The Shafer Winery is situated in the Stag’s Leap area in Napa Valley California. The challenge was to create a VIP tasting room that still allowed guests to enjoy the magnificent scenery, including rolling hills and acres of vineyard while visiting the Shafer Vineyards for a tour and private tasting. The client also wanted to have a seamless transition between the indoor area and their large outdoor terrace overlooking Napa Valley.
Project: Shafer Winery in Napa Valley California
Client: Doug Shafer, President of Shafer Vineyards
Architect: Ron M. Nunn & Associates, St. Helena, California
Design Objectives:
- Create a large inviting entrance
- Invite the indoors in
- Enhance beautiful views
- Enjoy natural lighting
- Expand the space
- Use clean design lines
Solution: The architect chose to use NanaWall for two openings of the VIP tasting room. NanaWall is a flexible, reliable and practical solution. When closed during inclement weather, the glass panels allow natural sunlight into the room and capture the magical views over the vineyards and across the valley. The panels can easily be partially or fully opened to bring the outdoors in and create a large entrance to access the magnificent outdoor terrace. It connects the inside to the outside not only visually, but physically as well. Visitors at the Shafer Winery can taste wines in a room that overlooks the vineyard and Napa Valley, enjoying beautiful scenery, sunlight and during spring, summer and fall, the natural breezes from outdoors. The NanaWalls also extend the area of the VIP tasting room onto the terrace, expanding the space and imparting a sense of spaciousness to the room. The NanaWalls seamlessly integrate the indoor room with the outdoor area, opening up the Shafer Winery to the vistas.
“NanaWalls bring our beautiful view to life. On warm, sunny Napa Valley days we can open our glass walls and guests can enjoy their wine while drinking in the scents and sights of our surrounding vineyards.”— Doug Shafer.
