My husband and I came in with our two toddlers and my MIL for dinner. As our reservation was at 7 pm and we were in the area earlier than our reserved time, we strolled to their tasting room to purchase a glass of wine. I can't say enough how kind the staff - both at the tasting room and restaurant - were to my family. For that one staff who gave my two year old the water buffalo figurine, he still plays with it, so thank you! As we visited right after Christmas, the decor was still up, which made the place very cozy, especially when sitting right in front of the humongous fireplace. If we ever get the chance to come back, I would certainly stop by again but also keeping in mind to visit when there is daylight so that we can enjoy the view of the area and water. read more

Visited this winery recently and had a mixed experience. Our server was great very attentive and friendly throughout the visit. The ambience is beautiful with stunning views, and the location is easy to get to with good parking, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the wine flights/palettes didn't really impress me just not my personal taste. We also wanted to dine at the restaurant, but it was completely sold out. It sounds like many of their best wines are already purchased by wine club members before they even hit the shelves, which was a bit disappointing for first time visitors. Overall, a great spot for the scenery and atmosphere, but the wine selection available during our visit fell short for me read more

THE VIEW IS BACK! It's not as if ot disappeared, but it was hidden behind trees and shrubs. If you want to see trees and several cascading waterfalls, sit seating south. For to die for lake view, sit facing north. Thank you, Dr. Bob, for removing the blockage. Oh....yes... the food... Sorrentos Joe Scramble was hot to the last bite: eggs, spinach, mushrooms, and onions. I could eat it every day. The Italian omelette was delish as well. Don't be put off by the description that says "Spicy sausage." My finicky partner loved it, remarking it wasn't spicy at all. Mimosas were perfectly balanced. Great service. Enjoy! read more

Horrible. Walked in to get food to go. On a Monday. The server was completely upset I was ordering food to go. I said I would sit outside and order, then could box it myself. She was so upset I asked to talk to a manager. This wasn't my first time here and I've never had a problem with this. Maybe it was because I was in sweats? It was the worst customer service. Tables all around me empty. It is the closest restaurant to where we stay. Incredible how rude they were tonight. read more

Beautiful winery that overlooks Lake Chelan We had a dinner reservation at Sorrento's for 6 (4 adults and 2 young children). Originally we wanted to have a seat outside then we were told the tables don't accolade our party sizes and some of the other tables are strictly for wine tasting which is fine We had the clams, truffle fries and fire calamari. The calamari is dusted with cayenne peppers which we requested to see if they can not add that since the kids loves calamari but they weren't able to do that so only us adults were able to enjoyed that. Something to beware of if your kids love calamari For our entrees we ordered the salmon, Italian sausage and spinach cannelloni, steak for an additional $12 crabs were added on top, and sausage and pepper classico - everything was cook nicely and flavored was as expected After our meals the kids were able to run around in their little court yard, checked out their little pond with koi fishes, a waterfall and of course we were able to watch the sunset Overall the staff was great, the experience was lovely and it's an overall wonderful spot to check out when you're vacationing; just about 10-15 mins away from the town and our rental home read more

View 10/10, service 10/10, wine 10/10 (subjective to your preferences but I usually love most of their whites and drier reds)! Honestly words aren't enough to describe this place. Just visit and see for yourself. My boyfriend introduced me to this winery a year and half ago and I immediately signed up for membership even though I have other winery memberships. They have a satellite location in Woodenville so I pick up my shipment at that location which is close to my house. Woodinville location is also lovely and hosts a lot of events like live music and wine tastings. I visited Chelan location during different seasons and their decorations have been always on point. The view is amazing with the Lake Chelan and mountains. Interior is largely Italian-inspired. Both Julia and Julia gave us tastings and they were both very knowledgeable with where the wine comes from and taste notes. I also learned that they don't serve wine that's been opened for longer than a couple days. On this visit, we had an honor to have chat with the owner, Bob. He is a very passionate and delightful person. He started the winery in his 60s and now it is one of the oldest wineries in Chelan. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Absolutely loved this place! The view was beautiful, the service was great and the white wine was ice cold. They have seasonal menus and we tried a few things. Everything was amazing. Will definitely be back soon. Stunning. read more

We planned a last-minute weekend getaway to Chelan and booked a resort on Friday night. Early Saturday morning, we hit the road, excited for a spontaneous adventure. On our drive, we looked up things to do in the area and saw that Chelan is surrounded by many wineries. Based on the glowing reviews, we chose Tsillan Cellars as our main destination for the day. When we arrived, we were immediately blown away by the estate -- the views were absolutely stunning and the grounds were beautiful. However, the experience quickly took a disappointing turn. The restaurant was fully booked, so we went straight to the wine tasting room. When we approached the bar, there were two bartenders: a male who was already assisting customers, and a tall female dressed in black. Her demeanor stood out immediately -- no smile, very cold body language, and a piercing stare that made us feel unwelcome from the start. As this was our first visit, we politely asked about how the wine tasting worked. She explained the tasting process and mentioned that the fee would be waived if we purchased two bottles. While her words were fine, her tone, facial expressions, and overall attitude made us feel very uncomfortable. Still, we chose to give her the benefit of the doubt, assuming maybe she was just having a rough day. As we continued the tasting, we interacted with several other staff members who were warm, friendly, and helpful. It was a relief -- until we noticed something troubling. The original bartender who had been so cold toward us was now serving other (white) customers with a completely different energy: smiling, chatting, laughing. It was like watching a totally different person, and it felt like a slap in the face. When we were ready to purchase a half dozen bottles of wine, we returned to the bar. That same bartender was again happily engaged with another group of white customers, so we asked a different young woman for help. She asked for our name to pull up our account, but we hadn't been asked for any information earlier. She checked with the original bartender, who again shifted into her cold, dismissive mode and incorrectly claimed she had opened the account under someone else in our party. The young lady helping us was clearly caught in an awkward position but remained kind and apologetic as she quickly checked us out. By then, the damage was done. We decided not to make the purchase. It's 2025 -- and it's heartbreaking to still be treated differently because of how you look. What should have been a beautiful memory was soured by the feeling that we weren't welcome. One person's attitude tainted the experience at an otherwise lovely estate. We won't be returning, and I hope this feedback leads to some much-needed reflection. read more

Your food is horrific. Seriously do something about the chef asap. Everything else is perfect. Beautiful place to eat. Wonderful service. But the food is insanely bad. Why not just simplify your menu down to basic things your team can cook? Try to work your way up to competing with Olive Garden before you try to compete with Napa. I want to be clear, that is a serious suggestion, simplify the menu to things you can cook like 5 types of pasta and 5 very simple types of sauce. A few proteins. Don't let the chef do anything creative. That's the only way I can imagine this chef being successful. Or just get a better chef. read more

Great location, great atmosphere, beautiful view. Unfortunately the food is good but not great. I certainly expect better considering the prices they charge read more

WOW WHAT A TIME WE HAD!!! We can't say enough about this place and their staff (shout out to MATT)!! We had a birthday function in the mountains and ended up at this beautiful winery with 14 other girls. The drive up and inside remind you of a hallmark movie. I wish the Italian spot next door wasn't reserved because the food online looks Devine! I have already raved about this place to anyone that would listen! Def a MUST go to if in the area... read more

Award-winning winery. Positioned up on the slope near the vineyard. Beautifully designed building and interior. It has a warm cozy feel, especially in the winter. A huge fireplace, musical entertainment, a small gift shop, outdoor seating with a beautiful waterfall, bridge over a Koi pond and restaurant. Not to mention a great variety of wine. We enjoyed a bottle of Bocciolo Di Rosa - Rose Wine, by the fire. And enjoyed the sounds of The Skiffs. Also great during the holidays, like Valentines Day! In 2020 they were voted Winery of the Year! read more

This is a really beautiful tasting room with tons of space, great wines, and the day we were there- fun activities too! We had just been dining in the adjacent Sorrento's and were blown away by the view and gorgeous grounds. After brunch we meandered into the tasting room and found comfy seats by the fireplace and ordered a few tastings. All the wine we sampled was great and we loved the tasting display they brought out. They were having a really nice fall family activity day with crafts for kids to work on. While we didn't have any kids with us, it was neat to see that everyone was having a great time. This is such a beautiful spot with a great view, amazing restaurant, and a comfortable spacious tasting room. Definitely will be on our list to visit when we return. read more

I went to Tsillan Cellars on a solo trip in May. I had seen pictures of it online and wanted to go and see the view of the lake while sipping on some wine. I tried the tomato soup, red wine, and two cannolis for dessert. The food and ambience were spectacular! What really stuck with me was the service. I was one person during a dinner rush - and did not order much food and only one glass of wine. My bill was not high, but the host and wait staff treated me like I had rented out the whole place. They were are all so kind and friendly. They gave me a table in front of the fireplace with a view of the lake. It was truly just such a warm and welcoming experience. Will definitely recommend to everyone! read more

We are visiting from California. Came here for a wedding celebration. The bride and groom sky dove onto the winery and held a small ceremony on the winery's property. So awesome. Afterwards we had wine while awaiting dinner. The property is beautiful. There are koi ponds to entertain the kids. The koi literally allowed kids to pet them! Service was excellent. Tho a bit chaotic, understandably. So probably best to keep track of your own tab and look it over. Complimentary tastings came with every 2 bottles of wine purchased. This was printed on a sheet but not brought up by staff when you buy your bottles. Not that our party needed more wine! Prices were reasonable. Dinner at the restaurant was lovely. The cuisine is Italian food. Food was decent. Bread was warm but came with a kind of salad dressing dip rather than a good olive oil/balsamic vinegar. The fried calamari was unexpectedly spicy (that made a 4 year old cry). I had the ciopino. The seafood was cooked perfectly but the "broth" was the consistency of marinara sauce. My husband was sad that there was no lasagna on the menu. read more

Enjoyed the wine tasting here. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for lunch, but it would have been nice to eat there. As the wine tasting, they offered a couple options. A mixed flight, a red and white. If you purchase two bottles of wine they waive the cost of the flight. So that's nice. I would definitely go again, as the winery was beautiful and the wines were good. read more

We just had a lovely tasting at Tsillian with Jewlia. The wines were all delicious and we ended up purchasing 4 of them...a Riesling, muscat blend, Viognier and a Merlot. The tasting room is beautiful and Jewlia was knowledgeable and fun! As an added bonus, this winery has the best views of the valley and Lake Chelan. If you are in the area, do stop in for a visit. We really enjoyed ourselves! read more

Stopped by for Sunday Brunch on the way home from the Methow Valley. Booking was super easy, both initial reservation, and changed up our booking to a party of four. First impressions - the location is spectacular, easy parking, great setting overlooking Lake Chelan. The staff at the front desk were really personable - their happy, welcome greeting was really nice after driving a long distance . Showed us through to our table outdoors in the beautiful courtyard. Service was just right - Ashton - happy, friendly, knowledgeable, just the right pace. We were about 30mins ahead of our other guests, so we got started with some coffee and mimosas. Was great to sit out and enjoy the weather and people watch. Our guests finally arrived, we ordered off the brunch menu. Price reasonable, portion sizes perfect. 10/10 for the kitchen, food was delicious. Quick glass of Sangio wrapped up our trip, we bought a bottle to-go. Would definitely stop in again on the way past. read more

Beautifu! Classy, great food, great wine, great place! Mr. J is a great guy! Definitely Recommend if your going to be in Chelan!

This place is nice. More of a Tuscan vibe but very commercialized and more cater towards birthday parties, bachelorette, etc. Outside area is lovely though, and the restaurant is great. read more

Wine, service and ATMOSPHERE was outstanding! The views were incredible. The tasting was delightful and only $15! That's a steal! Plus Trina kept the pours coming (what a gem- go DAWGS!) The food was a little pricey and lacking for what we paid... Dr. Bob came out and chit chatted us up for awhile, WOW! What a story! Our only complaint was about one of the workers who was either having a bad day or simply didn't like us. She was short, rude, and overall just not welcoming. People like that really don't belong in the service industry. Highly recommend coming here if you are in the area! read more

Disappointed about the food and wine but beautiful restaurant. The service was lovely and the fish pond is so fun. I ordered a side of shrimp which were very undercooked. I tried a few wines and they were not good. Would bring our own bottle if we go again. Good kids menu. Nice experience but pretty disturbed by the raw shrimp. read more

Beautiful grounds. Delicious wines. I was enthralled by the architecture, rolling hills and stunning views all around. Took me to Tuscany! Very family friendly. They have a koi pond with lots of fish that can keep kids busy while you sip and savor. They even gave fish food to feed the fish. There's a waterfall and walking path by the pond that kids can explore. Loved the whole experience. When you are done tasting, make sure to stop at Sorrento's for dinner! read more

I can not recommend this place enough. Whoa what an amazing experience!! From beyond friendly and informative staff, live music, beautiful scene and amazing food. We first met Kelly who was just incredible. She taught us some things about wine and the venue then passed us off to Julia who did most of our tasting. The koy pond that they give you some fish food for. This place is a slice of HEAVEN!! I could spend every weekend here. Service was immaculate! The sun started to sneak up on us and our server Julia cane and adjusted us. The food, amazing! Every bite. Family friendly too. One of my best wine tasing experiences to date. If i am totally honest I think Kelly was half of our experience. She is so personable and convinced me to be a wine memeber this whole experience was so spectacular read more

We are wine club members so of course we have to stop in when we come to Chelan. Today that's exactly what we did however this time we were greeted by a gal that was not so friendly originally. We received our first glass of wine in our tasting and went and found a seat outside and glad we did as we then met Christy outside working the bar in the garden area. Christy went above and beyond as a host to us and everyone she was serving. She was truly a joy in our day. read more

My roommate and I went here for wine tasting and had a great time. We went in the beginning of March and it was still pretty cold but the view was amazing with the snowcapped hills, as well as the vineyards, even though they aren't growing at the moment. The wine tasting is $15 for five samples of wine. A great part of this is that if you buy a bottle it'll take away the cost for the wine tasting. They have bottles ranging from $20-$40 on the list so this was a great deal! Anita helped us with our wine tasting and she was amazing. Can't wait to come back this summer! read more

Fell in love with this winery at our first visit in early summer of 2020. I don't know if it was the view (it sits on top of a hill overlooking the lake), or the weather (it was sunny and blue skies), or the ambience....or maybe all of the above and then some. But our visit, although short, was memorable. We liked the wine, so much so, that we joined the wine club. Our first visit, was a short one. It was only by chance that we discovered this winery (another story, another review). Sorrento's Ristorante was closed due to Covid, but they were offering a dinner package for 4. It was around Father's day and their dinner package was 4 huge cut of steak, vegggies, starch and dessert; plus we bought a couple of bottles that they recommend with the steaks. When we picked up the dinner package, the tasting room was open so we decided to do an impromptu tasting. They had a corn hole game set-up on the lawn. We were enjoying the wine, weather, and outdoors. We went back for a second visit, later on in the summer and celebrated a birthday at Sorrento's...definitely another story, another review. read more

tsillian cellars may have won best washington wine cellar in 2020, but this very day in 2024, they won the key to my heart. "and this is no easy task!"...my cruel and hardhearted bride of 36 years would tell you, sipping her Chateau St Michelle in her odd and ironic mason jar. The first thing I noticed was the twisted sliver of lemon upon my pasta. It felt like a physical metaphor for both my twisted expectations of italian cuisine, and twisted love for red vines! Hahahahaha. The scallops in my linguine were shockingly good, easily the best scallops I've ever had. The same goes for their massive prawns, all of which were piping hot and yet tender. The takeaway of the evening was as the old adage follows: A dead piranha doesn't eat much. every undertone in every dish was accented to perfection, and the main thesis statements of every dish were subtle. This created a beautiful dynamic range in the elegance of our stay, at Tsillians. attached are a photo of aforementioned linguini, and a touching photo of Gary the snail from Nickelodeon SpongeBob SquarePants. read more

Wine is good and the tasting room knows what they are selling. The restaurant staff done know what they are serving. I asked what was on the charcuterie board and was told strawberry cheese and goat cheese plus other food. No goat or strawberry cheese. The charcuterie board in the picture is not even close to what we were serviced. Not worth $28, $5 maybe. This board is why we decided to not stay for dinner. As for the wine, it's all good. I can see why they won an award. read more

Lovely place. Received a gift certificate for my retirement and was looking forward to a special meal. First we had a feta appetizer, which was nice. My husband had the shrimp salad with fruit. He enjoyed it but was not expecting the spicy blackened shrimp. Not a good combo. I love Risotto but was quite disappointed. The risotto was not done well enough and was not cooked enough. . We had asked for three shrimp to come out not blackened. But order came out blackened, which I genuinely disliked. Had to wait quite a while to get more shrimp. They were cooked in a strange sauce. We found the waiter unhelpful. As though he did us a favor by not charging for the additional shrimp to correct the mistake. I think he was new. He just didn't have attentive skills. We live in the area but don't intent on coming back. Too much money for a so so meal. Also you need bug fans on every table. I understand it's harvest but they were thick tonight. read more
