Custom Wine Cellars and Glass Wine Rooms in Frankfort, IL

Large-lot subdivisions around Frankfort's historic downtown hold some of the biggest finished lower levels in Will County, and the wine rooms we build here are meant to be seen. Think full-height glass walls off the bar, backlit racking for a few hundred bottles, and dedicated cooling that holds cellar temperature year round.

ONIT Restoration handles the whole build from Willow Springs, including Will County permits, insulation and vapor control behind the glass, and finish carpentry that matches the rest of the level. Design consultations are free, quotes are itemized, and financing is available on larger projects.

FAQ

Wine Cellars in Frankfort: Questions

Can the wine room be visible from the rest of the basement?

That is how most Frankfort clients want it built. We use full-height insulated glass walls and sealed glass doors so the collection reads from the bar or lounge, with backlit racking that turns bottles into the focal point of the level. Behind the glass, the room is still a true cellar with dedicated cooling and vapor control.

How many bottles can a basement wine room hold?

Capacity is a design decision, not a limit of the space. A single racking wall stores a few hundred bottles, while a dedicated walk-in room in a larger Frankfort lower level can hold well over a thousand. We design racking around what you collect, mixing display rows, case storage, and large-format slots.

Do wine cellars in Frankfort need a permit?

Typically yes, because the build involves electrical work for cooling and lighting and often new framed walls. ONIT Restoration handles Will County and village permitting as part of the project, so inspections are scheduled around the build. Permits protect you at resale, which matters on homes at Frankfort price points.
