Grapevine Texas: Heritage Heroes

This replay is part of the 2025 Virtual Travel Showcase. Brian Hilterbrandt of Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau joined us for a sensory-rich journey through the heart of Texas. With 30 years in hospitality and a fresh perspective from his new role, Brian brings energy and insight to this historic destination just minutes from Dallas–Fort Worth.

Discover a Main Street lined with wine tasting rooms, live music venues, and legendary eats—from Texas chili and fried avocados to the state’s top-selling margaritas. Your clients can ride vintage railcars to the Stockyards, stroll a working 19th-century farm, or explore immersive art at Meow Wolf. With seasonal festivals like GrapeFest and the Christmas Capital of Texas, plus a variety of lodging and custom tour options, Grapevine offers an unforgettable blend of history, hospitality, and fun.
