Party Bus Grapevine TX

Grapevine Party Bus Rental — Your Complete Guide

Grapevine calls itself the "Christmas Capital of Texas," and during the holiday season it absolutely earns the title — with over 1,400 events packed into 40 days of celebration. But this charming city of 54,000, located 24 miles northwest of Dallas near the shores of Lake Grapevine, is a year-round destination that punches far above its population. Historic Main Street is lined with more than 10 wine tasting rooms, boutique shops, and restaurants in restored 19th-century buildings. The Gaylord Texan Resort is one of the largest convention and family resorts in the Southwest. And the Grapevine Vintage Railroad offers scenic train rides that connect to the Fort Worth Stockyards.

A Grapevine party bus is the ideal way to experience this unique city, especially for wine-tasting groups. With 10+ tasting rooms within walking distance on Main Street, Grapevine is essentially DFW's answer to wine country — and a party bus gets your group there safely and brings everyone home without a designated driver. Add in proximity to DFW Airport (just minutes away), easy connections to Irving, Dallas, and Fort Worth, and family-friendly attractions like Great Wolf Lodge and LEGOLAND Discovery Center, and Grapevine is a remarkably versatile party bus destination.

Insider Tips from Our Grapevine Drivers

• Main Street pickup: Have your group meet at the gazebo near the Cotton Belt Depot — it's the widest point on Main Street and gives the party bus room to pull through without blocking traffic.

• Hidden gem: Nash Farm off Main Street is a working 1860s homestead with gorgeous grounds — perfect for group photos in a setting that's uniquely Grapevine.
• Seasonal advantage: Grapevine goes all-out for Christmas (GrapeFest, Christmas Capital of Texas). Holiday season party bus tours through the light displays are a magical group experience — book early as December fills fast.
