Caffvino, the coffee and wine hangout on Heights Boulevard, is officially in the wine game after securing its liquor license on Feb. 17, 2026. Owner Andy Adams, a familiar name in Houston’s wine circles, will host a Corkscrew U tasting at the cafe on Thursday, March 19. Neighbors can look forward to a rotating lineup of small‑producer wines and laid‑back education nights that slide in alongside the shop’s daytime coffee and pastry service.
As reported by CultureMap Houston, Caffvino picked up its liquor permit on Feb. 17, 2026, and now pours roughly 20 wines by the glass and bottle. Adams, who previously built a following at The Corkscrew, has put together a list that leans on smaller distributors and limited‑production bottles. CultureMap highlights a few wallet‑friendly examples, such as a Marques Del Silvo Gran Reserva Rioja at $10 a glass or $38 a bottle, and a 2024 Lapis Luna Sauvignon Blanc at about $9 a glass or $36 a bottle.
According to the cafe’s own site, Caffvino sits at 1030 Heights Boulevard and keeps weekday hours that stretch into the evening, with most nights running later. The menu centers on Cruiser Coffee espresso and pastries from Houston bakers, then shifts in the later hours to dessert and wine service, with an eye on staying firmly rooted in the neighborhood.
Corkscrew U Wine Class
Caffvino’s first Corkscrew U tasting is set for Thursday, March 19, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are listed at $20, and the session will feature at least four wines and snacks, according to a Facebook post cited by CultureMap Houston. The event is billed as an informal, participatory class with Adams leading the pours and conversation, more neighborhood hangout than stuffy seminar.
Family Roots And A Neighborhood Focus
As reported by the Houston Chronicle, Caffvino opened in August 2025 and is designed to feel more like a living room than a restaurant, with Adams even incorporating family heirlooms into the decor. The Chronicle notes that the cafe moves from daytime coffee and pastries to an adults‑focused wine and dessert service after dinner, and that a no‑children policy kicks in after 6 p.m.
With its compact Heights address and a wine list that changes as small lots sell out, Caffvino is shaping up as a low‑key gathering spot for people who want espresso by day and a relaxed wine program by night. More classes and pop‑up tastings are expected to find their way onto the calendar as the team builds out its evening rhythm.
