2026 Pick-Your-Own Season
This is the last weekend of pick-your-own. We will be open from Friday thru Sunday from from 10AM to 5PM each day (last entry at 4:30PM), with Sunday, October 4 as the last day of the 2026 pick-your-own season.
10/1/26 Pick-Your-Own Update
Due to a hot, dry summer, pick-your-own will be wrapping up early this year. Sunday, October 4, will be the last day of the season.
Currently, our smaller varieties in white/gold (Scuppernong, Magnolia, Carlos) and black/red (Hunt, Noble) are the best for picking. These varieties are especially good for juice, wine, and jelly makers, but they are also delicious as fresh fruit.
We also have muscadine juice, jellies, fresh Asian persimmons, and fresh figs available for sale at our pick-your-own stand (while supplies last).
Information About Pick-Your-Own Muscadine Grapes
- Our pick-your-own is done in pre-paid gallon buckets ($14/gal). Please purchase a bucket before you begin picking.
- We are open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10AM – 5PM. Please ensure you arrive with sufficient time to pick, as the vineyard closes promptly at 5PM (last entry at 4:30PM).
- Harvest months are often hot, so bring water, a hat, and sunscreen.
- Muscadine grapes ripen individually and must be picked by hand one at a time. No scissors or pruners, please!
- We accept cash, credit, and debit card.
- CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES.
- If you plan to pick in bulk (100 lb. or more), please contact us in advance about bulk pricing and timing to pick for wine, jelly, and jam production.
- To ensure your pet’s safety and the comfort of all our guests, pets are not permitted on the premises (except working dogs).
- Because we do not use pesticides, there can be insects (ex. bees, spiders) in the vines. You may want to wear gloves.
