"A new custom crush facility joins the few
other wineries in Napa Valley wholly built in a cave. Bacchus
Caves construction company is about half-way through boring a new
cave for Custom Crush Napa off Soda Canyon Road overlooking the Stags
Leap District."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
"The pampering portion of the Cave is
Spa Terra, a 9,000 square-foot, $7.5 million project including 10 spa
treatment rooms, two couples therapy rooms for wet and dry
treatments, steam grottos soaking pools with water walls, a
relaxation lounge..."

"We come out here (to the cave), and
time flies."

“Bacchus is building caves to be used as
dining rooms, libraries, romantic retreats, driving ranges,
and home theaters.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
 |
“Some of (our) clients are very busy
people, and they describe their caves as the eye of the
hurricane…a beautiful retreat and a quiet place where they
can just get away.”
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| |
 |
 |
“They’re hidden, they’re hip, and even in
the dead of summer, a cave…feels as comfortable as a cool,
spring day.”
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
“Bacchus Caves has established a
reputation for working closely with clients to realize their
dreams. The company motto is “Anything is possible
underground,” and they break new territory every year.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
“If you can dream it, we can build it.”
|
|
|
|

 |
“Add soft recessed lighting and just the
right furnishings and you’ve got your own private hideaway…”
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
 |
“At nearly 1,700 square feet, Bialla’s
cave is a handcrafted hideaway whose centerpiece is a dining
nook dotted with candles.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
 |
“Gravity is really the thing we’re
overcoming. How fast we go depends on ground conditions.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
 |
“…the subterranean spaces that Bacchus Caves
creates dispel the notion that something so primitive cannot
be luxurious.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
“A cave is a great use of space and with
a personal touch they become an extension of the individual.
They are very energy efficient.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
 |
“From an environmental, ecological
standpoint it’s underground as opposed to above ground, so
it’s not seen. It doesn’t affect the natural landscape.”

Wine
appreciation has gone mainstream. "Sideways," a film about two friends on
a California wine-tasting trip is up for 5 Academy Awards at next week's
Oscars. Reporter Angela Frucci goes underground to give us a taste of the
newest trend among wine hobbyists.

KFWB Lifestyle Minute,The New Caveman
Anthony Dias Blue, December 2004
You thought the
caveman was extinct? Think again. There’s a new breed of caveman and he
lives in Malibu. He even has a name – Dave Provost.
Dave Provost,
otherwise known as Bacchus Caves, excavates and designs personal caves.
He’ll dig your cave to your specifications, and then you can use it for
wine storage, for a subterranean dining room, or just for frolicking
around with a significant other, well out of view of the neighbors. Some
of Dave’s satisfied clients claim that they spend more time underground
that they ever expected. (And we’re talking real people here, not
vampires.) In all seriousness, I’ve seen some Bacchus-built caves and
they’re really stunning – beautifully finished and beautifully lit. A
personal cave is a great place to entertain. If you need a cave, get in
touch with Dave, at bacchuscaves.net, or call 310-317-9885. Like the
Bacchus caves motto says: Anything is possible underground!
