When you pour a glass of wine, you’re enjoying more than just the product of fermented grapes. You’re sipping on the result of years of innovation, precision and hard work across a complex, interconnected industry. From research greenhouses and processing facilities to bottle plants, storage warehouses and the final pour in a restaurant, every step in the lifecycle of wine depends on the right conditions to thrive.
At BMI Mechanical and BMI-PacWest, we understand those conditions inside and out. For decades, we’ve been behind the scenes supporting California’s world-class wine industry. Our team provides proactive HVAC and mechanical support that helps protect quality and improve efficiency, no matter which part of the wine lifecycle you’re responsible for.
Here’s a closer look at how we help keep the wine flowing smoothly from start to finish.
Supporting Agriculture & Crop Science
Before a single grape is crushed, the wine story begins with innovation in agriculture. Wineries rely on years of research and careful cultivation to grow high-quality vines, develop better pest control strategies and optimize growing environments. All of that starts in greenhouses and research facilities, and those spaces depend heavily on precise environmental control.
We support agricultural research operations by maintaining the HVAC systems that control temperature, humidity and air quality in these specialized environments. Whether it’s a greenhouse developing drought-resistant grape varieties or a facility advancing pest deterrent technologies, their success depends on stable conditions. That’s where our team comes in.
Maintaining a controlled environment is about comfort as well as enabling the science that drives the future of viticulture. Our preventive maintenance services, custom solutions and fast response times help ensure that your facilities keep running smoothly, even when the outside climate doesn’t cooperate.
Winery & Distiller Operations
Once grapes make it from the vine to the production floor, timing and temperature become even more critical. The wine-making process—from crush to fermentation, aging and bottling—is incredibly sensitive to environmental conditions. One fluctuation in temperature or a mechanical failure at the wrong moment can ruin an entire year’s worth of work.
That’s why wineries across California trust BMI to handle their climate control and refrigeration systems.
During harvest season, these systems work overtime to support the delicate fermentation and chilling processes. Temperature must be held within a narrow range for weeks on end. Humidity needs to be consistent, ventilation must be reliable and refrigeration systems need to perform without fail. We understand how much is riding on this stage, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Whether you’re running a large-scale operation or a boutique winery, we offer tailored support through our Guaranteed Maintenance programs and on-call service. Our team monitors system performance, catches potential issues before they become emergencies, and ensures you’re set up for success year after year.
HVAC for Bottle Manufacturing Facilities
Even before the wine is bottled, the bottle itself needs to be manufactured under the right conditions. Bottle production is a high-heat, high-demand environment, especially in areas like the Central Valley. Equipment runs hot and employees work long shifts in intense conditions. Without reliable cooling, operations can slow down or come to a halt.
We know the demands of industrial environments. We’re experienced in designing and maintaining HVAC systems that hold up under pressure. Our team makes sure these systems perform reliably day in and day out, allowing your teams to focus on hitting production goals without being slowed down by breakdowns or discomfort.
Maintaining Refrigerated Storage Facilities
Once you bottle your wine, the journey still isn’t over. Before it reaches a retailer or a customer, it needs to be stored in climate-controlled environments that preserve its flavor, protect its integrity and ensure product quality through distribution.
That’s where refrigerated storage comes in, and where BMI’s services are absolutely essential.
We maintain and support refrigeration systems across winery storage rooms, warehouse facilities and regional distribution centers. These systems aren’t just about keeping things cold, they’re about consistency. Wine stored at the wrong temperature—even briefly—can suffer in flavor or shelf life. We make sure that doesn’t happen.
With our proactive maintenance programs, we help you avoid unplanned downtime, optimize energy usage and ensure the systems you depend on are always ready to go. From compressors and coils to refrigerant management and controls—we’re there to keep your product protected, wherever you store it.
Comfort Where Wine Is Enjoyed
The final step in the wine lifecycle happens far from the vineyard. It takes place in the restaurants, wine bars, tasting rooms and hospitality venues where customers experience the product you’ve worked so hard to create.
In those moments, comfort matters just as much as quality.
Imagine a guest sitting down to enjoy a glass of your latest release and the space is too warm, too cold or too humid. It takes away from the experience. That’s why HVAC systems in service venues matter, and why those systems need expert attention to perform their best.
BMI provides HVAC maintenance and service to restaurants and hospitality venues across California. We help our clients create inviting spaces that enhance customer comfort . This ensures customers enjoy wine at the right temperature, in the right environment. Our support team works discreetly and efficiently to keep systems running without disruption to service or ambiance.
Because at the end of the day, the goal isn’t just to protect the product but to enhance the full experience of it.
A Partner from Grape to Glass
The wine industry is built on precision. It’s an industry where small changes—temperature swings, delayed response times and aging equipment—can have massive ripple effects. That’s why the right mechanical partner makes all the difference.
At BMI Mechanical and BMI-PacWest, we’ve spent decades supporting the facilities that make California’s wine industry thrive. We bring deep expertise, rapid response and a preventive mindset that helps protect your product, your people and your bottom line.
Whether you’re advancing agricultural science, crushing grapes at harvest, manufacturing bottles, storing inventory or pouring for customers, we’re here to support every part of the process. Our work happens behind the scenes, but it has a lasting impact on your success.
From vine to vintage, from bottle to bar—we’ve got your back.
