Why Utah winemakers buy California fruit
Two days straight down I-80 makes Utah one of the best non-California states for fresh fruit. Note that Utah's alcohol statutes govern home production limits — worth confirming your household allowance before ordering volume.
Locally, Utah plantings run to small plantings near moab and in the southwest corner. 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 Utah?
Fresh grapes
At 2 business days out of Livermore, Utah 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 Utah 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. Salt Lake City 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.
Utah shipping questions
How long does it take to ship wine grapes to Utah?
2 business days from our Livermore, California dock, routed i-80 east over the sierra. 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 Utah?
Fresh clusters are the better choice in Utah. At 2 business days the fruit arrives in close to vineyard condition, so you get whole-cluster options and full control over crush.
Do you deliver to Salt Lake City, Provo, West Valley City?
Yes. We deliver refrigerated freight anywhere in Utah, including Salt Lake City, Provo, West Valley City, Ogden, St. George and rural addresses. Residential deliveries are scheduled with a call-ahead from the carrier.
