2025 Pick-Your-Own Season

The pick-your-own season will open on Labor Day Weekend (Aug. 30 – Sept. 1) from 10AM to 5PM. After that, we will be open every Friday to Sunday from 10AM to 5PM until the grapes run out (usually mid-late October). The first weekend (Aug 30-Sept. 1), the most plentiful grapes will be Ison (red/black Muscadine) and Tara (white Muscadine). We’ll have more varities and picking will get easier in a couple more weekends.
