WINE STORAGE | INSURANCE | TRANSPORTATION | INVENTORY MANAGEMENT | BUY & SELL YOUR WINE | FEES

For less than a penny a day, customers of Horse Ridge Cellars have access to all of our wine services.

When evaluating Horse Ridge Cellars, it is important to consider all of your wine storage options. In addition to commercial space, wine lovers are limited to building a wine cellar or purchasing a wine refrigerator unit. The expense for building a customized wine cellar can range from $15,000 and up. At this rate a customer could store a case of wine in our facility for over 500 years.

The other alternative is purchasing a refrigerator size wine chest. These range from $1,100 for a 50-bottle unit to about $3,500 for a 500-bottle unit. At these rates, storage at Horse Ridge Cellars would equate to 20 years and 6 years respectively. Please keep in mind that in all of these home storage scenarios insurance, security, and auxiliary equipment are either nonexistent or below par. Not to mention the customer would be without the other services offered by Horse Ridge Cellars.

Boxes are stored on customer designed shelving. All wine is required to be placed in cases/packages before delivery to Horse Ridge Cellars and will be stored according to instructions provided by the customer.
