Whether you're meeting up with friends or getting together to discuss business, you've found the perfect place. Grab a seat on one of the couches and relax with a glass of wine. Try the Mollydooker Shiraz. You won't be disappointed.

If you are looking for quality and a wonderful atmosphere, The Elusive Grape will not disappoint. Great selection of wine, food, and now beer as well. Always an enjoyable experience. Staff is super friendly and helpful too!
We stopped into The Elusive Grape after dinner on a Saturday night for a bottle of wine. We sat at the bar, played cards, and enjoyed the relaxed local crowd and live music. It’s clearly a neighborhood favorite and people seemed right at home.
The space itself is a bit cluttered and quirky, with mismatched furniture that somehow works and makes it feel cozy. The multicolored string lights are a little tacky but the slightly worn look give it a casual charm, though it could use a little sprucing up. The layout is unusual but adds to its personality.
They have a solid wine selection and great service, but I do wish they’d upgrade their glassware. The thick, heavy glasses with bulbous rims take away from the wine experience. It wouldn’t take much to offer proper, restaurant-quality tulip-shaped stemware with thin glass that really lets the wine shine.
But overall, it’s a great spot for a laid-back evening with good wine and local music. We didn’t try the food.

Great ambience.... really does feel like you're in a friend's living room but acoustics are horrible...ceilings are too high. Limited menu and it's a set dish...no real options for sides,betc. Extensive wine selection.

This is a must when visiting downtown DeLand. The owner Bill is so civic minded and involved in the community that he and his establishment are a must visit. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and the food is great!

The wine selections were not the best. We ordered a charcuterie boards that was ridiculously expensive, $35 for a ton of crackers, about 10 grapes, a few pieces of shaved warm and a little pile of what ever they scruncup on a corner....THAT WAS IT,! I asked wete the picked peppers, the giant capers and other pickled stuff that they USED to offer were, along with the slices of cheddar and Swiss...they wetr all a no show. I was told that they were ALL OUT! Yet, they served a substandard POS worth $5.00 and all we got was: we are sorry, we ate out of the elements that constitute a Charcutery....oh yea, no salami eother....I will never order food to jg ere AGAIN! ALSO, take a look at their food prices, they think they are Shula's ....ridiculous. Needless to say, we returned the $35 CRACKER, 6 GRARES AND 6 OLIVES.....DON'T EVET ORDER FOOD THERE, EVER,!!!!!
