Grapevine Vintage Railroad is rolling into the 2025 season starting with the Sweetheart Wine Train.

All aboard! Take a ride back in time on Grapevine Vintage Railroad, where history and hospitality create lifetime memories for the entire family. Riders can climb aboard our 1920s-era coaches pulled by 1950s FL9 diesel locomotives. Children, adults and rail fans of all ages will be delighted by the onboard experiences reflective of early 20th-century rail travel.

The 2025 Season will kick off with the Sweetheart Wine Train on Valentine’s Day, Friday, February 14th. On this romantic ride, couples can enjoy two complimentary glasses of fine Texas wine in a souvenir glass, savory bites and a rose for the ladies. Make it a double date with a table for four, which includes a hot plated meal, three glasses of fine Texas wine in a souvenir wine glass and a red rose for the ladies.

Regular season excursions will follow on Saturday, February 15. Passengers can choose from a variety of regular excursions throughout the season:
