Wineries are popular destinations for people to relax, unwind, and have a taste of great wine right from its source. Of course, creating this oasis of relaxation and fun is no easy task, but that responsibility falls to you, the winery owners.
So, what do you need to focus on for a new winery design project that your visitors will love? Here are 4 recommendations from Henderson Architect:
Mirroring the Wine-Making Process for the Layout
Wineries provide people with an experience they cannot get anywhere else, so it’s important to take the time to focus on the layout of your new winery design. The best approach is to consider the actual wine-making process, and slowly take visitors through this process with the help of the new layout.
This ensures a smooth experience and happy visitors that can even learn something in the process!
Building the Right Atmosphere
Making sure you have full control over the temperature where you make the wine is critical to a good product, but the same can be said about the winery itself when you consider the visitor experience.
As a result, insulation solutions should be captured right in the design stages of your new project, making sure your product sits in the perfect environment, and your visitors find an atmosphere that encourages them to come back.
Floors That Can Withstand high Traffic
The floors of your winery will have to endure a lot, from lots of visitors and workers constantly moving about to changes in temperatures or high levels of moisture. Not only that, but the floors in your winery should not be the perfect environment for bacteria to flourish!
These are very specific flooring requirements, and it’s generally a great idea to get this discussion out of the way as soon as you start designing your new winery.
Good Floor Drainage
Drainage is another critical part of the winery's design. Loot for solutions that can do a good job without creating a hazard on the floors. Remember, a lot of people will be walking through the winery, so you want to avoid slippage or large grates where people can drop their items.
