If this is your first time in Downtown Grapevine, you’re in for a real treat! Historic Downtown Grapevine is one of the cutest Downtowns you’re likely to find, with amazing restaurants and shops along Main Street! The Palace Theater, a one-screen vintage movie theater, offers classic movies and live shows! Take a train ride with the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, watch a murder mystery at the Texas Star Murder Mystery, or make your own art at Vetro Glassblowing Studio!
The Annual Grapefest Festival held in Historic Downtown Grapevine brings in live music, shows and activities to an already bustling Main Street, making for a fun experience for the whole family!
Grapevine was founded in 1844, a year before Texas joined the United States. It was named for the abundant wild grapes that grew in the area, is now home to several outstanding vineyards and wineries
Parking
There is paid parking VERY close to the entrance, a parking garage next to the Hotel Vin (my preferred location) and FREE parking just a little ways away on Dallas. There are also FREE parking sites with complementary shuttles! The easiest is to ride the Texrail!
Lots of vendors and shops have Texas shirts, but my favorite was the Grapefest shirts for only $12 at one of the vendors near the front!
Be sure to get a WinePop at Wine Fusion Winery! I loved the Grape Sangria! Click HERE to visit their website.
There is some GREAT live music on Main Stage!
The GRAPESTOMP is $10 for a 2 person team, and you must each stomp grapes for 2 minutes! The team with the most juice stomped wins….!!!!!
They even have a KIDSTOMP!!
There are a ton of food vendors and all the regular delicious Grapevine Restaurants are open, too! Tolberts is always good.
Lots of unique vendors for one of kind gifts, too!
Grab a table around the Gazebo to enjoy the music!
