Some projects are about more than a building. Crow Creek Winery in Pikeville Tennessee is about a family farm, a growing brand, and a long-term plan to turn grapes into a full experience for customers.
East Tennessee Contractors partnered with the owners to design and build a modern winery that sits right on their vineyard. The goal was simple and ambitious at the same time: create a space that can handle real production while still feeling calm, friendly, and in line with the home on the property.
The result is a 2,000+ square foot heated structure that fits the land, supports the wine-making process, and welcomes guests the moment they arrive.
Modern Winery Build in Pikeville, TN
Our client lives on the farm where Crow Creek Winery sits. They wanted more than a shop or a metal barn. They needed a true winery building that could handle production, storage, and customer visits, all in one compact footprint.
The new building gives them room to manufacture wine directly on the vineyard. It also creates a clear, modern aesthetic that matches their home and reflects the quality of the product they produce. Every piece of the layout works toward one purpose: turn their crop into wine and give customers a relaxing place to enjoy it.
Form and Function in 2,000+ Square Feet
Crow Creek Winery may seem simple from the outside, but the details do the heavy lifting. The building includes:
- Sloped high ceilings
- Epoxy concrete floors
- Loading dock
- Quarter wrap porch
- Rain water capture system, recycling and reusing water with filtration
- Metal exterior siding and roof
- Chiller room for product
- Custom designed automatic gate
Each feature solves a real problem. The high ceilings give room for tanks and equipment. Epoxy floors stand up to spills and constant cleaning. The loading dock makes it easier to move supplies and product. The chiller room keeps wine at the right temperature. Nothing is for show only.
Aesthetic That Matches Home and Land
Because the owners live on the property, the winery could not feel like an afterthought. They wanted a modern look that fit their home and raised the overall feel of the farm.
East Tennessee Contractors paid close attention to proportions, lines, and finishes. The metal siding and roof add a clean, modern edge while still working well in a rural setting. The quarter wrap porch gives guests a place to slow down, enjoy the view, and connect the inside production space with the vineyard outside.
The building reads “working winery,” but it also feels like a natural extension of the home just up the hill. That alignment matters when you live with your business every day.
Working With a commercial contractor for Specialty Spaces
A winery is not a typical storage building. It needs specific spaces for production, storage, and customer experience. That is where choosing the right commercial contractor matters.
East Tennessee Contractors approached this project with the production flow in mind. Grapes come in. Wine moves through each stage. Bottles leave the site. Every step needs a place and a path. The sloped high ceilings, chiller room, loading dock, and durable floor system all work together to support that flow.
At the same time, the building had to meet the owner’s standards for appearance and comfort. Guests visit a winery to relax, taste, and enjoy the setting. We kept that front-of-house experience in view while designing a back-of-house that can stand up to daily use.
Building for Sustainability and Smart Use of Resources
One of the most unique features of Crow Creek Winery is the rain water capture system. The system collects rain, filters it, and allows the water to be reused on site. On a farm and vineyard, every resource counts, and this system fits that mindset.
Paired with the metal exterior and roof, the overall structure is built to last. The materials handle weather, time, and the wear that comes with regular customer traffic. That means fewer repairs and less downtime for the business.
A Welcoming Entrance for Guests
The building does not just work well on the inside. It also creates a clear welcome point for customers. The custom designed automatic gate sets the tone as guests arrive. The porch wraps part of the building and gives people a place to gather before or after they step inside.
These touches help the winery feel like a destination, not just a production facility. That matters when you want people to drive out to your vineyard, stay a while, and keep coming back.
A Strong Asset for Pikeville Tennessee
Crow Creek Winery adds more than a new structure to the farm. It adds a new experience to Pikeville Tennessee. The building helps the owners move from raw crop to finished product and gives locals and visitors a place to taste what the land produces.
For East Tennessee Contractors, it is the kind of project that shows what careful planning and the right team can do. A clear vision, a tight feature list, and a focus on both function and feel came together in a building that will serve the farm and the community for years to come.
