  1. You should check out the Church of Light by
    Tadao Ando. The surface treatment is amazing.
    The idea of the winery is also very interesting.

  2. Curious if these two typologies could be in one building. I assume that you are thinking of either - or, but a church is only used for a short time during the week - and the wine is a major part of a church service.
    Just a thought.
