The Venus grape was bred in 1964 as a cross between the European wine grape Vitis vinifera (the 'Alden' variety) and the North American native Vitis labrusca (NY 46000) Because it is an American-European hybrid, it offers a highly distinct flavor profile that pairs the sweet, aromatic quality of Muscat grapes with the classic, bold labrusca character found in Concord grapes Historically, the Venus grape was highly significant because it proved that seedless table grapes with high-quality flavors and acceptable hardiness could successfully thrive in humid Southern and Eastern U.S. climates Please refer below for detailed information on the Venus grape vines for sale.
