Thanks for all who participated in Artful Sips at our Capitol Hill location this summer. We had some amazing paintings!

These were the top three paintings that truly captured your experiences at Aluel Cellars.

A couple of months ago, we asked you to support us in voting for Aluel Cellars in the Seattle Times "Best in the PNW" contest. Wow, did you ever show up! We won not just one award - but THREE!

We were the ONLY winery that placed in all three wine related categories including taking top honors in "Winery of the Year." We cannot tell you how honored we feel that so many of our wine club, friends, family, and supporters showed up to vote!

To celebrate and say "Thank You" to everyone who voted and supports us on a consistent basis, we're throwing a party at a loyal club member's business. We love supporting local as much as possible and we want you to come out for a night to celebrate with us.

Join us on November 10th from 5PM to 8PM for an evening at Southgate Roller Rink to enjoy karaoke, skating, wine, and more with the Aluel staff as well as owners Alex and Samuel. Your ticket purchase will include a reusable Aluel Cellars take-home glass filled with your choice of "The Scholar" or Pinot Gris. Additional wine (including premium selections) will be available to purchase.

Not a roller skater? Let's just say that Samuel isn't much of one either - don't laugh too much if he's on the rink looking like a penguin waddling around. Don't worry, Southgate has generously offered to open their karaoke room and we'll have plenty of wine to enjoy during the evening.

This event is only $28 and could sell out. CLUB MEMBERS: As our most loyal supporters, keep an eye on your email for a special discount code. If you can’t find this code, send us an email or DM on social media.

We hope to see you all to enjoy this fun evening with the owners and staff of Aluel Cellars!

We're taking a summer break. Our team has this weekend off to enjoy the sunshine and the best part of summer. We'll be open tonight (Thursday) for your last minute stock-ups. In 7.5 years, we've never once closed down our locations to take some extra time off. This year, after conversations with our team - we decided to take a little time to ourselves and allow our entire team to enjoy a fun weekend off during the heart of summer. We'll be using this time to refresh. We're finishing the summer break with a sunset cruise in Elliott Bay with our entire team next Tuesday evening! All locations will be closed this weekend (July 26-28). We'll be back to normal hours next week and have a lot of fun promotions coming.
