Sonoma Magazine

A recent article in Sonoma Magazine highlighted the design of Cuvaison Winery and the recently completed open-air boathouse tasting pavilions. Roche+Roche worked with architect Douglas Thornley, then of Gould Evans, to design a wine-making campus that places visitors squarely in the midst of the wine-making process, yet simultaneously allows them to feel visually and viscerally connected to the land. The article comments that the new boathouses are “cantilevered over a scenic irrigation pond teeming with ducks, cranes, herons and even the occasional freshwater otter, the open-sided redwood and steel structures let you imagine you’re relaxing on your own private dock with lively bird chatter as a soundtrack.”
