If you’re looking for a charming weekend getaway in the DFW area, I’ve got just the place for you.
It meets my criteria when I’m looking for a quick weekend getaway: 1) a nice boutique hotel, 2) unique things to do, and 3) good food. So here’s what you need to know.
Hotel Vin is a new boutique hotel with an old feel and it’s the perfect place for a weekend getaway. It really feels like a destination.
From the hotel, it’s an easy walk down through historic downtown Grapevine. Downtown is full of interesting buildings and small boutiques plus several tasting rooms.
On the weekends, the Cotton Belt Route takes you from downtown Grapevine (right next to the Hotel Vin) all the way to the Stockyards in Fort Worth on a restored vintage train.
The Harvest Hall is a great European style food hall attached to the Hotel Vin. There’s probably a dozen or so different food stalls plus plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and live music most evenings.
