Pours and light bites are plentiful at a new wine bar now open in Tega Cay, just outside Charlotte.

Velvet Coupe Wine Bar officially opened Feb. 9 and will host a grand opening celebration Saturday, Feb. 14, at 1177 Stonecrest Blvd., a spokesperson told CharlotteFive.

The community is invited to enjoy live music from jazz saxophonist Platinum on the Sax while exploring the new upscale eatery.

Along the left, a plum-colored wall is decorated with a gallery of vintage-style framed paintings and lit by warm wall sconces. Seating includes long brown leather sofas, teal velvet armchairs, and deep purple velvet tub chairs arranged around small, round stone tables. Ornate beaded chandeliers and amber globe lights hang from the dark ceiling, creating a warm, intimate glow.

“Independently owned and founded by four strong, passionate women, we set out to create more than just a place to enjoy wine — we created an experience,” Velvet Coupe’s website says.

“Our goal is to bring our city a space filled with ambiance and soul: a place for unforgettable date nights, effortless ladies’ nights, and evenings that invite you to slow down.”

The bar’s curated wine list includes an array of red and white wines alongside bubbly Brut, rosé and moscato. There are a few beers in the mix, too.

The back wall is painted a muted plum color and features a large, back-lit glass shelving unit filled with wine glasses. Decorative lighting includes a mix of orb-style chandeliers and black-and-white striped pendant lights. The floor is dark hardwood under a black industrial ceiling.
