Looking for fresh grapes

[jjw129]

I have been using juice to make wine for the past few years and now I am ready to move to fresh grapes. As it is that time of the year, where do you all get your grapes from? Or how do you find a vineyard that sells grapes? I am in Colorado Springs but am happy to purchase and have them shipped.

I live in the Metro NYC area and there's a bunch of companies/individuals who import pallets of grapes from California. You might try asking around at some local grocery stores, especially Italian owned ones. You may find someone to point you in the right direction. Or look around for local home brew stores. Where do you get your juice from? They may be able to source grapes. You could also cold call some local vineyards and see is they or anyone they know will sell.

I searched on "grape distributor colorado" and got this:

There are many locations listed across the USA, so others may find it useful.

You do not say how much wine you are planning to make. If it is 10 gallons or less, frozen grapes work fine for making wine and there are many options

We decided to buy fresh grapes from https://www.baywinebrokers.com/shop/ We need practice before our vines start producing enough for our needs.
