Get ready to raise a glass at the highly anticipated GrapeFest – A Texas Wine Experience presented by Bank of the West. The Largest Wine Festival in the Southwest returns for four unforgettable days featuring exceptional wine encounters and exciting festivities.

GrapeFest is one of the Top 10 Wine Festivals in the U.S., earning the #7 spot in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

Grapevine’s Toast to Texas Wine Culture

GrapeFest is the Southwest’s Largest Wine Festival, celebrating 39 years of Texas winemaking heritage alongside international flavors. Each September, Historic Main Street in Grapevine transforms into a four-day celebration of the Lone Star State’s wine culture, complete with live entertainment, culinary delights and activities for all ages. Located just minutes from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the festival blends small-town charm with big-city accessibility, making it a can’t miss experience for wine lovers.

Festival Highlights

The People’s Choice Wine Tasting Classic sponsored by Audi Grapevine is a cornerstone event, giving guests the chance to sample and vote for their favorite Texas wines. At the Liberty Park Plaza International Wine Experience sponsored by Gaylord Texan Resort, visitors can explore varietals from across the globe, expanding their palates with unique flavors and styles.

For a hands-on twist, GrapeStomp and Champagne Cork Shoot-Off let attendees test their grape-crushing skills or aim for a cork-shooting prize. Live music fills the air across multiple stages, while local chefs and vendors bring their best to the festival’s diverse food offerings.

Families can enjoy kid-friendly rides, games and activities, ensuring that the festival is a memorable outing for all ages.

VIP and Pairing Experiences

For those seeking a more curated experience, GrapeFest offers elevated tasting events and exclusive venues. Workshops led by experts guide guests through the art of matching wines with gourmet dishes, making these sessions a must for enthusiasts. 

Tips for Planning Your Visit

Plan to arrive early to enjoy the full range of experiences. Many guests pair their GrapeFest visit with a tour of Grapevine’s Urban Wine Trail, featuring local tasting rooms within festival grounds. Extend your stay at one of Grapevine’s hotels or resorts, and explore the city’s restaurants, galleries and shopping districts.

With its blend of Texas tradition and international flair, GrapeFest is more than a wine festival — it’s a celebration of Grapevine’s unique place in the world of wine. Whether you come for the tastings, the culture or simply the atmosphere, GrapeFest promises an unforgettable toast to Texas wine.
