Going to Nakazakicho feels like stepping through the Narnian cupboard into a different world. Exploring the maze of lanes reveals vine-draped cafes, boutique restaurants, and a range of tiny, trendy businesses from yoga and tea shops, to galleries of handmade trinkets.

Glad to have helped.
Just for the record, as Phil said, vines can be other "vining" plants as well ("vining" means the way they grow, but NOT all "climbing" plants are "vines" either). However, in a café context I'd expect the vines to be grape vines. In a bar, hop vines (for beer) but if you have a word for "vines" then use it without having to specify the type.
"draped" has the meaning of not just "covered" but hanging down loosely in an attractive way. "Vines", especially in the context of cafés/restaurants/tavernas, USUALLY means grape vines (with bunches of grapes hanging down in season giving customers an impression that the café/restaurant is making its own wine! There is often an overhanging latticework (or even pergola) as well so the vines can drape attractively. Yes, there are other plants known as vines but in this context it's usually grapevines, which is also the main dictionary definition. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/vine
