar, sitting area, tasting lounge and a restroom that embraces the same theme and material palette as rest of the wine cave. Unique and gorgeous, the natural elements of the tunnel are carefully intertwined with polished, modern design to offer the very best of both worlds! [Photography: Casey Dunn]
The exterior opening of the cave is capped with a board-formed concrete portal, meant to weather naturally, molded to the irregular surfaces of the limestone and retaining the mouth of the earth cut.
