This striking wood winery in Benton City, Washington came with unique challenges due to the strict regulations of winery construction. Every detail—from the tasting room to the complex, multi-level HVAC system—was customized to meet industry standards and reflect the vision of renowned sommelier Chris Upchurch. The final design not only meets functional needs but also creates a space where Chris can fully express his craft. Cedar board and batten siding wraps the exterior, complemented by a 12′ x 40′ deck with galvanized railing for enjoying panoramic vineyard views. Inside, a platform lift connects the wine cellar to the ground floor for seamless barrel transport, while a stunning glass-enclosed tasting room anchors the winery’s distinctive, elevated aesthetic.
