5. Important Notes for a More Complete Ninh Thuan Grape Farm Tour

To have a smooth and meaningful Ninh Thuan grape farm tour, please note the following:

  • Do not pick grapes without permission: Respect the vineyard’s regulations and use the scissors provided by the farm owner if you want to cut grapes. Picking grapes without permission can damage the grape branches and affect the vineyard’s yield.
  • Do not cut unripe grapes: Grapes ripen in batches, prioritize cutting ripe bunches to ensure the best flavor and leave unripe bunches for later visitors.
  • Grapes will be sweeter after a while: This is a little-known tip. After being cut from the vine, grapes continue the sugar conversion process, so leaving grapes for a while will allow you to feel a richer sweetness.
  • Properly store fresh grapes: If you buy fresh grapes as gifts, you should store them in the refrigerator’s crisper drawer and use them within 7 days to ensure freshness. Store grapes in a sealed box or plastic bag to prevent dehydration.
  • How to choose delicious grapes: Choose bunches of grapes that are about 85-90% ripe red, with plump, juicy fruits and a natural white powdery coating. Avoid choosing bunches of grapes that are still green or bruised.

Further explanation of the notes:

  • Why shouldn’t you pick grapes without permission? This action is not only impolite but can also harm the grapevines, affecting their future growth and fruit production.
  • Why do grapes get sweeter after a while? After harvesting, the respiration and sugar conversion process in the grapes still take place. This process helps to concentrate the sugar in the grapes, increasing the natural sweetness of the fruit.
  • How to preserve fresh grapes for longer? Low temperatures in the refrigerator help slow down the ripening process and keep grapes fresh for longer. Storing them in a sealed container helps prevent grapes from being exposed to dry air, preventing dehydration and wrinkling.
