Avida is inspired by
the tapas culture of Spain.
We champion the wines of Jerez
and those made from tempranillo.
We also like gin.
Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
we pour one particular wine for just seven dollars a glass.
It may be a new release, an old favourite, or just something of which we like the look.
Ask the staff what we’re pouring ~ while stocks last.
Some wines are accessed with the Coravin wine preservation system
