Grape & the Grain

The Write-Up

The full story

Grape & the Grain is an unpretentious Mills 50 wine bar where the real draw is the covered back patio, a backyard-chic hang that guests call the best in Orlando. Prosecco pours on tap alongside frozen sangria and the Sangria Swirl, charcuterie boards land for the table, and Florida craft beer covers the non-wine crowd. Kind bartenders, good music and a relaxed, welcoming energy make it an easy place to sip and unwind with your people.
