Can you grow a grape vine in a pot?

Grapes can be grown in containers but it’s best to choose a small variety. Our ‘Pixie™’ varieties are ideal as they are a compact variety. Try ‘Pixie™ Pinot Noir’, ‘Pixie™ Cabernet Franc’, ‘Pixie™ Riesling’, or our collection, which will give you the whole range.

Which grape vines have the best flavour?

One of the best for eating straight from the vine is ‘Chasselas Doré’, which has very sweet yellow-green fruits.

Which grape varieties are best for making juice and wine?

For a juice or wine with a hint of strawberry, try ‘Fragola’. ‘Bacchus’ is one of the best outdoor wine varieties for growing in the UK. Among the red varieties, ‘Cabernet’ is excellent for wine and makes a lovely juice when sweetened.
