We believe that wine tasting should be an approachable activity and brings together people who want to learn more about it, or just want a unique social experience with their friends. Uva staff are knowledgeable (but not pretentious) and offer superior customer service. Uva also offers a small selection of regional craft beers for those who aren’t as excited about wine as we are.More info at https://uvawineplymouth.com
