Sonoma Wine Bar

Occupying a prominent location overlooking the Town Center of Virginia Beach’s fountain plaza, Sonoma Wine Bar & Bistro is an upscale, metropolitan venue that offers not only fine vintage wines but a complete dining experience.

For this project, the firm’s design team was challenged to create a diverse interior landscape within a 3,500 SF confined space. Using dynamic geometry, the space is bisected by a diagonal axis, placing the bar at center stage with a separate wine merchandising area and seating at the front and rear. An open grid ceiling, hand-blown glass fixtures, a central fireplace, and a 47-tap, custom-designed cruvenet are just a few of the features. The project is a provocative fusion of taste and style, combining a club-style atmosphere with a slick cosmopolitan aesthetic.
