Where to Buy Cotton Candy Grapes in 2018?

The wait is over. Welcome to the 2018 California Cotton Candy Grape Season presented to you by the good people at Grapery.

(If it is not the 2018 season, make sure to check out our post on When Are Cotton Candy Grapes in Season to learn when they might be available next)

This is the MUST HAVE fruit of the season. Or of the year.

Never before I have seen people get so excited about fruit. Of course they should be. We are talking grapes that taste like Cotton Candy. What is not to love.

Each and every year here at Eat Like No One Else we love to help you find Cotton Candy grapes in your area. So we create a list of stores that are expected to carry them. Not only that, but we give you some information on the 2018 season.

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.

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.

If you found them in a store not listed, please let us know in the comment section below. Also leave a comment if you need help finding them.
