Muscadines are a grape native to the southeastern United States, known for their unique flavor, sweet berries, and strong adaptation to the region’s hot, humid climate. Typically enjoyed fresh, they are also used for juice, jelly, and wine.

As temperatures drop and daylight fades, muscadine vines across North Florida enter their winter dormancy.
