Aluel Cellars - Ballard
American · European · Seattle, WA
About
One reviewer calls it 'charming and welcoming,' and that sentiment sums up this LGBTQ+ and BIPOC-owned wine bar in Ballard. Aluel Cellars focuses on Washington wines made in traditional or old-world styles, with owners Alex Oh and Samuel Hilbert handcrafting each bottle. The vibe is mellow and upscale, attracting a 30s-to-50s crowd of locals who appreciate good conversation alongside small plates.
Beer and wine only here, with outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. Through the holiday season, the tasting room transforms into Frosted & Fizzy, a pop-up featuring sparkling wines from around the world. Reservations are accepted, and the space works well as an after-work stop.
