Villa San-Juliette Winery

This approximately 6,000-square-foot winery project for Villa San-Juliette Winery in Paso Robles transformed two existing agricultural barns into dedicated production and barrel-storage facilities. Designed, permitted, and constructed concurrently to meet the winery’s critical operational schedule, the project allowed the existing structures to be adapted for wine production while preserving their agricultural character. The two approximately 3,000-square-foot buildings were given distinct functions, with one serving as the primary production area and the other providing dedicated barrel storage.

Careful planning and coordination were essential to converting the existing barns into functional winery spaces capable of supporting the specialized requirements of production and aging. The project was completed within an accelerated schedule of approximately eight months, allowing the winery to begin utilizing the facilities in time for its winemaking operations. Reusing the existing structures also provided an opportunity to retain the established scale and form of the barns while introducing the improvements necessary for their new purpose.

Architecturally, the renovated buildings draw from the Tuscan character of the winery, with warm stucco walls, clay tile roofs, deep overhangs, and pergola elements complementing the surrounding vineyard landscape. New landscaping, covered walkways, and outdoor gathering areas further integrate the production buildings into the larger winery setting while softening their utilitarian origins. The completed project demonstrates how adaptive reuse can successfully transform simple agricultural structures into attractive, purpose-built winery facilities that balance operational efficiency with the architectural identity of Villa San-Juliette.
