In 2013, the winery was awarded the California Preservation Design Award for “Craftsmanship/Preservation Technology” at the 30th annual California Preservation Awards. The Champagne Cellars had fall into disrepair after the winery closed to the public after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. After reinforcing the stone walls, additional work was done to the cellars that included repointing all joints, repairing wall cracks, removing mortar and re-grouting the outer walls.

In 2016, the Sonoma League for Historic Preservation honored the Buena Vista Winery for the preservation of significant historical structures on its property.

Saint Astier® Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) was used for this extensive restoration work.
