✨🍷 Winemaker Dinner at Maximilien 🍷✨
We’re bringing this back… and it’s been a while.
The photos you’re seeing here? From our last Winemaker Dinner in 2023—an unforgettable night filled with incredible food, flowing wine, and a room full of great people. We’ve been waiting for the right moment to do it again… and this is it.
Join us on April 30 for an intimate evening overlooking Elliott Bay 🌅 as we celebrate the grand finale of Release Month.
🍽️ 4 courses from Chef Fidel
🍷 4 wine pairings featuring our new releases
👋 Guided by Alex & Samuel throughout the night
This is the best way to experience these wines—thoughtfully paired, shared together, and brought to life in a way you won’t get anywhere else.
We gave our members first access, and spots have been going quickly—only limited seats remain.
✨ It’s going to be a special night.

🇮🇹✨ ITALY IS CALLING… through March 29th! ✨🇮🇹
At Après by Aluel, we’re currently exploring the regions and varietals of Italy — and this limited-time theme officially ends March 29th. ⏳🍷
Think rolling Tuscan hills, volcanic Sicilian slopes, and cozy alpine evenings… all poured into your glass. 🏔️🔥 The vibe? Pure après-ski energy — relaxed, a little indulgent, and completely transportive.
🍷 Build your own flight from any of the wines open that week
🇮🇹 Take home bottles from our curated Italian selection
🏆 Plus shop favorites from previous themes — including our own award-winning Washington wines
This is your window to immerse yourself in Italy without leaving Seattle. The theme wraps up March 29th, and we’ll be moving on to what’s next… 👀
Don’t miss your chance to sip through Italy with us while it’s here. Grab your friends, settle in, and let’s make it a proper après. ❄️🍷✨

We’re incredibly grateful that one of them loved it so much, they left us this real medal. 💙🏅
