Wine Cellar Refrigeration & Cooling in Doral, Florida

What Doral changes

Doral is mostly recent construction, and that is a real advantage: the cooling can be designed in rather than retrofitted. All three of our Doral rooms are modern builds where we set the wall build-up, the vapour barrier and the equipment housing while the space was still open — which is both cheaper and better than sealing a room after the fact, and is worth raising with your builder early.

Doral pairs new-build family homes with a dense corporate corridor, and both bring wine storage problems worth solving — modern under-stair rooms in the residential developments, and display-led cellars where clients entertain. We have delivered three projects here, including two under-stair rooms that turned dead circulation space into the focal point of the house.

Common questions

What temperature and humidity should a wine cellar hold?

Around 55°F with roughly 70% relative humidity, held steady. Stability matters more than hitting an exact number — swings are what damage a collection.

Does Dragon Cellars supply the cooling equipment?

No. We design and build the cellar, and a refrigeration specialist supplies, installs and commissions the cooling system. We coordinate their work into the build and prepare the room for it — insulation, vapour barrier and the housing the equipment needs.

Can a cooling unit be added to an existing cellar?

Often yes, but the room has to be assessed first. If the insulation or vapour barrier is inadequate, a new unit will run constantly and still fail to hold conditions — which is a construction problem before it is an equipment one.

How noisy are wine cellar cooling systems?

It depends on the type. Split and ducted systems place the noisy components away from the room, which is usually the right choice when the cellar adjoins a living or dining space — and it is a decision that has to be made while the room is still being drawn.
