About ALUVÉ
A stop at ALUVÉ makes the most sense when you understand what sets this winery experience apart within Walla Walla. ALUVÉ was founded by retired Air Force pilots JJ and Kelly Menozzi, whose second career brought them to an estate vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley. Their aviation background gives the brand a distinctive but grounded personal story. In the glass, ALUVÉ is best understood through its broader style rather than any single vintage. Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and related Bordeaux varieties are important to the portfolio, supported by careful small-lot production.
If a particular ALUVÉ wine or vintage matters to you, check the current offerings before visiting. On site, the hospitality style at ALUVÉ helps determine whether it is the right stop for your day. The estate tasting is intimate and reservation-led, allowing the owners' journey and vineyard development to become part of the conversation. For planning, ALUVÉ is currently best treated as public estate tasting by reservation. Rather than trying to be everything to everyone, ALUVÉ has a clearer fit for travelers who appreciate its particular setting and hospitality style.
Guests who will gain the most from ALUVÉ are veterans, aviation enthusiasts, Cabernet drinkers and guests seeking a personal estate experience. The best companion to ALUVÉ offers a contrasting wine focus or hospitality scale within the same corridor. Because Walla Walla mixes destination estates with very small producers, ALUVÉ works best when paired with a nearby stop that offers a different scale or style. A little planning will make a visit to ALUVÉ smoother. Even with public tasting available at ALUVÉ, hours, events and reservation policies can change, so check the current visitor information before heading out.
