Pair of Steel Winery Buildings in Grass Valley, California

Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., was proud to manufacture and supply these (2) pre-engineered steel winery buildings on behalf of a buyer in Grass Valley, California, in March of 1999 and December of 2006.

Currently, both buildings function as grape-processing facilities on the grounds of Naggiar Vineyards & Estate Winery, an expansive, 42-acre property in the heart of the Northern Sierra Foothills that features a tasting room, event center, winery building and a 20-acre estate vineyard. The family-owned operation also owns an adjacent, 40-acre vineyard property and has secured numerous awards and recognitions through the years, including mentions and rankings in Wine Enthusiast magazine as well as numerous other industry authorities.

Naggiar Vineyards owners added these (2) prefabricated steel wine buildings to the property at different times to accommodate continued winery growth, and they expand the winery’s grape-processing capabilities, enabling them to produce more wine to meet growing demand.
