This place was great! Super affordable and delicious wine tasting experience. Small location but great for an intimate group experience!

I stopped by on a lazy Sunday in the neighborhood and had a really nice tasting! There are two different flights we could chose from and had the option to add a desert wine. There was one employee working and he would swing by for our pours upstairs. He was polite and attentive, explaining the wines to us. I am glad I finally found the time to visit!

I’ve been a wine club member here for several years. I mostly drink reds, but by all reports the white wines are on point too. Summertime, I typically get a case or two of their rose as well. The tasting room is adorable, with some outdoor seating available for nice days. My favorite thing about Aluel, however, are the people. The owners, Sam and Alex, are so kind, fun and knowledgeable. Everyone that has worked there since I’ve been going there has been amazing (the newest addition being Daniel, who is super wine smart and deals with my antics well). Highly recommend stopping in and maybe signing up for their wine club! (Wine club requirements are only a 6 bottle release twice a year- which you can customize. Lots of great discounts too!)

Lovely little tasting room in Cap Hill! Came after work to enjoy the sun, and the tasting flight hit the spot. My friend and I tried the New Release Tasting, and we both agreed all the wines were tasty and complex flavors and mixtures of dry and sweet. I enjoyed the Sauv Blanc so much that I got a bottle to go - $5 off too, since I purchased a flight prior! The guy behind the counter was friendly and always attentive, not leaving long gaps of time in between tastings!There are a few small tables inside, bar seating, and some seating outside on the patio where you can enjoy the sun. Parking is typical of Seattle, but since it's a little further from the main streets, there is some free 2hr parking if you get lucky and find a spot.

Very intimate spot with great wine and excellent service. If you have a large party there's an upstairs space that we didn't see but sounded like was very busy. The main lower tasting area was cozy and a great experience.

Great little tasting room in Ballard! Popped in here after a day of eating and shopping in the area and craving some good wine. They have several award winning wines and nice selection of snacks. Our server was knowledgeable and sweet, and when a totally creepy dude lingered around she handled him smoothly - appreciate when servers look out for their customers! Would love to come back. Would def recommend the Malbec!
Great vibes, good wine. Wish they had more white/rose on their selection and flights. Will definitely go again.

Great wine selection. A few call outs would be the dry rose and the Cabernet Sauvignon are both delicious. It is quiet place so great for date night or catching up with a friend.
Attentive staff and GREAT wine.
