- What temperature should a cellar door tasting room be?
For visitor comfort, 20°C to 22°C. Wine display areas should be cooler, ideally below 18°C. Zoned systems allow different temperatures in different areas of the same space.
- Can cellar door air conditioning be on the same service plan as our winery refrigeration?
Yes, and we recommend it. Bundling cellar door air conditioning with glycol chiller and barrel room maintenance into a single plan means one team manages all your climate control, one set of scheduled visits, and a complete picture of your site.
- Our cellar door gets very hot in summer despite having air conditioning. What is wrong?
Most common causes: undersized system, dirty filters or coils reducing performance, frequent door openings overwhelming the recovery capacity, or poor building insulation. We can assess the system, identify the bottleneck and recommend a fix.
- How noisy are modern cellar door systems?
Modern split systems and ducted units are significantly quieter than older models. Ceiling cassettes and ducted systems in particular operate at noise levels that are barely noticeable in a tasting room. We select units with low indoor noise ratings appropriate for hospitality environments.
