The goals were clear: Jim and Greg wanted to establish a wine cellar facility on par with the best available anywhere else worldwide. The setting should embody all the core values of wine, including tradition, history, romanticism and beauty while offering unparalleled levels of access and service. The piece de resistance would be the inclusion of an exclusive member’s clubhouse and park-like surroundings.
\nWhile searching for the ideal location, Jim and Greg came across what has become known as the Deep Water Bay Drive Bunkers. This unused but historically significant military site offers the perfect setting for CWC owing to its pre-World War II construction and untouched surroundings.
\nCrown, being known for its innovative and industry-leading ideas, approached the Hong Kong Government with a partnership concept to restore the site to historical accuracy, while transforming it into an interactive location that could be enjoyed by a broad section of the local community.
\nAnd thus, the Crown Wine Cellars project began.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
