  1. 3 Things to Know About Growing Grapes in Oklahoma Learning how to grow grapes correctly is essential to producing quality wines. As such, growing grapes in Oklahoma takes knowledge, time, and a great deal of dedication. Whether you are beginning your own vineyard or looking to produce delicious wine, here are three things you should keep in mind. 3 Tips for Growing Grapes to Make Oklahoma Grape Wine 1. Choose the Correct Grape Varieties Not every grape variety will grow well in your region. The type of grapes you use depends on the climate, type of soil, and slope of the land, so it is crucial to research your location. Many grape varieties flourish in Oklahoma. For red wines, consider the following varieties: Merlot ● Cabernet Sauvignon ● Tempranillo ● Syrah/Shiraz ● Zinfandel ● Several grape varieties that produce white Oklahoma grape wine will also do well in the Oklahoma weather, including: Riesling ● Muscat Blanc ● Chardonnay ● Vignoles ● Seyval Blanc ● 2. Be Patient The grape-growing process begins long before you will see the actual grapes. You must first prepare the land for planting by cultivating the soil, ridding it of weeds and pests, and marking your rows. Land preparation should begin around one year before you start planting. Patience is still needed once your vines begin growing, as grapes can only grow on at least one-year-old vines. Although growing grapes takes time, the delicious result makes it worth the wait. 3. Keep Up with Maintenance

  2. During every step of the grape-growing process, considerable maintenance is needed to ensure the grapes can grow successfully. Once you have planted your vines, keeping them watered and free of pests and weeds is crucial. Likewise, once you notice your vines growing, pruning your vines in the dormant season will ensure that new growth can develop. For guidance on how best to prune and maintain your vines, seek out resources from the experts at a local vineyard or Oklahoma winery.
