Cotton Candy Grape Confusion

Before we get into where to find the grapes this year, I need to clear up some confusion. People have been told that the season is already over for Cotton Candy grapes. That is not true, unless you are reading this in October, sorry you missed it. Each year now we are seeing more and more Cotton Candy grapes from Mexico. They arrive in June and last until maybe around mid July.

At this point grocery store employees are telling their customers the season is done. That is simply not true. A lot of the workers don’t realize there is a supply coming from California in August. Also there are some in the winter months as well coming from places like Chile and Brazil – although I have not found the quality to be good with those.

Cotton Candy Grape Season 2018

I do have a wee bit of bad news. The actual size of this year’s Cotton Candy grape crop is actually down from last year. You should still be able to find them but they wouldn’t be quite as plentiful. The good news is that in 2019, a new vineyard of Cotton Candy grapes will come into production and supplies will go up again.

Did You Know?

Did you know that Cotton Candy grapes go by the name of Candy Floss grapes in the UK?

Where to Buy Grapery Cotton Candy Grapes

The following is a store listing of stores that have carried Cotton Candy grapes or other Grapery grapes (like Moon Drops and Gum Drops) in the past. These are your best chances for grape finding success. Some of the biggest supporters of Cotton Candy grapes are Wegmans, Sprouts , Sam’s Club, Whole Foods Market, Publix, and the Fresh Market. Kroger has become a big Cotton Candy player now as well. If you got one of these stores nearby there is where I would start.

This list is meant to be for Cotton Candy grapes from Grapery. It doesn’t include grapes from other growers.

If I hear a store has got them, I will try to add them to the list under the confirmed heading. Keep in mind, stores often sell out – because they are that good. And they may not have a constant supply. Its best to call ahead of you are making a long trip.
