Set amongst the rolling hills of Silverton, Oregon, this modern rustic tasting room offers a serene and luxurious setting that any wine connoisseur would love. Our team designed and built this stunning clear-span structure in partnership with our sister company, DC Structures, working closely together to create a building as breathtaking as the 600-acre farm it sits on.
Crafted for Silverback Estate Winery, this 4,923 sq. ft. tasting room space features a central bar area with cozy indoor seating options, a warming kitchen with a cold room, and indoor and outdoor restrooms for optimal convenience. Outside, guests can also enjoy a wrap-around porch with beautiful heavy timber overhangs and a two-sided stone fireplace. We built this structure with sizeable steel trusses to create a clear-span indoor and outdoor space, delivering an expansive area with superior flexibility. With plenty of room for seating, relaxing, and sipping quality wines, this sophisticated tasting room offers the perfect environment for its intended use.
These beautiful heavy timber winery buildings outside Salem, Oregon were designed by DC Builders and completed in the fall of 2016. The main building is a straightforward wine production facility that measures 96′ long with a 60′ clear span supported by steel angle-iron trusses. With 18′ sidewalls, this facility has plenty of room for operating heavy equipment and leaves room for future construction inside the structure. Huge 14′ sliding barn doors also provide easy equipment access, while adding to the rustic appeal of its exterior. Just a few steps away, the tasting room is a simple but attractive 864 sq. ft. annex complete with ADA bathrooms, a prep kitchen suitable for catered events, and an intimate sitting area for wine tasting and relaxation. The exterior of both buildings is all cedar, with Western red cedar board and batten siding, tongue and groove siding, and trim showcasing the beauty and quality of our heavy timbers.
Originally crafted for the 2016 NW Natural Street of Dreams, this all-wood winery in West Linn, Oregon now serves as a stunning tasting room for Tumwater Vineyard. Spanning over 3,500 square feet, the Barrel House Winery offers ample space for wine tastings, private events, and gatherings with friends and family. Inside, striking details like handcrafted timber frame trusses, a two-sided stone fireplace, and modern glass garage doors create a warm yet contemporary ambiance. The exterior features Western red cedar siding, custom stonework, and a bespoke pergola that defines the outdoor sitting area. Learn more about this project at www.barrelhousepdx.com.
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.
