Cross Timbers Winery

Not a fan. They refused to clean the flower beds and sidewalks from weeds for our wedding. The food was low end, but the kicker was I paid their recommended bartender for beer to be served and they of course pushed their own wine, (which isn’t bottled there nor is there a vineyard they simply pay for a label with their name on it). The worst part is they was opening bottle after bottle without emptying what they had open and when I protested they stopped serving the beer I brought and of course I was still paying for the bartender. I asked again to see the event rules they called the police. I later found out my groom had already paid the bar tender and I did also; when I asked for that amount to be refunded they said that was a tip.

Best atmosphere of all the winery’s in Grapevine. Top 3 wine as well. If you are coming to grapevine for tastings this is a must stop!

My wedding here was perfect! My husband and I fell in love with the property when we first visited a year ago and we booked on the spot. Then I found some unflattering older wedding reviews online and started getting nervous as our big day got closer. However, the staff was very accommodating and friendly– they always promptly answered emails/​phone calls, the wedding coordinator Alyssa went through all the final details with us the week before, and the owner coordinated timing between the dj and photographer the day of the ceremony. They even waited until the last minute to put chairs on the lawn for my guests to sit during the ceremony because the grass was soaked from rain the night before. Luckily there was enough sun and time for the ground to dry and my outdoor ceremony was exactly what I envisioned! None of the sketchy things from previous reviews happened. Cross Timbers Winery was the perfect venue for our special day!

The husband and I will drink about anything, but prefer to sip red on red wine. We parked ourselves outside on their patio and relaxed with the free cheese and crackers. Then decided on our wine tasting. We really enjoyed not being rushed and having the opportunity to slowly sip on our tasting. The wine was average, but the atmosphere and service was perfect. A repeat stop!

In my opinion, this winery had the best wine tasting in Grapevine.
They’re well worth the walk down from Main Street.
The house where the tasting takes place is beautiful and the patio is welcoming.
The staff is great and very attentive.
There are 2 tasting options — 4 tastings of 1 oz. each for $ 5 or 5 tastings of 1 oz. each with a souvenir wine glass for $ 10.
My husband & I chose the 4 tasting option (because we were afraid wine glasses wouldn’t survive the plane flight home).
There was a great selection of wines to choose from. I got delicious sweet whites & blush wine, while my husband sampled reds.
They also offered a complementary cheese & crackers plate!
I highly recommend stopping by Cross Timbers on your visit to Grapevine, Texas.

This winery is on the far north of the Main St. district in Grapevine. It is in an old renovated cabin. Great ambiance! Very authentic, rustic feel.
We have gone only for wine tastings – $ 5 per 4 sample glass tastings. Includes complimentary cheese and crackers (simple but tasty cheddar and ritz, I believe). However, their wines are mostly all Texas, very tasty, and varied. No weird-​flavored or overbearing wines.
The wait-​staff/​barista/​bartenders are always cheery and helpful, without being push about moving you through. We’ve been to 4 wineries in Grapevine for tastings, this is our favorite so far (3 more wineries to go!)

My first foray into Grapevine wineries was a success with this little treasure. My friend and I were trying to decide which one to visit, then we read about this one… located in a historic building and haunted by a ghost. Who could say no to that!
We had a lovely wine tasting: $ 5 without a glass or $ 10 with a glass… and it came with free cheese and crackers. The wine wasn’t bad — nothing that stands out, but also nothing that I disliked. The setting was lovely and we had the place all to ourselves, because we were there Friday afternoon.
The woman working gave us an overview of the wines, along with ghost stories and a history of the building… exactly what we’d hoped for.

This was our last stop on our wine weekend. I am so glad that we decided to try Cross Timbers. What a beautiful location with delicious wines. The server was very knowledgeable about the different wines and provided a lot of good information. She explained that the owner made sure that each wine had the best quality of grapes. If those grapes were not of good enough quality, they might not make a certain wine for the season. That is why they no longer offer a Merlot.
For $ 5 we received 4 one ounce pours. There was also the option of $ 10 for 5 one ounce pours with a free wine glass to take home. I was expecting the glass to be one of the tasting glasses, BUT it ended up being HUGE. Next time we stop by my husband and I will definitely get a glass.
We ended up purchasing the Chenin Blanc bottle. I can’t wait to open it up :)

Too busy for one Pourer/​server! On a Saturday. Liked several of the wines but took home a bottle of Viognier.

Went as part of a corporate group for a wine tasting. We sat outside in their nice covered area just outside the main house. The vineyard is not there, they did not go into details about where or how their wine is made, but it was decent wine.
They do a lot of special events here and have a nice barn area and outdoor space. There is an old house on site that was for the family that lived there for many years raising a lot of kids (can’t remember but it was like 7 – 10 kids), it is a tiny two bedroom house — yikes. Our guide told us it is haunted.
If you are in the area and looking for something to do this is a fun way to fill a couple of hours. Enjoy!

Love, love, love this little winery. There’s an awesome old historic building where you can taste the wines and then an amazing huge patio that you can relax on and enjoy the afternoon. We love going on the weekends (though they can be pretty busy then). And the owner is a true Texas gentlemen. Also, they apparently do weddings as well, because they had several rows of white chairs set up by the gazebo. It looks like a lovely place to have wedding. We will definitely be back.

Wicked cute old house, decent wine and fun ghost stories. Such a fun stop on the Grapevine wine tour!

We ran across Cross Timbers Winery last weekend while on our Wine Tasting tour we did with our friends in Grapevine. This winery is around 10 years old. They don’t have an actual vineyard onsite nor do they do any of the actual wine production in Grapevine, TX. They claim to have affiliate locations in Central America, Europe, and in Texas where they actually produce their wines.
When you walk in the door, the place is quite small actually. You see little kids playing in the room on your right and on the left is the bar with the stack of various wine bottles. They offer $ 5 Wine Tastings here which you can’t really beat. You get to pick any 4 out of 10 – 12 selections they have on their counter. I personally enjoyed their Cab and Merlot. They have some cheese and crackers as well.
What I did find interesting here is that they also sell a homemade barbecue sauce for around $ 4. It comes in 2 flavors — Regular and Spicy. Even the regular one has a kick to it so I am sure the spicy one will not disappoint one.
Their service is good and they are very friendly, but overall I rate this winery 3 stars purely because the ambiance is a bit dull and I didn’t really get to taste or learn much about their specialties since I ended up just selecting my own choice of wines for wine tasting instead of them introducing me to wines they recommend based on their knowledge of their own wines.

This weekend we decided to take the Grapevine wine tour. Our first visit was Cross Timbers Winery. The winery is located at a dead end off Main st. in Grapevine. Upon our arrival we were greeted my a lady who basically told us to park in the back and leave the open spots in the front empty, not sure who else they were expecting. I went it with an open mind about Texas wine tasting. No, I’m not that much of a wine snob but I know what I like and many regional wines area little subpar. This winery just didn’t live up to any expectations. In fact I’m glad this was our visit because we got out the worst one out of the way. The wine pours were the minuscule compare to everyone else. They were not helpful or knowledgeable of any of their products. I don’t think I’ll be coming back to this winery.

cute little place, we had a catered event there. the property is not some huge vineyard like you would see in California, but it’s cozy, and has a few small buildings on site. It’s charming, and the hosts are friendly.

Just my luck. Last month, I hit the wine trail in the Texas Hill Country outside of Austin determined to purchase my first bottle of Texas wine. I was ecstatic to find a great bottle of pinot noir from Texas. When I got home and actually read the label on my newly purchased bottle of Texas wine, I found out it was from Paso Robles, CA! So what do I do? I decided to head out to Grapevine on Saturday to get me a bottle of Texas wine.
First off, I was surprised how close Grapevine wineries were to Dallas — a short 20 minute car ride later I was seated comfortably at Cross Timbers sipping some local wine. Cross Timbers is definitely one of the coziest, friendliest wineries I’ve ever been to. The tasting room is in one of the oldest standing structures in Grapevine. Looking around, you’ll be amused by all the original touches that still remain. Walking in on a wet Saturday afternoon, I felt like a high plains drifter moseying into a saloon from yesteryear. There is a small 4 seat bar, two high tables, and one or two other rooms with chairs to seat your party. In all, I’d say it probably can fit 20 or so people indoors and another 25 people on the patio.
Four one ounce tastings are $ 5, which is a great deal. The guy working the counter was immensely helpful at recommending great wines. Even though he was working alone most of the time we were there, he checked in on us to make sure we were ok as large groups made their way through. Every group also got a small chopping board heaped with blocks of cheddar cheese and crackers. I think I fell in love with their hospitality right then and there.
Cross Timbers features 6 or so wines under their own label, but they also offer tastings from about 6 other labels — one from their sister property in Mexico (oldest vineyard in the Americas) and another in Austria. My tasting notes? Texas wines, even reds, seem to be a bit sweeter than California reds. I also liked the Cross Timbers Viognier — perfect for entertaining in warmer weather.
Cross Timbers is a bit different from the other wineries in Grapevine. But I love the unique character of the place and the über-​friendly service. This is perfect for smaller groups if you’re hitting the Grapevine wine trail. It’s also a 2 minute drive to other wineries in downtown Grapevine so you can keep the party going!
