Brianna Grape

The Brianna grape is a medium-large, all-purpose seeded grape variety perfect for table use, juice, or winemaking. With its slightly tropical, pineapple-like flavour, this grape adds a unique twist to any occasion.

Maturing in mid-September, the Brianna grape stands out for its excellent disease resistance and adaptability. Berries average 3 grams in weight and vines begin to produce around three years of age. Developed by the famed Elmer Swenson, it’s one of our top recommendations for growers who value flavour and reliability. Whether you're a backyard gardener or a vineyard enthusiast, Brianna is sure to impress!

Growers Note:

Lay the vines down on the ground in autumn before snowfall. Then cover with leaves and eventually snow as this provides insulation. This is a successful and recommended technique for cold-climate grape growing to protect vines from extreme cold. Grapes grow very vigorously on a warm south-facing side of a building and sheltered area.
