For this project, completed in 2018, Nordby Construction worked with architects Taylor Lombardo on a large-scale renovation and expansion of the production facilities at Sequoia Grove Winery. Located on 22 estate acres just off Highway 29 in the Napa Valley, Sequoia Grove Winery is set within a grove of giant sequoias, which give the winery its name. The production facilities are tucked behind the historic, 115-year-old barn that serves as the winery’s tasting facility.

The project team created a linked grouping of structures that enables the winemakers to accommodate the winery’s full production. The renovation, which lasted 14 months, increased the overall production facilities by over 50%. A canopy now links the renovated production building to the newly constructed fermentation building, which includes commercial and show kitchens to accommodate hospitality and events. A new barn structure housing barrel storage is linked to a pre-engineered metal building used for fermentation. Site work and landscaping provide a sense of connection and pedestrian links between the structures.
