Cova’s Wine Bar:
The Cova Wine Bar is open at 10AM M-Sat and 11 Sun for guests to enjoy wines from our selection of 40 wines that we offer by the taste and by the glass. We also offer 10 flights, which is a selection of three wines grouped by theme. Flights let you experience many different taste sensations and can be very educational. Each wine is served in a tasting size and represents a savings over ordering them as three separate tastes. Our wine list changes every Friday to keep the selections new and exciting for our guests. Along with our extensive wine list, every wine we have in Cova Hand-Selected Wines is available to purchase and open for a minimal $10 corkage fee.

For guests that would like to visit us before 5 PM, we have cheese plates in both tapas and racion sizes, the tapa being a selection of 4 of our 14 different cheeses, and the racion a selection of 4 with the addition of Jamon Serrano, Prosciutto San Daniele, Braseola, & French Salami.

We start serving food from our tapas menu at 5PM daily, and are open until 11PM M-Th, 1AM F & Sat, and 9PM Sun. Our tapas menu is updated weekly with fresh and interesting ingredients and new menu items designed by our Executive Chef, Eric Lawhon.
