No lesser figure than General Chiang Kai-Shek is responsible for this site. Back in the 1930\u2019s, he commandeered a suburban quarry, from which the British had extracted granite to build the city\u2019s famed riverfront Bund, then ordered the construction of a bunker to safeguard both military equipment and cultural treasures. Today\u2019s visitors encounter a vastly changed scenario. After entering a botanical garden and walking through a modest wooden gate, they descend to a subterranean realm. The 32,000-square-foot venue combines commercial functions with museum-style displays devoted to oenophile culture and viticulture.<\/p>\n

One long vaulted space stayed in its existing state, essentially empty except for the candles illuminating the bunker\u2019s concrete niches. \u201cWe use that as a way to explain the history,\u201d creative director Kyle Mertensmeyer<\/a> explains. Elsewhere, architectural installations are designed to be easily dismantled without damaging the historic surroundings. Oak wine barrels serve as pedestals for glass vitrines. On the ceiling above a counter employed as both a tasting bar and a point-of-sale, Mertensmeyer massed crates that once contained bottles of Ch\u00e2teau Mal\u00admaison into a sculptural swoosh\u2014all without assistance from digital design tools. A separate VIP cellar is a cylinder 8 feet across. It\u2019s ringed by bottles up-lit by LEDs and capped by a mirrored ceiling, providing a selfie-magnet that\u2019s practically irresistible.<\/p>\n
