According to Gehry the exterior colors reflect the colors of wine.
The silver is meant to be the foil that covers the cork, while the gold itself is a representation of a zig zag mesh that covers all of the Marques de Riscal bottles.
The main entry to the plaza leads to the reception area and then to the bar, this is all situated along the edge of a small area of the vineyards. The outdoor part of the building has a small pool and a covered walkway extending from the building, this allows for visitors to over look the main views of the surrounding region.
Internally the offices and meeting rooms for staff are all located adjacent to the building and are both linked to the main building and to the winery offices and production facilities.
Divided through three levels, with 14 guest bedrooms, wine tasting rooms with a restaurant including a public dining room, a private dining room and outdoor dining terraces and many more other facilities.
