From Grapevine, With Love

By Haley Shapley

Ahh, it’s February — stores are stocked to the hilt with products in pink and red, rose prices are about to skyrocket and love is in the air. If you’re spending Valentine’s Day with your main squeeze in Grapevine, you’ve picked the right place to celebrate your love.

If you heart vino, you’ll want to check out the Valentine’s Day Wine Trail. The adventure starts at Cross Timbers Winery, and from there, you’ll make your way to seven other wineries around town, receiving three 1-ounce tastes at each location, a premium bottle of wine, a large wine glass and food samplings. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13, and Sunday, Feb. 14. Tickets are $45 before Feb. 12, $50 at the door.

For something a little different on the day of, climb aboard Grapevine Vintage Railroad’s Sweetheart Express and sip on mimosas while you ride in authentic Victorian-style coaches to Fort Worth. A champagne brunch will be served on the way there, and everyone will get a special gift on the way back. The train departs from Cotton Belt Depot at 10:30 a.m. and returns at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are $80 per person and can be purchased here, or by calling (817) 410-3123.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
