Sip, Explore and Enjoy the Experience at Uva Wine Bar in Mashpee Commons
Uva Wine Bar offers something a little unexpected and entirely unforgettable. It’s not just a wine bar; it’s an experience, a gathering space, and a place where laughter flows as freely as the rosé.
From the moment you walk through the doors at Uva, located in the bustling Mashpee Commons, you’re invited into a space that combines cozy, modern and rustic vibes, and where the story behind the wine is demystified and the joy of discovering new flavors is magnified. Whether you’re out for a date with that special someone, catching up with a group of friends or it’s one of the stops while on your Cape bachelorette weekend—there’s something for everyone at Uva.
What makes Uva Wine Bar so unique is the experience that begins with the wine machines—yes, machines. The sleek, user-friendly dispensers allow you to sample wines in 2, 4, or 6-ounce pours. With clear descriptions of what each varietal is placed above the dispensers, it’s like a self-guided tour through curated vineyards. Curious about a bold Spanish Tempranillo? Never tried an Albariño? Want to revisit an old favorite without committing to a whole glass? Go right ahead and try something new with each sip.
Don’t expect to see big-box wine brands here. Uva’s wine selections are thoughtfully hand-picked by the owners, intentionally focusing on small-label wines—bottles you won’t find at your typical liquor store. These wines are chosen with care, each one telling its own story and best of all, if you fall in love with one (and you probably will), you can buy a bottle (or two) to take home and enjoy while you’re hunkered in with your comfy clothes on. Conveniently located next door to the wine bar is the boutique, a thoughtfully created shop with the intention of inviting you to bring the experience home. There, you’ll find all the unique, small-label wines featured at the bar, ready to be wrapped up and enjoyed again in your own space. The boutique also showcases locally made, wine-inspired home décor and gifts, like cheese boards, and all of the perfect little accompaniments to elevate your next pour.
You absolutely don’t need to be a wine expert to enjoy yourself at Uva Wine Bar. In fact, not knowing is half the fun. You can come to learn and explore, or you can simply sit, sip, drop those shoulders and relax. The beauty of the self-serve is in the freedom to explore at your own pace—while the staff is there to help you find something you’ll enjoy, there’s no pressure, just you, your glass, and the joy of discovering something new whenever you’re ready. And as for food, Uva’s small plates are designed to complement the wines and spark conversation—artisanal cheeses, dips, charcuterie boards, and creative flatbreads encourage sharing and ordering.
And this summer, the experience gets even better as Uva is unveiling a gorgeous outdoor seating area complete with oversized planters overflowing with greenery, and twinkling string lights that make every evening feel like a celebration. It’s the perfect spot to sip under the stars and soak in the summer air. Whether you’re inside enjoying the cozy ambiance or outside enjoying the golden hour glow, Uva’s aesthetic is as thoughtfully curated as its wine list.
If you’re wine-curious or a seasoned swirl-and-sniff type, Uva Wine Bar is your invitation to slow down, taste something new, and enjoy the moment. It’s not just about what’s in your glass—it’s about who you’re sharing it with.
