Why Nevada winemakers buy California fruit
Reno is close enough that fruit can arrive the day after the pick, and Las Vegas is a comfortable two days. Nevada is one of the few states outside California where fresh clusters are the obvious default.
Locally, Nevada plantings run to small pahrump valley plantings. That is a different palette from what we grow — our fruit comes off Lodi, Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, and Sierra Foothills blocks, so you can make a varietally correct Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, or Petite Sirah without waiting on a vineyard that will never ripen it.
Fresh or frozen for Nevada?
Fresh grapes
At 2 business days out of Livermore, Nevada is inside the window where fresh clusters make obvious sense. Fruit is picked, field-sorted into ventilated lugs, gel-packed, and on a reefer the same day.

Frozen pails are still worth considering in Nevada if you would rather not build your calendar around a delivery appointment. They hold in a chest freezer for months and skip destemming and crushing entirely.

- Order early. Fresh fruit is allocated against actual pick dates between September and November. Reserve by late summer for the varieties you want.
- Watch the calendar, not the clock. Picks shift with Brix and weather, so your firm ship date is confirmed by email roughly ten days out.
- Group up. Las Vegas clubs and co-ops routinely consolidate into one freight shipment, which spreads the flat freight charge across everyone.
- Have your cellar ready. Fermenters sanitized, yeast and nutrients on hand, and cold space cleared before the truck arrives — especially on a 2-day lane.

How long does it take to ship wine grapes to Nevada?
2 business days from our Livermore, California dock, routed i-80 over donner pass, or i-15 to las vegas. We dispatch Monday through Wednesday so shipments are never held in a terminal over a weekend, and transit days exclude the pick date itself.
Should I order fresh grapes or frozen must in Nevada?
Fresh clusters are the better choice in Nevada. At 2 business days the fruit arrives in close to vineyard condition, so you get whole-cluster options and full control over crush.
