Jacuzzi Family Vineyards Winery
Carneros District - Sonoma, California

The Jacuzzi Family Vineyards Winery will house winemaking and olive oil production facilities. An existing wine label available through the neighboring Cline Cellars winery, Jacuzzi specializes in ultra-premium, Italian-styled wines that honor the Jacuzzi heritage of invention and winemaking. That theme is carried forward in a design that recalls the vernacular architecture of the Jacuzzi family’s former home in Udine, Italy, and borrows heavily from precedents established by medieval monasteries.

Achieving an immediate sense of permanence and history, the new winery is a complex of smaller stone and stucco-clad structures organized around a central courtyard. Traditional architectural details and natural materials add to the visitor’s sense that the buildings pre-date their actual construction. The manipulation of the massing of the overall structure, the collision of varying roof forms, and the subtle changing of architectural detailing add to the perception that the building complex was created by different hands over a long period of time.

The winery’s Courtyard and basilica-like Barrel Room pull double-duty as venues for private special events. The vertical thrust of the Stair Tower contrasts the horizontality of the surrounding vineyards and provides an overlook of wetlands draining toward the San Pablo Bay and views to distant mountain ranges.
