Des Voigne Cellars: Premium Washington Wines with Soul
Welcome to Des Voigne Cellars
Des Voigne Cellars has built a reputation for being a fun place to taste good wine so if you’re a fan of wineries that answer your wine questions with an air of thinly veiled contempt and act like they’re doing you a favor by allowing to taste their wine, then Des Voigne Cellars is probably not the place for you. No smooth jazz in this tasting room, the atmosphere is more like a laid back cocktail party with your good friends.
Tasting Room Hours:
Saturdays 1:00 to 5:00
Sundays 1:00 to 4:00
($5.00 Tasting Fee refunded with wine purchase)

Winemaker
Darren Des Voigne
Darren and Melissa Des Voigne started Des Voigne Cellars in 2004, a few years after a long honeymoon that took them all over Italy. After spending weeks eating and drinking their way through the country, and having spent one week at a winery in Castellina in Chianti (just as the historic 1997 Chiantis were being released) they decided to abandon their half-formed plan of opening a wine shop and take their garage wine making hobby to the next level.
With the help of UC Davis seminars and Darren’s brother, Derek (owner/winemaker of Cuillin Hills Winery) Darren honed his wine making style to become one of the two best Des Voigne brothers currently producing wine in Woodinville.
Darren is also an avid collector of vintage jazz records and admirer of Deco poster art, interests which inspired the look and names of all of Des Voigne Cellars’ wines.
