Unwined Café and Wine Bar, Strathpeffer: Relaxed Sophistication in a Highland Spa Village

Tucked just off the main square in the peaceful village of Strathpeffer, Unwined Café and Wine Bar brings a fresh and contemporary energy to this historic Highland destination. Offering an inviting mix of specialty coffee, fine wines, artisan platters, and homemade bakes, it’s a firm favourite among locals and visitors seeking a more modern café-bar experience in a beautifully traditional setting.

A Welcoming Space for All Occasions

Unwined combines the warmth of a Highland café with the style of a European wine bar. Whether you’re after a cosy coffee stop, a relaxed lunch, or an early evening glass of wine with friends, the atmosphere is always friendly and unhurried.

• The décor is tastefully minimalist with warm wood, local art, and candlelit tables

• There’s indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for sunny days in the square

• It’s a space that suits solo visitors, couples, and groups alike, with a laid-back buzz year-round

Artisan Bakes, Platters and Pours

Unwined prides itself on high-quality, locally sourced food and drink. Expect:

• Fresh scones, traybakes, and cakes, many made in-house

• Cheese and charcuterie boards, with a selection of Highland produce and accompaniments

• A curated wine list featuring European and New World bottles, often by the glass

• Specialty coffees and teas, plus local soft drinks and a small selection of beers

It’s the ideal place for a lazy brunch, a light lunch, or an early evening wind-down—especially after a walk through Blackmuir Wood or a visit to Castle Leod.

Occasional Events and Tastings

Unwined also hosts occasional wine tastings, pop-up supper evenings, and other small-scale events, often tied to seasonal themes or Highland produce. Keep an eye on their social media for updates on these popular evenings, which often sell out quickly.
