GRAPEVINE, TEXAS (March 23, 2018) – Enjoy wine, fine art and more at Grapevine’s 26th Annual New Vintage Wine and Gallery Trail & Blessing of the Vines, sponsored by Audi Grapevine, on Saturday, April 14. With tradition and flair, Grapevine savors new release wines, beautiful works of art and good times with friends.
ALL NEW FOR 2018: Begin the day at the base of the Grapevine Glockenspiel Clock Tower, at the corner of Main and Hudgins Streets, for the Blessing of the Vines. Dignitaries and guests will experience a centuries-old European blessing of Texas-grown vines performed by Father Ken Robinson, ensuring a bountiful Texas harvest. After the blessing, enjoy live entertainment as well as a complimentary wine tasting, cheese, and bread. Guests will receive their very own dormant, nursery-grown Champanel grapevine (one per family) to take home. After the Blessing, Grapevine’s newest piece of public art, “Seasons,” will be dedicated. “Seasons” is sculpted by Linda Lewis Roark of Grapevine Foundry and depicts the four seasons of a grapevine. The Blessing of the Vines event begins at 10 a.m. and is free for all ages.
