Grapevine

Located just minutes from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Grapevine is both convenient and brimming with activity – from outdoor adventures at Lake Grapevine to bustling, historic downtown to large resorts that are a holiday in themselves. Not surprisingly, Grapevine is also known for its wineries and tasting rooms – the city name was inspired by the region’s native wild grapes – so you can count on great wine and fabulous food to be part of the experience!

When the Cotton Belt Railroad came to Grapevine in 1888, downtown flourished. Today, original and replica buildings house locally owned boutiques, artist studios, restaurants and bars. From downtown, hop aboard the Grapevine Vintage Railroad. This 1920s-style train rides to the Fort Worth Stockyards where you can experience authentic Texas livestock history (including a real cattle drive). Every two hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m, look to the Grapevine Glockenspiel clock tower for a performance by the Would-Be Train Robbers (two animatronic figures that emerge from the tower – it’s a Grapevine classic!). At Nash Farm, the longest continuously working farmstead in Tarrant county, get hands-on for authentic 19th century farm life.

Travelling with the kids? You’ll find activities to suit everyone all ages. Head to Grapevine Mills mall, home to more than 165,000 square metres of retail shops, a cinema, a bowling alley/arcade, and more than 30 restaurants. Inside the mall is LEGOLAND® Discovery Center, perfect for younger kids to play in a splash park, tour a LEGO® factory, meet all their favourite characters and see a replica of the city of Grapevine made entirely of LEGO bricks. SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium, also located in the mall, is home to thousands of marine animals, plus a sea turtle rescue centre and an underwater walk-through tunnel. For a taste of the great outdoors, head to Lake Grapevine for water sports, hiking, camping and a floating water park.

Surprisingly, Texas is the fifth-largest wine producer in the US. Taste some of the state’s finest on Grapevine's Urban Wine Trail. A variety of winery tasting rooms serve up the state’s tastiest red and white wines and host special themed events throughout the year. When hunger strikes, fill up on Texas barbecue and Southern comfort food. Old West Cafe is popular for breakfast and lunch while upscale Old Hickory serves exquisitely cooked steaks.
