Designing The Corkyard Patio for Boyd Cru Wines 🍷🌿
For the Boyd Cru Wine Tasting Room expansion, the vision was clear: create an outdoor patio experience that felt like a natural extension of the indoor tasting room — not an afterthought.
The goal for The Corkyard Patio was to bridge the warmth, energy, and branded experience of the interior space with a fresh outdoor setting designed for gathering, sipping, and lingering a little longer.
For this expansion, we focused on:
🌿 Bringing in plenty of greenery to soften the space and create that tucked-away patio feeling
🍷 Using Boyd Cru’s brand colors so the patio still felt connected to the full tasting room experience
🪑 Maximizing seating without making the space feel crowded
✨ Creating an atmosphere that supports community, conversation, and memorable wine moments
This is the kind of design work I love — where the space is not just pretty, but strategic. Every layout choice, color decision, and seating moment supports how guests move, gather, and experience the brand.
The Corkyard Patio is now officially open and part of Boyd Cru’s A Parisian Spring: The Boyd Cru Anniversary Experience — a Paris-themed celebration unveiling the new patio area.
Come out, celebrate, sip, and experience it all in person.
