Loose Grapes Vineyard & McConnell/Eicher Ranch Established 1894 Family owned Lenoir (Black Spanish) vineyard. We provide grapes to friends and wineries in our area. We are not available for tours.

Our vines grow on a divided canopy trellis providing good airflow and sunshine to allow fruit to ripen to its full potential . We are a privately owned vineyard that typically sells to local wineries. You can drive by on our gravel road and see the grapes growing on the trellis.

Thursday evening update: Tonight was the best night for picking...we got down to 85ยฐ with a lovely breeze. It is just now starting to rain.

We met some more wonderful families and had some good conversations.

We expect to run out of grapes tomorrow morning...if you are wanting some plan to come early...we open at 7am.

Once again, we cannot thank you all enough for a successful harvest. We hope you enjoy your produce and have fun with whatever you make. Juice is our favorite. But, Bruce has had good luck with making a dry red the last two years.

We hope to see you again next year!

If you need assistance please drive over the second cattle guard up to the blue canopy tent.
Park right there and we can help with gators, wagons, carrying...we can drive you right up to the grapes and help you load them in the car. Whatever we can do to help. Our granddaughter Skylar was a fantastic runner for us yesterday. ๐Ÿฅฐ

CHANGE OF DATES...We are looking at the weather...we need rain but the grapes don't at this time of year...they'll explode and fruit flies will run amok...several people have called about picking earlier...so starting tomorrow evening Tuesday we will open the gates for picking.

Bruce wants ALL THE GRAPES PICKED he does not want to deal with the mess of HAULING THEM OFF. Which thanks to our gracious pickers and buyers we have not had to do. We hope to keep it that way...as an incentive ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ’œ

How about a GRAPE SPECIAL!!! YOUR FIRST 5 ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ‡GALLONS ARE JUST $1.00(per family)!!! Yep, you read that right. If you want more than the 5 gallons, then it's the regular price of $2.00 a gallon. SO just to clarify $1buck for your first 5 gallons and $2 bucks per gallon after that.

Please come and help us get rid of these grapes.

Tuesday evening 6-dark
Weds-Sunday 7am-noon and 6pm-dark Or until we run out. We will post updates daily on here...remember we do have just 1/2 the crop we normally have, so plan to come earlier rather than later so you don't miss out.

Please share and come pick...it's juice time!! ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ’œ

Thank you,
Bruce and Angela McConnell
