Plan to travel to Texas in September so you can enjoy the 25th Annual Grapefest in Historic Downtown Grapevine, Texas. The dates are September 15, 16, 17, and 18, 2011.

According to the online information, this is “the largest wine festival in the Southwest.”

Events include entertainment, wine tasting, a culinary pavilion, GrapeFest Golf Classic, a Vintner’s Auction, Carnival, Arts & Crafts and food booths. Anyone who enjoys Champagne will want to check out the Champagne Terrace, Champagne Brunch and Champagne Cork Shoot-Off. In addition the Baylor Region Medical Center will have a KidZone. The KidZone will include interactive games, petting zoo and live entertainment.

Admission on Thursday is free and early Friday from 10am til 5pm admission is also free. Otherwise daily admission for adults is $8. For other admission fees, check the website. There is also a fee for tasting wines. Check the Grapefest Festival website for more details.

The 25th Grapefest in Texas has so much to offer that one should be sure to attend if possible.

Grapevine, Texas is a quaint town with numerous wineries. Enjoy shopping in some of the small shops for unique items.

Cheers! Kathy
