The Wine Alley opened on April 29, 2005. Owned and operated by Scott & Allison Helfen, the wine store has been a dream for many years and has finally come to fruition. We are residents of Woodside, a Fairwood neighborhood and we are thrilled to be a part of the growing Fairwood Area.
Allison Helfen grew up in Snohomish and graduated from Washington State University with a Hotel / Restaurant Admin degree. She has been in the hotel industry for the past 20 years. Scott Helfen grew up in Highland, Indiana and graduated from Purdue University with a Computer Programming degree.
Being the wine lovers that we are and living in such a great state that produces some of the world's best wine, we decided to bring those wines to our neighbors. Washington and Oregon are two of the fastest growing wine regions in the country, with over 400 wineries. We are excited to bring the unique, hard to find, exciting and new wines to the area.
