Both the brunch and lunch menu were available to order, and private rooms open to families with the littles.

The food, superb service, welcoming atmosphere, and experience were all spectacular I definitely plan to attend another brunch event. I highly recommend!

Unfortunately, this winery just wasn't for us…read more The first thing I said when we walked in was, "It feels way too corporate in here," and the experience from there pretty much confirmed that first impression. We were greeted by a somewhat responsive human who immediately needed our first name, last name, and email address before we could even get settled. At one point I was thinking, "I'm sorry, should we have scanned a QR code and filled out an application before entering?" After waiting a few minutes, we were finally seated, but the service didn't get much warmer. Our server barely made eye contact with us, and overall the staff just seemed uninterested in engaging with their guests. Ironically, the only time we really saw employees smiling was when they were talking to each other. Maybe this atmosphere works for some people, but when I visit a winery, I'm looking for something welcoming, personable, and enjoyable. This felt more like a transaction than an experience. Unfortunately, we won't be returning or recommending it. Mark Ryan Nextdoor was way more pleasant!

The staff was friendly, and I liked the overall atmosphere. It's very cozy and cute for a casual wine stop. The prices did feel a little on the higher end, and the red wine we ordered was slightly vinegary for my taste, so that part wasn't really my favorite. Overall, still a great experience and I'd come back, especially for the atmosphere and to try a different glass next time. A very cute neighborhood wine bar / bottle shop vibe.

I was totally just expecting wine and maybe a charcuterie board, but this come to find out, they had steak bites as well! Food--5/5 I thoroughly enjoyed the steak bites, but the bread??? And the meat and cheese???? Honestly you can go just there just for the food. Service--5/5 I don't remember who severed us, but he gave us a detailed run down of the menu, and always made sure our plates were packed up and water was full. Also gave some light conversation as well Ambiance -- 4/5 I don't know if rustic is the word, but it felt very appropriate for the service provided. All in all, I give this place a 5/5 would recommend!

Don't miss this utterly charming and unprentious wine tasting shop complete with blue checkered table cloths covering the outdoor tables. Their charcuterie (two cheeses and one meat) $19 is available alongside almonds $5 and candied pecans $5. We enhanced our board with a delicious can of lemon pepper smoked oysters by Ekone ("from tide to tin") $13. Highly recommend this he has Rustic Bakery flatbread. They have wine by the glass -- we tasted the Clos Du Mont-Olivet 2022 Lirac $15/glass as well as the Henrich Naked Orange (calcareous and natural biodynamic) $15/glass and the Champagne Jacquart "Mosaïque" Rosé $20/glass. We decided on a bottle of the Lirac and a glass of rosé champagne. They also carry local jcoco chocolates chips as well as tinned mackerel, tuna, codfish. The buyer is exceptionally talented. The curated collection of bottles could go up against the better bottle shops in Seattle -- but with a nonchalant aplomb rich with elegant ease shifting gears between bottles of internationally renowned Bollinger $68 and hyper local The Orcas Project 2024 Garnacha $37 or 2025 Nebbiolo $35 or 3 of 6 allocated Chartogne-Talley Saint Anne extra brut for $98. Favorite part? The staff's educational notes about the wines, how they were made, and tasting notes that holds the greatest value of all. So make some time to peruse and enjoy the learning before or while tasting. Exceptional value and deserving of best of neighbor recognition. Mariah serves as a welcoming hostess.

The woman working was incredibly kind and welcoming, the kind of person who makes you want to stay and hang out a little longer. Since they were closing for a few days, she even let me take the rest of the bottle home, which really stood out to me. The space itself is cozy inside with a relaxed vibe, and outside seating is perfect for enjoying the town center. Such a great spot to unwind if you're in Poulsbo.

We ordered a white flight and a red flight. These wines, all eight, missed the mark for me by a mile and change--Odd palettes with zero complexity. A couple whites had no discernable flavor and the reds were flat. I'm by no means a wine snob, not even close, but even I can tell when artistry is present in a bottle. State 42 wines are just not for me, so take my words with as big of a grain of salt as you like. I know these little wineries work very hard and I've yet to have a "bad" experience at any winery, including this one, despite the noise level. Their wine simply didn't win me over and that's ok.

I settled in and chose their Aluel Signature Flight and their Aluel New Release Flight, each a carefully sequenced lineup of their handcrafted Washington estate wines. The Signature Flight had richer, more developed profiles while the New Release offered bright, excited youth. I paired them with the European tinned fish, sardines and pulpo that arrived in polished little tins, and asked about the oysters. The server said they often have them for pairing events, so depending on timing you might catch fresh oysters too. Compared to other wine bars or tasting rooms in town, Aluel strikes a rare balance: serious about wine craft but laid back in vibe, welcoming instead of pretentious, and offering well curated bites that elevate rather than distract.
