Après by Aluel is a Ballard wine bar, tasting room, and bottle shop with an après-ski lodge theme. Its wine program explores different regions, countries, and styles rather than pouring the same list year-round, with bold reds and crisp whites in an old-world style. Artisanal imported and domestic cheeses, gourmet charcuterie, and small bites are available alongside the wines.
What Makes This Place Special
Bold Reds
Confirmed during in-person visit
Crisp Whites
Their focus on elegant wines in the old-world style likely includes well-crafted white varieties, as suggested by the mention of Entre-deux-Mers in their founding story.
Family-Owned
Founded by Alex Oh and Samuel Hilbert who met in 2010 and turned their passion for wine into a business in 2012.
Food Available
Visitors can enjoy artisanal imported and domestic cheeses, gourmet charcuterie, and small bites alongside their wines.
