This facility was built in 1962 by a consortium of banks and insurance companies to serve as a record storage vault in the event of a nuclear war. In 1994 the vault and surrounding property was purchased from Connecticut Underground Vault, Inc, a disaster recovery and records management company. Our love of wine coupled with the shortage of quality commercial wine cellars in the United States led us to transform the "vault" into Horse Ridge Cellars.

Located on a beautiful 127 acre horse farm in rural Connecticut, the "vault" lies 15 feet below the ground and is approximately 90,000 cubic feet. From the moment one enters the facility through its Mosler Safe Company 12 ton, 19 inch steel vault door, a sense of security and dedication is quite evident. Horse Ridge Cellars offers wine storage capability to meet a variety of needs.

We provide customer designated shelving as well as custom storage boxes designed for any number/size bottles. For restaurants and importers, we have areas reserved for special storage arrangements. While your wine is kept in our facility it will be fully insured against theft and breakage.
