Start Fresh at Farmers Market of Grapevine
Your journey begins at the Farmers Market of Grapevine, open Monday - Saturday: 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. and Sunday: 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. at 520 S. Main Street. This market is more than just produce. It’s a celebration of local flavor. You can find everything from farm-fresh tomatoes and homemade tamales, to honey straight from the hive and baked goods that practically melt in your mouth. Pro tip: grab a loaf of fresh sourdough and a jar of local jam for the road.
A Southern Twist at Persimmons Bar & Grill
Head to Persimmons Bar & Grill, tucked inside Grapevine Golf Course, for elevated Southern fare with scenic views. This dining experience blends country-club comfort with culinary creativity. You’ll love the smoked Gouda mac and cheese and the crispy chicken sandwich topped with jalapeño slaw. If you’re visiting later in the day, catch the sunset from the patio. It pairs perfectly with a glass of Texas wine.
Cheers to Craft Brews at Hoppin’ Grapevine
Hoppin' Grapevine is where beer lovers go to find their happy place. With rotating taps and a cozy, come-as-you-are vibe, it’s the kind of spot that feels like a locals-only secret.

Bold Bites at Meow Wolf Grapevine Café
