Interlaken

Earliest Green/Gold sweet seedless French Hybrid. Ripe in August. Up to 25% sugar. Raisins! Fresh in salad, frozen ice pop beads. A smaller tight cluster grape that you can eat like an apple-biting into the cluster. Not flavorful enough for jam or juice but the the best early reliable grape we grow in the coolest of sites.

Jupiter

Next to ripen in the order. A curious blend of Muscat grape and French/American. Nice bouquet in a large, red loose-cluster bunch grape that proves seedless and free of disease-even late into the fall rains. A strong plant.

Reliance

Reliance is a beauty. Mild and sweet, lower sugar for those with blood sugar concerns, very juicy, mid to late September, and it’s super productive. We have one that threaded itself into our greenhouse cover, hotter, and it ripens a month earlier.

Einset

This grape sports a strawberry-like flavor. Red, loose bunch, disease free. Sweet and juicy, a favorite here at Skipley Farm. I think it’s my favorite.

Canadice

This grape has large clusters of a larger round fruit. Pink-Red, mild flavor, goes good with cheese, fruit salad.

Dornfelder

Mars-Dark, almost black, loose cluster

Venus- another blue grape, varies in quality here.

Glenora-most complex of flavors, dark blue

Delight- crispiest of the green>golden grapes, very late, huge clusters.
