Grove Brings Global Wine Experiences to Lakewood Ranch
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 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.
