UNESCO Heritage Site: Shouson Hill Cellars
Our wine storage at Shouson Hill comprises individual, underground concrete chambers each with their own highly sophisticated climate control system. This allows us to achieve the perfect balance of temperature and humidity – unequalled in the sector.
This unique and uncompromising approach to wine storage is passionately provided by long-standing, highly-trained staff using the most rigorous security systems and procedures anywhere in the wine industry. Our facilities, track-record and reputation have resulted in Crown Wine Cellars being able to offer the highest level and most comprehensive wine insurance cover available in the industry.
Tuen Mun Facility
Our wine storage chambers in Tuen Mun have been modeled on the specifications of our Shouson Hill Cellars. In addition to emulating the high performing physical structures, the Tuen Mun facility has been designed with arguably the best security and safety systems available anywhere in the wine storage world. These include the first ever high-security wine vaults for ultra-high value wines.
Even temperatures, balanced humidity, zero vibration and controlled light exposure combine to provide a ‘text-book perfect’ wine storage environment and unsurpassed provenance.
We are recognized in the industry for consistently leading the way in security and management systems, and have become the first choice for virtually all the world’s leading wine companies. As a result, we take care of some of the most valuable and rare wine collections in the world.

Custom made wooden cabinets line the halls of the platinum cellar.
The perfect place to admire you collection, or to sample it whenever the club house is open.
An additional option, available to Platinum Club Members, is to store wine by the bottle more conveniently in a cellar adjoining the library.
Only a limited number of wines can be held there and a waiting list is generally in force. It offers discerning members the opportunity to review or display the highlights of a collection with ease – as surely a part of the pleasure of collecting as the ultimate consumption.
Clubhouse
Access to Members’ collections from the main underground cellars is by request and wines may be delivered, or enjoyed on site – perhaps over lunch or dinner in one of the clubhouse restaurant’s rooms. Storage rates and delivery terms are detailed on the membership pages.
History
The site has a fascinating history bound up with that of the island itself, and its new role as home to the world’s finest wines ensures its prominence in the continuing story of Hong Kong. You can read more about the site and its construction elsewhere on this website.
High Quality Wine Storage For All
It is not compulsory to become a full member of the CWC Club to enjoy the benefits of world-class wine cellaring – Crown Wine Cellars’ additional purpose built wine storage makes an attractive alternative for quality minded collections and wine merchants alike.
For cellaring-only members, Crown Wine Cellars has created an exact replica of the interior conditions of wine makers’ cellars, here in Hong Kong. These above ground storage facilities are scalable but offer the same high quality offered by the underground Shouson Hill site. Rejecting the common practice of attempting to control the climate of a vast and draughty warehouse,Crown Wine Cellars builds small concrete chambers, each with its own accurate, computerized climate control systems. Taking that approach, Crown Wine Cellars is able to offer balanced temperature and humidity values which comfortably surpass the performance of competing wine storage facilities.
Just like our main cellars at Shouson Hill, wines are securely held with customers having access to their inventory online, where they may also request withdrawals and deliveries.
All wines are comprehensively insured to the highest level.
Full terms and all associated costs are available from the membership options page.
