Winery Construction

Supporting the technical skill of winemaking, while offering guests a memorable experience

We understand that building a winery requires more than just general construction — it’s about creating a seamless blend of form and function, tradition and innovation. From crush pad to tasting room, we deliver integrated winery facilities that support the technical precision of winemaking while offering guests a memorable experience from the first pour.

With successful projects completed for Andis Wines, Helwig Winery, Rombauer Vineyards, New Clairvaux Vineyard, and others, our team brings deep experience in winery production facilities, hospitality spaces, and agricultural infrastructure across Northern California.

What Makes Winery Construction Unique?

A winery is part manufacturing plant, part retail destination, and part architectural showcase. That means developers and vintners need a contractor who understands:

  • The complexities of winemaking infrastructure — from drainage and slopes to glycol chilling systems, barrel storage, and tank pads
  • The sensitivities of working in agricultural or rural zones — including water, fire access, and permitting
  • The unique flow between production, hospitality, and event spaces
  • How to coordinate with wine consultants, equipment vendors, and hospitality designers
  • The importance of weather, harvest schedules, and phased construction that respects your seasonal operations

At Sunseri, we’ve built everything from production facilities and barrel cellars to iconic tasting rooms — always with attention to craftsmanship, code, and customer experience.
