Finger Lakes Teaching and Demonstration Vineyard Growth Stages 2015

Finger Lakes Grape Program
The Finger Lakes Teaching and Demonstration Vineyard, a partnership between the Finger Lakes Grape Program and Finger Lakes Community College, serves as a place for hands-on learning for students, growers, and the general public. It also provides us with an opportunity to compare an array of grape varieties planted side by side.
Here, you can see data on when each cultivar we have planted reached bud break, veraison, and harvest in the 2015 season.
