When it comes to creating the perfect wine cellar, there are a lot of things you have to consider. You need to get the design and layout exactly as you want it — as well as determine things such as the type of lighting and air conditioning you want to include. I went ahead and started building my dream cellar, which I thought would be a fun blog for my Wine Fanatics readers. It’s now sitting in my driveway collecting dust since, in the end, it costs too much money to build your own winery (or wine cellar), but I thought that you might enjoy seeing more about the process.

Cost to build wine cellar

The cost of building a wine cellar varies greatly depending on the size and location of the cellar. The average cost per square foot to build a wine cellar is $1,147. This includes the price of materials and labor.

Costs for installing a wine cellar include excavation and foundation costs, as well as any electrical work needed. A professional may charge anywhere from $2,500 to $7,500 depending on how much work needs to be done.

There are many factors that affect the cost to build a wine cellar. The most important factor is the size of the room. Generally speaking, the larger your wine cellar, the higher your costs will be.

The next most important factor is how much work you want to do yourself. If you are willing to do all of the work yourself, then you can save up to 50% on your total cost. However, if you want someone else to do all of the work for you (including framing and installing electrical), then expect to pay more than $10 per square foot.

The other big cost factor is insulation. If you live in a cold climate area and want good insulation, expect to pay up to $1 per square foot for insulation alone!

You can expect to pay between $7-$10 per square foot if you have someone else install all of the wiring and framing for you. If you want to do all of this yourself, then be prepared to spend at least $8-$12 per square foot!

Cost Per Square Foot To Build A Wine Cellar

The average cost to build a wine cellar is $20,000 – $50,000. The exact cost will vary depending on the size of the room, complexity of design and location. The cost to install a wine cellar could range from $10,000 – $25,000 depending on whether you are installing it yourself or hiring a contractor.

The average cost per square foot for building a wine cellar depends on many factors including:

Size of Room – The larger the room, the more expensive it will be to build because there will be more materials used and more labor involved in construction. If you’re looking at building your own wine cellar, you may want to consider building it in an existing space such as a basement or garage so that you don’t have to pay extra for building materials or labor costs associated with construction.

Type of Foundation – If you want your wine cellar installed underground or built into the ground, then expect your costs to increase significantly because it will require digging into the soil and installing concrete footings before any work can even begin.
