Heritage and expertise

Founded in 1947 in Putney, south London, Sorrells has a storied history rooted in a deep passion for wine and a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. Over the years, we have grown significantly, continuously innovating and establishing a strong reputation in the field of wine storage. Today, we operate from a state-of-the-art 40,000 sqft factory equipped with advanced machinery and technology, allowing us to create precision-engineered products that are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally superior. Our heritage and expertise set us apart in the bespoke wine storage industry allowing us to cater to understairs wine rack options as well as bespoke cellar and wine walls.

Our >40,000 sqft factory in Essex and additional offices in Cambridgeshire and the north of the UK employ over 50 skilled professionals. This includes designers, metal fabricators, joinery experts, fitting teams, and air conditioning specialists, all working together to create custom wine cellars. This in-house approach ensures that each cellar is tailored to our clients’ specific needs and spaces. By keeping our services in-house, departments can work closely to design and install projects specifically for unique spaces, such as the specific dimensions of an understairs wine wall.

Personalised design process for bespoke wine cellars

At Sorrells Custom Cellars, we believe that every wine storage solution should be as unique as the client and their collection. Our personalised design process begins with a thorough understanding of your specific wine storage needs, the nature of your collection, and your personal style. We collaborate closely with you to develop a wine cellar under stairs that suits your needs and is tailored for long-term use and benefit. From the initial design concept to the final installation, the entire process takes place under one roof at our headquarters, ensuring seamless communication and strict quality control. Our team is dedicated to creating bespoke wine storage solutions that exceed your expectations.

Our manufacturing process begins with carefully selected trunks of wood, which are cut, carved, and treated to form the basis of each wine cellar. From this raw material, our craftsmen shape the wood into the unique components that will define the cellar’s structure and aesthetic. The process takes place entirely under one roof, ensuring quality control and seamless integration of each element. This includes the finishing touches in our advanced spray booth, which provides a high-quality finish that enhances the beauty and durability of the wood. Additionally, we have recently added a metal fabrication facility, allowing us to incorporate metal features such as doors and framework, further customising our cellars to meet the specific desires of our clients.

Temperature control is a critical aspect of wine storage that many cannot install due to the restrictions of the location under a staircase. However, thanks to our bespoke temperature control units, we are able to seamlessly integrate this essential feature into our under-the-stairs projects, ensuring your wine collection is preserved in optimal conditions.
