Vitis ‘Niagara’ is a cultivar of Vitis labrusca, developed over 150 years ago in Niagara County, New York. Niagara is known for its large, seedless, greenish-white berries with a sweet, tangy flavor and distinctive “foxy” aroma. It is commonly used for fresh consumption, grape juice, and winemaking.

This grape thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5 through 8, performing well in regions like the Northeast, Midwest, and parts of the Great Lakes. It also adapts to the Southeast in areas like Tennessee and Virginia. Niagara vines grow to about 15 to 20 feet and ripen in late summer to early fall. With its vigorous growth, disease resistance, ‘Niagara’ remains a favorite among both commercial growers and home gardeners.
