DeLille Cellars takes private groups from 12 to more than 250 guests for seated wine dinners, corporate receptions, tastings and family celebrations. Events take place in the three-story tasting room and the restaurant the winery runs side by side at the former Redhook brewery in Woodinville, Washington, in the wine district northeast of Seattle.
Seminars and company events
Company groups can book a corporate reception in the Tasting Room, a seated dinner in one of the restaurant's private rooms, or a guided wine program. The activities offered to groups include blending seminars, a black glass challenge, where guests taste without seeing the wine, and behind-the-scenes tours of the winery. Formats range from multi-course seated dinners to passed bites, always paired with DeLille wines. The events team manages logistics from drinks to food and adapts the space to the brief, and the site shows the venue closed to the public for private bookings. Room-by-room details are in a Private Event Dining Guide that the winery sends on request. Audiovisual equipment is not described, so confirm it early if the program includes presentations.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not offer weddings. Family parties, evening receptions and intimate dinners are part of the private events offer, and they suit anniversaries or celebrations that center on wine and food.
Rooms and capacities
In the Tasting Room, the bookable spaces are The Library, The Second Floor and a set of private rooms. In the Restaurant, groups can use The Alchemy Room, the D2 Room and further private dining areas, and the team also handles larger events across the building. Capacities per room are not published; the overall range runs from 12 to more than 250 guests. A second address, DeLille En Ville in Seattle's University Village, has its own Club Room, Solarium, Shaw Room and Main Dining Room for private events, useful for a group that wants to stay in the city.
Catering
The Restaurant at DeLille Cellars opened in 2021 next to the winery and tasting room. It is a full-service, wine-focused restaurant with locally sourced cooking under Executive Chef Michael C. Toni, and it supplies the food for private events. The wine list covers the house labels, including Chaleur Estate, a Bordeaux-style red blend, its second wine D2, and Four Flags, made with Cabernet Sauvignon from the Grand Ciel estate vineyard on Red Mountain.
History and setting
Chris Upchurch, Jay Soloff, Greg Lill and Charles Lill founded DeLille Cellars in the spring of 1992. The name comes from Julius DeLille, a Huguenot ancestor of the Lill family who started a winery and brewery in what is now the Czech Republic in 1574. The first Chaleur Estate was released in 1994. In 2019 the winery moved all production and operations to the Old Redhook Brewery in Woodinville and built its tasting room there. Jason Gorski has led winemaking and viticulture since 2019. Wine & Spirits magazine has named DeLille among its Top 100 Wineries of the World several times.
