Raise a glass
For adults, summer begins on Historic Main Street. The Urban Wine Trail features nine award-winning winery tasting rooms, each offering its own personality and seasonal events.

When it’s time to explore, Historic Main Street beckons visitors to browse boutiques, art galleries, caf\u00e9s, and bistros while enjoying live music every day of the week.<\/p>\n

As evening arrives, patio hopping becomes the perfect summer pastime. Grab a craft beer at Hop & Sting Brewery near Main Street, cool off with a famous margarita at Esparza’s Restaurante Mexicano, or head to Harvest Hall for cocktails and live entertainment at Third Rail Bar.<\/p>\n

Looking for something more mysterious to end the night? Grapevine hides a few secrets and speakeasies. Slip through the phone booth entrance to Magnum at Hotel Vin, descend into Cave Society’s underground wine cave, or unwind with handcrafted cocktails beneath the Gaylord Texan Resort at Dusk.<\/p>\n
