AT A GLANCE

Welcome to Vinotemp, we are a designer and distributor of a line of products for home and commercial use.

Vinotemp has created several brands over the years. Vinotemp (Wine Cabinets), Apex Wine Racks (Wine Racks), Wine-Mate (Cooling Systems), Epicureanist (Housewares), Element (Wine Coolers), and Brama (Kitchen Appliances).

Vinotemp, as a leader in the wine storage industry, has been designing custom premium wine cabinets and racking for over 30 years. 

Since 1985, we have sold over a million wine cellars in the U.S. and overseas. The warehouse is located in Henderson, NV. 

Element by Vinotemp is our wine and beverage appliance line. These are items we’ve designed to our specifications. Many of our designs are patented and very forward thinking. India Hynes is on the pulse of design and curates the new models with her Art background and the help of her design team. Together, products are never seen before, materials that have never been used before are now created for the appliance industry. 

Apex Wine Racks was purchased in 2010 to broaden our wine racking skills.

Wine Mate is 24 years old and has made innovative and patented wine cooling systems to work in a home or commercial environment. Each unit uses the finest materials and is designed and assembled in our Henderson, Nevada facility. 

Epicureanist provides an elegant and fun way to accessorize your home or restaurant with innovative, creative accessories. From wine related furniture, to decorative wine racks, glassware and corkscrews, many of our designs can only be found here. 

Brama is our kitchen appliance line and includes ovens, refrigerators, ranges & hoods, microwaves and outdoor refrigerators. 

THE BEGINNINGS

Francis Ravel, the innovator and creator of Vinotemp, was a man ahead of his time. He began his venture by selling and making his own wine. This is where he was first introduced to the idea of placing a cooling unit into a sealed wine cabinet. In the beginning, he had one factory making the wine cabinets and another making the cooling systems. Ravel then began designing the wine cabinets himself. In the '90s, he decided to ameliorate the problems with the current wine cooling system. With better components, he created the Wine-Mate cooling unit; the only UL approved wine cooling system of the time. His daughter worked with him for 15 years and is now the CEO of Vinotemp
