Running Horse Wines - Cellar Door | David Kaunitz

This project for Running Horse Wines in Broke, NSW, is a playful intervention, set within the landscape and integrated with the vineyard, which provides visitors with an uplifting, intimate and contextualised experience. Through the use of shipping containers, the building reinterprets the language of industrial farm architecture. Even the signage using working horse starting gates feels like a piece of rural equipment and not out of place.

“After building this vineyard from scratch I required an intimate, uplifting space to provide a boutique experience. It is unusual that the winemaker leads the cellar door, this meant that the building needed to reflect my values and unvarnished approach to wine making. This little building nestled in the landscape has resoundingly achieved this. The proof is in the large number of happy return customers who just love the space and the experience it affords,"  David Fromberg, winemaker and owner.
