TR AINING GUIDE
The Grapes from California season begins in late spring when the first grapes are harvested from vines in the
Coachella Valley, the states southernmost growing region. The warm desert climate helps ensure that fresh
grapes will appear in markets across the country around mid-May.
As the season in Coachella comes to a close in early July, harvest begins in the 200-mile-long San Joaquin
Valley and often continues into January.
Because of sophisticated storage technology, varieties of both seedless and seeded grapes from California
are available through January.
Receiving and Backroom Grape
Handling Tips
Maintain a consistent cold chain. Place grapes immediately in
refrigeration when received. The ideal condition for grapes
is 3032F with 9095 percent relative humidity.
Keep grapes away from water or ice, as moisture will decrease
their shelf life.
Gently stack grape boxes in the cooler so that air can circulate
around them. Dehydration of grapes will accelerate if they are
stored near the cooling units direct air path.
Bagged grapes:
If grapes are refrigerated, they can be displayed for up to 48 hours
before visible shrinkage occurs.
If grapes are not refrigerated, grapes can be displayed for up to
24 hours before visible shrinkage occurs.
