Canadice Seedless Grape Vine

Canadice is the grape that does it all — snacking, salads, jelly, juice, and wine — in a sweet, firm, red seedless grape with a unique hint of spiciness that sets it apart from every other seedless variety. A Cornell University licensed variety known for bearing great crops even after hard winters, it ripens in mid-August with a generous picking window that extends through September. Cold hardy, self-pollinating, and easy to grow in Zones 5–8 — one of the most reliable and versatile red seedless grapes available for home gardens.

Sweet With a Unique Hint of Spice — The Canadice Difference

Most red seedless grapes are straightforwardly sweet. Canadice delivers that same sweetness with a subtle spicy note that makes its flavor noticeably more interesting and complex — the kind of distinctive character that makes people ask what kind of grape it is when they taste it. The firm, crisp texture and medium-sized berries are outstanding for fresh eating right off the vine, and the same distinctive flavor translates beautifully into jelly, juice, and wine.

Bears Great Crops Even After Hard Winters

Canadice’s cold hardiness is one of its most important practical qualities. While rated for Zones 5–8, it has a proven reputation for coming back and producing reliably even after difficult winters that would challenge less hardy varieties. For northern home gardeners who want a dependable red seedless grape that performs year after year regardless of winter severity, Canadice is the trusted choice.

Mid-August to September — A Generous Picking Window

Canadice ripens in mid-August and holds well on the vine through September — a generous harvest window that gives home growers flexibility rather than a narrow urgency window. The berries keep well on the vine without deteriorating quickly, making it forgiving for busy growers who can’t harvest at a single precise moment.
