Steel framing underway at Presqu'ile Winery’s Hospitality building

Presqu'ile's new Hospitality building is swiftly taking form as steel framing progresses at the construction site. Located in the central California wine country, this 13,000 s.f. building is thoughtfully sited mid-slope on a coastal vineyard property. Gently pitched roof forms emphasize the horizontal aspect of the design and, from within, frame views of rolling hills and distant mountain peaks.

Taylor Lombardo Architects are currently working on a new 33,000 s.f. winery in Napa, CA. The new facility, Caravan Serai Winery, was named after the Caravanserai’s of the historic Silk Road of Eurasia, which were roadside inns where travelers could rest and recover from the day’s journey.

Located at the gateway to the Napa Valley along St. Helena Highway, the new contemporary winery will include a large hospitality center with a grand central courtyard, as well as a state of the art winery production building. Completion is scheduled for the fall of 2013.
