If I were to go on a world tour to see great winery architecture, or modern vinyard architecture, where would i go, and what architects work would i see?
i can't find an image online, so i guess i'll have to find it and scan it, but the tasting room of the paul masson champagne winery in saratoga, california was wonderfully banal and modern. so much so that it appears in taschen's Boring Postcards.
Haven't been there in 20 years (holy crap...) so I don't know if some idiot got their hands on it and made it 'Country French'....
Right up my alley; wine, architecture, and good food!!
Some of the good ones have been mentioned above but speaking about wine and architecture I have a special place for a vineyard in Calistoga named Clos Pagase designed by Michael Graves. In my humble opinion one of graves’ finest works; a true embrace between the creation of art and wine.
This place is full of mythology; the aging caves and the cave theater are phenomenal spaces. The house at the top of the knoll has the most breath taking views of the valley.
The other winery that I was extremely impressed with was Viña las Niñas in Santa /Cruz Chile Designed by one of my favorite Latin America architect Mathias Klotz, a clean translucent composition of wood stone and glass, the setting is also incredible-
Just a side note, last time I was at Dominus Winary one of the wine makers told me that the caged rock walls were full of snakes bathing in the sun, Nice natural habitat.
…way to think of it Jacques & Pierre!

Dominus Winery, Napa Valley, CA
Herzog & DeMeuron
calatrava - la rioja bodegas ysios
this is my favorite part:
Wow, awesome idea for a thread.
^that's one of the only Calatrava bldgs that I care for.
yeah, that is nice.
my fav winery inspired cork lined nifty cutty-outy building by steven holl.
in loisium.
yea, those are all good ones....has anyone ever been to chappellet in Napa Valley?? I think its an old Aurther Erickson Building
any other good examples out there?
Calatrava's winery is a homage (or plagiarism) to GaudÃ's school at the Sagrada Familia...
vs.
come to think of it, most works by Calatrava are homages to Gaudà or to those funny dinosaur' skeletons at the musuems..
