Grapevine is one of the best day trips in North Texas: historic Main Street, winery tasting rooms, the Gaylord Texan resort, and easy access to both Dallas and Fort Worth. It also sits almost on top of DFW Airport, which makes it a favorite home base for travelers. This guide covers getting between Dallas and Grapevine, the route options, event traffic around the Gaylord and the lake, and when a door-to-door Dallas shuttle simplifies the day.
