Famous North Texas Wineries

The community of Grapevine is steeped in history, including the site where the famous villains known as Bonnie and Clyde killed two Texas highway patrol officers in 1934.

The town, originally settled in the 1840’s and 1850’s, had been named after the Wild Mustang grapes that were abundant in the area during that time. Over time, and as the town grew, the Wild Mustang grapes became fewer and fewer. Many people, though, recognized the fertility of Grapevine real estate and its suitability for growing grapes. In recent years, many wineries have sprung up in the area, paying homage to the town’s beginnings.

Taste a Bit of North Texas History

Grapevine real estate once again is producing flourishing vines, and over a dozen wine tasting rooms and wineries can be located throughout this historic town. Many are in the heart of Grapevine, while others can be found on old homesteads spread among acres of gorgeous North Texas countryside.

Each winery offers its own varietals, so it is worthwhile to take the time to visit each one. Many tastings are offered with food samplings, and many of the wineries host themed or special events, maximizing the experience of each visitor.

Grapevine’s wine ambassadors, the Grapevine Wine Pouring Society, can be found at festivals and events within the city, promoting Grapevine’s many wineries throughout the year.

In a land known for its wild frontier days, the elegant wineries of Grapevine masterfully blend a bit of European character with cowboy heritage, providing a truly unique experience for the many tourists who call on Grapevine each year.
