Grape is a fruit that grows wild in Summer and is farmed on a trellis in Fall. In Summer it turns up as forage around the Mountain and the Backwoods, and Summer Seeds can grow it too. In Fall, a Grape Starter becomes a vine that fruits every few days until winter. That fast regrowth makes Grape one of the best Fall crops for profit per day, and the classic fruit for wine. Vincent loves Grapes, while Penny hates them.

Growing

The Fall crop grows from a Grape Starter on a trellis. It goes through five stages before its first bunch, then regrows a new one every three days. The same vine keeps producing for the rest of Fall.

A Grape Starter planted on the first of Fall gives six harvests before winter. A seventh harvest would land just after the season ends, so the first day of Fall matters.

The vine stands on a trellis, and the farmer cannot walk through it at any stage. Plan a field with walking lanes between the rows. Dead vines can be walked through once the season is over.

Pierre's General Store sells Grape Starters in Fall. JojaMart sells them at a higher price. A Seed Maker turns harvested Grapes into more starters.

Only the first growth of the vine gets shorter with Speed-Gro or the Agriculturist profession. Deluxe Fertilizer is the only way to grow iridium Grapes.

In Summer, Grapes grow wild. They are common forage on the Mountain and in the Backwoods, and they also appear at the Bus Stop and along the Railroad. Summer Seeds, crafted from wild Summer forage, can grow into Grapes as well.

Prices

A single Grape Starter costs little and returns several times its price over one Fall. Among the usual Fall crops, only Cranberries and Pumpkin keep pace with it for profit per day.

Grapes grown from a Grape Starter gain the Tiller profession bonus, as every farm crop does. Foraged Summer Grapes do not. Mixing the two kinds in one stack gives the whole stack the Tiller bonus.

Wine is the usual way to use Grapes. A Keg turns each bunch into wine worth three times the fruit. The Artisan profession adds another forty percent. Jelly from a Preserves Jar is worth less but finishes much sooner.

The Dehydrator turns five Grapes into Raisins by the next day. Per Grape, a Keg earns more, but the Dehydrator handles five at once in a single day. It suits an early farm with only a few Kegs.

Sell prices by quality, with the bonus from each profession.

Uses

A Grape is one of the items for the Summer Foraging Bundle in the Crafts Room. Foraged Grapes from the Mountain cover it in the first Summer.

The Wild Seeds (Su) recipe combines a Spice Berry, a Grape and a Sweet Pea into a pack of Summer Seeds. The recipe unlocks at Foraging level 4.

Grapes may appear as a Summer request on the Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store. The reward is three times the fruit's value plus friendship with the villager who asked.

In tailoring, Grapes in the Sewing Machine with Cloth make dyeable Shorts. They also work as a purple dye in the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts

Vincent loves Grapes. Foraged Summer Grapes make an easy, free loved gift for him.

The older villagers Demetrius, Jodi, Kent, Linus and Pam like Grape. Robin and Sandy also like them. So do Elliott, Harvey, Leah and Shane.

Abigail, Haley and Jas dislike them. Penny hates them, so keep Grapes away from her.

Among those who feel neutral about Grape are Alex, Emily, Maru, Sam and Sebastian. Caroline, Evelyn, George and Lewis share that view, and so does Leo. The same goes for Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre and Willy. The Dwarf, Krobus and the Wizard feel neutral about it too.

These villagers love receiving Grape as a gift.

Notes

Pick up wild Grapes on Summer trips to the Mountain and the Backwoods. They cover the Summer Foraging Bundle and give a stock of gifts for Vincent.

Leave a one-tile path between every row of trellis vines. A field without paths traps the farmer and leaves some vines out of reach.
