Crus & Amala was founded on a deep belief in wine as a connector - between people, places, and stories. At its heart is Aline Rudasingwa, a classically trained sommelier with roots in Rwanda and a home in Canada. Her journey through wine has been shaped by both rigorous study and hands-on experience, from formal certifications to harvest work across Europe.

With Crus & Amala, Aline brings together technical expertise and genuine intention, building an import and distribution business grounded in integrity, relationships, and cultural exchange. Each wine in the portfolio is chosen with care, reflecting a commitment to terroir-driven, thoughtfully made wines and the people behind them.

We believe wine is at its best when it is shared - not just poured. Whether you are at the beginning of your wine journey or seeking deeper layers of understanding, we invite you to explore alongside us.
