Elevating the Sky Club Experience: A Toast to Delta’s Austin Lounge
When Delta Air Lines debuted its Delta Sky Club® at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the design was all about raising the bar—literally and figuratively. Perched above the concourse in a striking circular glass structure, the lounge blends modern elegance with a warm Texas welcome. Guests can enjoy local craft beers, art from regional talent, and—thanks to Vineyard Wine Cellars—a spectacular climate-controlled wine display curated by Delta’s own Master Sommelier.
Just steps from the bar, the wine cabinet is an architectural focal point. Rich walnut panels frame a curved glass display, where nearly 200 bottles are showcased in perfect symmetry. Backlit to highlight the labels and colors of the collection, the display is split into dual temperature zones for optimal storage of reds and whites. Precision climate control is powered by Wine Guardian refrigeration systems, discreetly housed in custom ceiling wells to preserve the clean, seamless design.
From its elegant presentation to the perfect pour, this installation ensures that every glass served in the lounge is poured from a bottle stored at its ideal temperature and condition. It’s more than just wine storage—it’s a statement piece that sets the tone for the entire space.
Whether you’re starting your journey or returning home, a stop at Delta’s Austin Sky Club offers the perfect pairing of travel and taste. Here’s to great wine, great design, and taking every experience to new heights.
