Grape Picking in Ohio

Grape Picking in Ohio typically happens during the summer. Ohio has a handful of places where you can pick your own grapes. Read on to find out about some places to pick grapes in Ohio.

About Grape Picking

Picking grapes can be a lot of fun but it is also a lot of work! Grape-picking season is typically late August to late September. When you arrive at the grape-picking location, check in with the business staff first. The staff can relay important information such as where to pick and where NOT to pick.

Generally, if you are picking table grapes, they are harvested in bunches, you will not be picking single grapes. You have to harvest table grapes with snippers. The grape vines are easily hurt and can be damaged during picking if you are not careful. If grape bunches are torn from the vine it can cause an infection of the vine. For table grape picking be sure to call ahead to see if you need to bring your own pointed-nose scissors or if the location provides them.

When heading out to pick grapes in Ohio, be sure to dress for success! We are talking about wearing comfortable shoes that can get dirty. Wear comfortable clothes that will protect you from the sun and clothes that are okay to get dirty or stained. We always recommend a big floppy hat for sun protection!
