This lovely little wine shop is nestled in the Fairwood part of Renton. My husband and I love perusing their wonderful selection of wines. The owners are great, and they are always willing to help you track down a wine. Plus, they are WSU Cougs, and it really doesn't get any better than that! :)

Awesome Experience

I LOVE this wine shop!!! It reminds me of the wine salons you will find near the coast; we're so lucky to have Wine Alley here. I'm a huge wine fan and felt I knew a thing or two about wine. But when I walked into this store, I was overwhelmed w/how much I DIDN'T know - I learned so much. This is a "secret find" and it's unfortunate that more people don't know about this place. Great selection, wonderful opportunity to learn from the great employees who run the place, and they have a passion to share their knowledge and experience their customers. I had a great experience here and would recommend them to anybody!

A wonderful place to get help and make a perfect purchase
by Russell R.
I had the opportunity to make a purchase at the Wine Alley recently. I was in need of a gift for a friend who collects wine. I am very ignorant about wine and what makes a good wine. The staff was very helpful. The provided me with an impromptu lesson on wine. When it was over they helped me make the purchase of a quality wine that was in my price range. If ever I am in need of a bottle of wine for any special occasion, the Wine Alley is the place I will go!

Great wines and some awesome cheese as well!

This is a great little hidden spot in the Renton neighborhood of Fairwood. Allison & her husband co-owner really really know their stuff! They are passionate about wine and good company. It's not the largest spot I've seen but very inviting and warm!
