Aluel Cellars - Capitol Hill

I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste Washington wine and cozy place.

This place is bit distant from the center of Capitol Hill that it was quiet, which I enjoyed very much.

Me and my company tried flights; tasted 4 different wines. The manager explained every bottle of wine nice and in detail. Overall, it was a great experience.

Always friendly. Always good.

Good wines and great service!

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!)

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.

Alex and Samuel are the best!The wines are fresh, long and balanced! Totally recommend!

Great vibes, good wine. Wish they had more white/rose on their selection and flights. Will definitely go again.

Love this place! The wines are amazing. Highly recommend "coat of arms"!

Awesome staff, delicious wine! Thanks to Alex for a great experience.

Amazing spot in Capitol Hill, spectacular Washington wines and great service. Owners Alex and Samuel are absolutely delightful!

Alex and Samuel were very helpful at advising the best wines from Aluel. I recommend the charcuterie board, and that you stop here on your trip to Seattle! A hidden gem.

Great little winery. You can get flights, glasses, or whole bottles, and they have some food/snack offerings as well. We enjoy being able to support a Washington winery without leaving the neighborhood.

They claim to support poc but appropiated my (african) culture. They stole my name and claim that they "made it up." They let people butcher the name Aluel and it is very offensive. Go here at your own risk, if you want to support these people.
