About Us
Crafting moments where wine, stories, and summer gather at the table.
DeLille Cellars has always believed that wine is more than what rests in the glass. It is a shared story of land, craft, and the people who gather around it. This summer, we are deepening that story with a series of intimate pairings created in collaboration with select chefs—each course designed to reveal a new facet of our wines.
Welcome to DeLille Cellars Summer Pairings—a season where thoughtful winemaking meets the imagination of today’s most inspiring kitchens.

Our Story
From pioneering blends to shared tables.
Founded on a commitment to old world winemaking and new world curiosity, DeLille Cellars helped shape the story of Washington wine. For decades, our focus has been on small-lot, meticulously blended wines that express both place and patience.
Every barrel, every vintage, is guided by a simple belief: wine should invite conversation. It should feel at home beside a simple plate of grilled vegetables or a meticulously plated tasting menu.
The Summer Pairings series is a natural extension of that belief—a chance to explore how our wines move with the rhythm of the season, one course at a time.

TodayA table set for collaboration
With the Summer Pairings series, we invite visionary chefs to interpret our wines through seasonal ingredients, regionally sourced produce, and imaginative menus.
Summer Pairings
Where DeLille wines meet the imagination of select chefs.
This summer, DeLille Cellars is partnering with a handpicked group of chefs to create a limited series of wine dinners and tasting experiences. Each evening explores how our wines evolve alongside thoughtfully crafted dishes—celebrating seasonal produce, coastal influences, and the quiet details that make a meal unforgettable.
Seasonal, ingredient-led menus
Chefs build each course around the structure and aromatics of our wines—think heirloom tomatoes with vibrant rosé, or slow-roasted meats alongside layered reds.
Intimate, story-driven evenings
Winemakers and chefs share the inspiration behind each pairing, from vineyard selections to finishing touches on the plate.
A limited, summer-only series
These collaborations are available for a short season only, designed to be savored slowly and remembered long after the last glass is poured.
Our Philosophy
Wine that honors the vineyard, and experiences that honor the guest.
Every DeLille wine begins with careful site selection, gentle handling, and patient aging. That same attention follows our guests—from the way we pour, to the way we host, to the way we collaborate with chefs who share our respect for craft.
The Summer Pairings series is intentionally small in scale, allowing us to remain close to the details—so each guest feels as considered as the wines in their glass.
“When a chef understands a wine, they’re not just pairing flavors—they’re extending the story of the vineyard onto the plate.”
