According to Walker Warner principal Mike McCabe, "Each pavilion is elegantly unobtrusive and offers a rustic yet refined experience evocative of picnicking with a bottle of wine under an oak tree."

Per the founder’s vision, Quintessa is not about a building, it is about a place—any structures built in this place need to be minimal interventions that integrate with their surroundings.

Key to the special experience is that guests are immersed in the landscape and surrounded by the vines that produced the actual wine that they are tasting.

The Stairs: The terrain is steep and was almost impossible to walk in. The new trail, made of natural stone and formed in the terrain, became a central nerve of the project. It connects the different experiences of the waterfall and places of interest, creating a meeting of nature and culture.

The showers: At the bottom of the valley, a universal designed pathway leads into the foot of the fall. Here, visitors will experience the extreme power of the water, and be completely showered.

Our intention has been to make gentle interventions, which look like they have always been in the terrain – despite their modern form.

The lower Ledge: The lower ledge invites the visitor to the side of the waterfall. On this quiet place, the visitor can admire the fall up close with no spray or mist.
