West Coast Grapes Shipped Direct

Sorry, no, but if you give us more information on where you are, we may be able to help to find grapes. Many metropolitan areas have fruit distributors or wine supply shops that arrange for trailer loads of wine grapes to be shipped east.

Frank, Very few growers ship grapes in small quantities. Grapes are cheap, but shipping costs are high. The kinds of grapes that are shipped cost $0.10 to $0.20 a pound, but shipping a pound of anything east costs much more. The only economically feasible way is to ship by the car-load or truck-load. Check with the wholesale produce market in a large city. lum

Andy, Hi, my name is Patrick and I'm in a similar quandary as the below poster.

I lived in Syracuse, NY but now that I am near Atlanta, I cannot find a local produce shop or market carrying CA wine grapes for sale. I can buy from Lamanuzzi and Pantaleo but after calling nearly six different trucking companies I have struck out with delivery of the order. I have checked all the large wholesalers and retailers in the Farmer's Market. We used L&Pin Syracuse but they do not arrange shipment. Brehm apparently only ships "pails" which I believe I'm not interested in.

I am looking for approximately 20 lugs of different varieties but will consider an entire pallet (~42 lugs) if this is my only option.

Please let me know if you can help with my shipping/grape procurement issue!

Patrick - I suppose you've checked out local homebrew/winemaking shops in Atlanta. Here in KC one local shop trucks in tons of grapes and does the crush and tests.
