Grove Brings Global Wine Experiences to Lakewood Ranch

Enjoy premium wine tastings at The Tour Down Under and the Wines Around the World series, beginning in late September.

Presented by Grove August 30, 2021

Grove was built with wine lovers in mind. We specialize in a wide-ranging selection of house-made dishes that emphasize fresh, seasonal ingredients with a matching wine list that has been thoughtfully cultivated in favor of quality and accessibility. We enjoy introducing our guests to labels they may be unfamiliar with or hesitant to seek out on their own!

We invite you to join us as we take you on a tour around the world, featuring our favorite wineries and light bites to complement them.

The Tour Down Under: A Five Course Wine Dinner will be held September 25 in the Grove ballroom. Sommelier Austin Harlow and award-winning Chef Greg Campbell will guide our guests through this immersive five-course wine dinner. The Tour Down Under will feature the best wines from Australia, paired with locally sourced ingredients, to create a one-of-a-kind Aussie experience. Purchase your tickets early at grovelwr.com.
