Walk on wine cellar
A walk on wine cellar is a sleek and space-saving solution that blends functional wine storage with modern interior design. With a Vinorage wine cellar, your collection is stored beneath the floor, and the durable glass hatch is designed to be walked on – offering both elegance and everyday functionality.
The weight capacity of the walk-on glass door depends on the cellar size, but all models are built to handle standard residential use. This makes a walk-on wine cellar ideal for installation in kitchens, living rooms, or hallways, where it becomes a subtle design feature without taking up valuable space. In this guide, you’ll discover the key benefits, smart design options, and practical tips for planning and installing your walk-on wine cellar at home.

Whether you're renovating or starting from scratch, a walk-on wine cellar offers a luxurious yet space-efficient solution for modern wine storage.
What is the weight capacity of the walk on glass door?
All Vinorage walk-on wine cellars are fitted with durable, tempered glass lids specifically designed to be walked on. The weight capacity of the glass depends on the size of the wine cellar and the dimensions of the hatch.

Where can a walk-on wine cellar be installed?
Walk-on wine cellars from Vinorage offer unmatched flexibility in placement, making them suitable for both private homes and commercial environments. In modern homes, they are often integrated directly into the kitchen floor, dining area, or living room – allowing easy access to wine while doubling as a stylish centerpiece. Their discreet design also makes them a popular choice for hallways, under staircases, or open-plan spaces where traditional wine storage might feel intrusive.
For businesses, a walk-on cellar is a functional and eye-catching addition to wine bars, restaurants, and tasting rooms – combining storage with a premium presentation that impresses guests. Thanks to their flush-fitting glass lids and robust build quality, they are also suitable for conservatories, basements, and even outdoor structures like garden rooms or orangeries, as long as the environment offers stable conditions.
Whether you’re working with a small footprint or a spacious room, our walk-on cellars can be tailored to suit your layout, lifestyle, and storage needs – without compromising on aesthetics or functionality.
Installation tips and technical considerations
Installing a walk on wine cellar requires careful planning, especially when integrating it into existing flooring. It's important to assess subfloor structure, humidity levels, and insulation to ensure your wines are stored under ideal conditions year-round. Our Vinorage cellars are designed for flexibility and can be installed in both concrete and timber floors.
All our models come with detailed installation guides, and we’re happy to assist your architect, contractor, or designer with specific drawings and technical documentation. If you’re working with a custom floor type or an unusual space, we’ll help tailor the solution to fit – ensuring both structural safety and aesthetic integration.
Everyday use and maintenance
A walk on wine cellar is designed not only to be looked at – but used. The durable glass lid is easy to clean and built to withstand daily wear. The integrated lift system makes accessing your wine simple and quiet, while LED lighting ensures optimal visibility inside the cellar.
To maintain ideal wine storage conditions, we recommend periodic monitoring of temperature and humidity. Depending on placement and usage, a cooling unit or ventilation system may be recommended – especially for cellars installed in warmer rooms or sunlit spaces.
