The upscale but unpretentious 120-room boutique Hotel Vin, Autograph Collection, is an elegant and approachable hotel at the edge of historic downtown Grapevine, Texas. Grapevine is known as a prominent wine-producing region, and home to the largest wine festival in Texas — GrapeFest® — and the hotel encompasses this aura in a classic, discreet (but not unnoticed) way. It’s a wine lover’s dream hotel.
It’s aptly named Hotel “Vin” as it’s an Autograph Collection hotel, a brand famously known for paying homage to their locations by emitting luxurious feelings and distinctive personalities. Hotel Vin’s signature touch is its robust wine offerings, including local, national, and international wines at its restaurant, decor, and a lineup of wine-centric programming on-site.
Hotel Vin sits just steps from Main Street and adjacent to the new TEXRail line, which connects DFW International Airport to downtown Fort Worth — making it an ideal place to set a home base on a trip to Grapevine. While visiting the property, I didn’t need a car because the 15-minute railway ride from the airport was a seamless way to get around — and the hotel is walkable from town.

At the front desk, guests can grab complimentary wine each evening, and it’s high-quality stuff, which I appreciated. As a Marriott Bonvoy member, I was entitled to another glass of complimentary wine at the bar with a gifted token upon check-in (even though it was considered the “house” wine, the Food and Beverage Director, Kalyana Krishnamoorthyd, did not skimp out on hosting guests with the best).
There’s also an exclusive wine club downstairs at CaveSociety. It’s a members-only wine cave destination hidden in the depths below the bustle of the hotel above, catering to wine aficionados with a world-class wine selection in an intimate setting. Club members will gain exclusive access to limited production and highly-rated wine varietals. It’s an ideal opportunity for those seeking a community of similar-minded wine lovers who share a passion for trying new wines, learning about winemaking and viticulture, and learning the stories behind each bottle.
We hope you love the Hotel Vin! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

Visitors won’t go hungry at Hotel Vin. The property is attached to Harvest Hall, a bustling European-style food hall serving up nearly a dozen different types of food and drink including a stellar coffee shop, a noodle shop, gourmet sliders, and Latin cuisine, among other choices. It’s an easy, casual, and quick spot to grab a tasty bite.
