A new tasting room opening Thursday in Grapevine is selling wine, art and a pink glitter lemonade — all wrapped around bottle labels featuring rebellious housewives. Housewife Rebellion, owned by Dallas artist Nicole Heere, is set to open its first tasting room at 211 E. Worth St., inside an 1880s Victorian house just blocks from Main Street.
The opening is timed to coincide with the first day of Grapevine's four-day GrapeFest, running Thursday through Sunday, according to Grapevine Texas USA. The tasting room takes over a house that once held Homestead Winery, as Community Impact reports, describing the 1888 structure Heere is transforming into part tasting room, part gallery.
Heere considered a wine shop in McKinney before settling on Grapevine's Urban Wine Trail, according to reporting from The Dallas Morning News. Her first pick was McKinney, but that location fell through over renovations needed to meet city code, the same reporting notes.
From Art Show Prank to Full-Blown Winery
The idea traces back to 2014, when Heere painted a housewife wearing yellow dish gloves and flipping the bird — the start of what The Dallas Morning News describes as a series of pop-art oil paintings depicting rebel women performing household tasks. That single character eventually grew into multiple figures, per the same reporting.
In 2022, Heere pasted her housewife artwork onto wine bottles as part of an art show display, and people started trying to buy the wine instead of the art, the Dallas paper reports. Southlake Style corroborates that Heere designed labels featuring her artwork and placed them on wine bottles as part of that 2022 art-show display. She officially launched the wine label in April 2024, according to Community Impact.
Heere worked with two winemakers in Kerrville and Lubbock, The Dallas Morning News reports. The wines are described as featuring grapes from the Texas High Plains, per that reporting — though sourcing varies elsewhere: Grapevine Texas USA states the Pinot Grigio and Rebel Rosé are made with grapes from the Texas High Plains, while Southlake Style says Heere's wines are produced in the Texas Hill Country, calling the Pinot Grigio her most awarded.
A Blind Taste Test at the School Gate
Heere has said the wine and art industries can intimidate consumers, according to The Dallas Morning News. To prove the point, she held a blind tasting for kindergarten parents from her daughter's school — and those parents picked her wine over celebrity-backed brands, the outlet reports.
The bet paid off in competition, too. Housewife Rebellion bottles have won four People's Choice awards at GrapeFest over two years, per the Dallas paper's reporting. Grapevine Texas USA specifies that the Pinot Grigio and Rebel Rosé both earned Gold at the 2025 People's Choice Wine Tasting Classic.
Pink Glitter Lemonade and a Frida Kahlo Bathroom
Inside, the shop is decorated in mauve and pastel pink, with bathrooms honoring artists Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe, according to The Dallas Morning News. The tasting room offers wine, flights and charcuterie, per Community Impact's separate report on the venue's menu.
The signature non-alcoholic option is a pink lemonade made with edible glitter, created by Heere's 9-year-old daughter, Mina, who also designed the labels for the drink, according to The Dallas Morning News. Southlake Style similarly credits Mina with inventing the glitter lemonade recipe.
Heere describes Housewife Rebellion as a sports-free zone built to challenge how the wine and art industries treat everyday consumers. Beyond the tasting room, the business plans a rentable event space called the Rebel Room, according to Community Impact, and Heere has said she may host Real Housewives watch parties and Moms' Day Out events, per Grapevine Texas USA.
Part of a Bigger Pour
Housewife Rebellion joins Grapevine's Urban Wine Trail, which includes wine tasting rooms, according to the city. Grapevine has nine winery tasting rooms, part of a statewide wine industry.
For now, Housewife Rebellion is listed as open Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the Housewife Rebellion website. Walk-ins are welcome, and the site recommends reservations for larger groups.
