Woodinville Wine Country Scholarship for Diversity in Viticulture & Enology

With the goal of elevating diverse voices and talent in the winemaking industry, DeLille Cellars and Chateau Ste. Michelle have partnered with Woodinville Wine Country to create an endowment through the Washington State University Viticulture & Enology Program. This scholarship fund will support under-represented students within the program who demonstrate a passion for and dedication to the winegrowing and winemaking craft, as well as a love of higher learning and continued wine education. This endowment has been established as one small step in an ongoing effort to further the mission for greater inclusivity and diversity throughout our wine industry and community.
