Starmont Winery
Napa, CA
CASUAL, OUTDOOR-FOCUSED WINE TASTING  To create a tasting environment that was fun and encouraged interaction, BAR opened the entire length of the tasting room to an outdoor courtyard. Protected from the afternoon winds, and furnished with fire pits surrounded by flexible seating pods, it’s a perfect place for the targeted younger clientele.
NEW ADDITION BLENDS SEAMLESSLY  The new tasting room is carefully integrated into the original rooflines of the production winery, utilizing the same exterior palette of metal siding and standing seam roof. Narrow-stile sliding glass doors fill the two open sides of the tasting room, making the space appear much larger than its modest footprint.
SMALL FOOTPRINT WITH DURABLE, SALVAGED MATERIALS  A Certified Green Winery, Starmont’s mission puts sustainable practices at the forefront of their winemaking operations. The new Tasting Room included building the smallest possible indoor, conditioned space and utilizing salvaged materials for interior finishes and casework.
