SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24

Today is a day for relaxation, networking, and the exploration of Grapevine with your Sales Leader.  You’ll take in the panoramic views of historic downtown and beyond from your perch 150 feet up on the Grapevine Observation Tower atop Hotel Vin.  Note that across the railroad tracks is Vetro Glass’ glass blowing art studio where you’ll see pieces of art being created before your eyes.

There will be plenty of time for shopping from a diverse group of retailers including The Spice and Tea Exchange, art galleries, coffee shops, antiques, many boutiques, a cigar bar, GV Olive Oil Co., Rocket Fizz, and several Chocolatiers.  And you’ll get an overview of some of the area’s colorful heritage that set Grapevine as the backdrop for the signing of a famous treaty as well as visits by the infamous Bonnie and Clyde.

And, of course, there will be no lack of options for food and beverage consumption.  You might choose to stop for an afternoon snack stop at Farina’s Winery for their legendary spaghetti pizza, or at AJ’s on Main showcasing a specialty brew served alongside mouth-watering smoked Texas BBQ.  And don’t forget, true to its name, Grapevine features 7 core local wineries and tasting rooms that make up its famous Urban Wine Trail, with over 30 total winery experiences, satellite tasting rooms, and wine-focused venues located throughout the city.

For those who believe no meal is complete without a sweet, choices range from artisan chocolates, edible cookie dough, ice cream and gelato to scratch pies just like your grandma made.

We’ll make sure you return to Hotel Vin in plenty of time to rest before our Celebration Dinner.
