The architect describes the space as “industrial chic.”

The Lounge at DeLille Cellars, which opened at the site of the old Redhook Brewery in Woodinville in June 2021, has been named a top 10 winery restaurant by USA Today. The Lounge landed at number four on USA Today's Top 10 Winery Restaurants in the nation list.

DeLille established its production headquarters and a tasting-room at the former Redhook location, at 14300 NE 145th St., in 2019. Last summer it opened The Lounge, a full-service restaurant offering full wine pours, tastings and a menu curated by chef Michael C. Toni, in addition to local beers and cocktails. In the summer the space also includes an outdoor dining-deck. The 5,000-square-foot restaurant was designed by architect Hinge Studio and built by RMiller. The Lounge has two private event rooms. An otherwise open floorplan is divided into several distinct areas created using shifts in furniture, lighting, and elevation. Heavy reclaimed timbers draw the eye to the bar which anchors the center of the room.

“To receive placement in USA Today's Top 10 Winery Restaurants in the nation at the start of our second year of operations is such an honor and is reflective of the dedication and passion of our team and the service we seek to provide our guests,” Chef Toni said in a press release.

The Lounge and its seasonal outdoor space, The Deck, are currently open Wednesdays through Sundays, starting at 3 p.m weekdays and 2 p.m weekends. Reservations are available and walk-ins are also accepted with availability. More information is at http://www.theloungeatdelille.com.
