Walk-On Wine Cellar

Benefits of a Walk On Wine Cellar

A walk on wine cellar combines design and practicality, offering an elegant way to store wine below floor level. Here are some of the main advantages:

• Space-saving: Installed under the floor, it frees up wall and cabinet space while keeping your collection easily accessible.
• Durable and safe: The reinforced glass lid is designed to be walked on, ensuring both safety and functionality in high-traffic areas.
• Discreet design: Perfect for minimalist or open-plan interiors, the walk on cellar blends seamlessly into the room without disrupting its style.
• Ideal storage conditions: Installed underground or in naturally cooler spaces, it offers stable temperature and humidity for long-term wine preservation.
• Visual impact: The glass lid and integrated lighting turn your wine collection into a stunning focal point – without taking up extra space.

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 wine cellar?

A Vinorage walk-on wine cellar is equipped with durable, tempered glass lids that are specifically engineered to be walked on. The glass is designed to combine safety and aesthetics, featuring a built-in UV filter to protect your wine from harmful light exposure. Weight capacity depends on the size of the cellar and the dimensions of the hatch.

If you’re planning to install the wine cellar in a high-traffic area such as a kitchen, hallway, or commercial space, it’s essential to consider both the expected load and how the space will be used over time. Heavier use or special flooring may require additional support, and we’re here to help assess your specific situation and provide technical recommendations if needed.

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. See our full installation guide for technical details.

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. It also features a UV filter to protect your wine collection from harmful light exposure. 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.
