- KayJazzBedford, Texas382 contributionsHistoric, Wineries, Shopping,Railroads, Fun and So Much MoreGrapevine historic downtown offers so much for the whole family. The city is quite active in keeping everything fresh and clean. From family fun at Nash Farm, the Botanical Gardens, Grapevine Vintage Railroad, Vineyard Campgrounds, Parks, Lake Grapevine, over 10 wine tasting venues, shopping and some of the finest restaurants. The 3rd weekend of May is Main Street Fest featuring craft beers. In September, there's Grapefest which is the largest wine festival in Northern Texas. And starting in late November Grapevine transforms into The Christmas Capital of Texas where everyone gets into the spirit of the season. It's fun for all!Visited February 2020Traveled as a coupleWritten August 3, 2020
- Rebecca BMount Pleasant, North Carolina692 contributionsI love this small townAfter arriving in Fort Worth we headed for Grapevine Texas and was not disappointed. This little town has so many little stores, boutiques and restaurants. The shops are packed with so many different things that I don't think you have a problem finding something really cool to take home or to give as a gift. The stores mostly had prices like you'd expect but there were a couple who seemed to be pricey. My husband has said numerous times that he really enjoyed walking around in downtown. We even went back the next day so this shows we really liked it. There's something for everyone here, I promise.Visited November 2020Traveled as a coupleWritten November 11, 2020
- Calli SBertrand, Nebraska19 contributionsObsessedI moved to Grapevine the beginning of August and this is my favorite place to go every week. It is so fun to just walk up and down the street and check out the shops, wineries, food, live music. Don't get me started on how great it is at Christmas. There's plenty of parking to find. But I will say be ready for a ton of people during the Holiday Season. It's still worth it because there are tons of photo opportunities all over. It is also probably a little pricey. But in my opinion it is worth it. Some things to schedule and do would be a trian ride on the historic train that makes short trips or a longer ride to Fort Worth for the day. There's also a glass blowing studio that you can schedule a time to make a paperweight, wine glass, pumpkin, or Christmas ornament. Those depend on what season it is. There is Italian food Napoli's, Seafood Dinos, French Food (Chez Fabian), Mediterranean (Piaf), and chili (Tolberts), Live music on the weekends at Willhoites, Chez Fabians, Tap-In, Tolberts, and Piaf. Some of my favorite wineries are Landon, Sloan and Williams, Messina Hoff, and Wine Fusion.Visited August 2021Written January 5, 2022

Such a fun place to wander around in. The city has many events going on, but even on a normal day it is fun. Everything has retained the look of years ago, but now are shops and restaurants. The shops all carry a wide variety of things and restaurants are good plus there are a number of wineries in Grapevine. All of which are a "must try!" I have been there often and will contiinue to do so!

Just walking around downtown was great. We were walking around very early in the morning so most shops were closed. We will definitely be back next year to walk around when more shops are open. A very nice atmosphere!

We love coming from out of state 2 to 4 times per year to our regular haunts here in historic downtown Grapevine. I prefer off season like early March or early October because crowds can get heavy during big community event dates. The wineries are family friendly, some even do juice tastings for kids. And we love the variety of shopping and restaurants for everyone. Live music everywhere in the evenings! Make this area a stop when you're passing through.

Safe, inviting, always changing (in a GREAT way). Every time we are privileged to have family, friends visiting us, we immediately invite them to downtown Grapevine, TX. Great place to get away, without getting away (Smile).

I've lived in Grapevine for 15 years. I LOVE living here in such a beautiful historic town. My husband and I regularly just walk through town because it's so quaint. I've gone to many small towns and to walk their town squares or main streets, but Grapevine has so much more fun things to see and do. Don't miss out coming during Christmas. We are the Christmas Capital of Texas!

Grapevine is home to at least 14 wine tasting rooms along the main street. Each offers a sample tasting of the wines they market. It is a very walkable town. In addition there are several quant restaurants along the street. There is also a rail station and a welcome center with an electric train set. It is a delightful place to spend a day, but be careful you don’t drink and drive. Take a UBER, cab, or even the train so if you taste more than you should , all will be safe.

I have been going to the Dallas/Ft Worth area for work for years and how I missed this gem I don't know. It is worth a stroll anytime! I went on a nice Sunday afternoon and went through shops and wine tastings. Umbra and Bingham were great wine tastings.

On our trip to Europe we had a 5.5 hour layover at DFW International Airport so we had to decide between killing time at the faceless and boring Admirals lounge with two free premium drinks or do something that makes sense. We decided on the last alternative, rented a car and took the 15 minute drive to Grapevine which was on a cold and sunny day the best decision we ever could have made.
In about 3 hours we saw almost everything of Grapevine Historic District: the historic railway departing with lots of steam and noise, a great and chatty locksmith, wonderful glassblowers, lots of historic buildings, windmills, cafes with delicious coffee and danish pastry, beautiful little shops with all kind of souvenirs ... And guess what: wie couldn´t see any McDonald´s, Starbucks, Dunkin´ Donuts, Burger King, CVS Pharmacy or whatever chain you have usually in every even one horse town along Main Street. Absolutely awesome !
So: whenever you have a more than 4 hour layover at DFW it´s worth to rent a car, take the short drive to Grapevine and see something absolutely unique ! We´ll come definitely back and choose the next flight intentional with a long layover. The shuttle takes you in about 15 minutes to the car rental center from all terminals.

The Grapevine Market held on Thursdays and Saturdays is a scam. I purchased jewelry there that I later saw at a discount store for almost half the price. Exact same packaging. Noticed that the Grapevine vendor had stuck her price sticker over the discount store's sticker. Some vendors claim to have made the jewelry by hand, but saw 80% of the jewelry at this discount store. Bracelets for $5 at the store were selling for $45 at the market. Beware of these liars!

If you go to the Historical District, be prepared to park and walk, or go early enough to get a parking spot on Main Street. Curbside parking is hard to get, but there are free parking lots behind many of the businesses, as well as by the train depot. Many of the shops like the glassblower and blacksmith, are closed on Sunday, so do check websites. It is a very quaint town and full of small shops and places to eat.

This is a well known travelers destination as well as a local population attraction. I'm sure they start in the morning around 9-10 and go into the night for the stores . The restaurants are usually always open. All the hotels and motels will probably have the Grapevine pamphlets or you can look on the internet or call them on their info line.
Are you open this Sun sept 4?

We're not quite sure if these locations offer a Saturday brunch. They for sure offer a Sunday one. I'd call ahead to check to see what their menu offers on Saturday.
