Australia is known for its world-class produce, and when it comes to fruit, timing is everything. Eating with the seasons means enjoying better flavour, peak freshness, and the natural rhythm of nature’s harvest.
At Lazzara Fruits, we’re proud to grow, pack and export premium table grapes straight from our family-run vineyard in Robinvale, Victoria. While our own season kicks off in summer, we’re passionate about helping people understand fruits in season Australia wide — and how we deliver freshness across the globe, even after harvest.
Why Focus on Seasonal Fruit?
Choosing fruits in season Australia offers plenty of benefits:
-
You get better flavour and quality
-
Fruit is harvested closer to its natural ripeness
-
It helps you discover what Australian growers are producing at different times of the year
-
It supports innovation in how we grow, pack and deliver produce at its peak
Eating seasonally doesn’t have to mean only buying local — especially when growers like us are committed to keeping fruit fresh for domestic and international customers alike.

How We Keep Our Grapes Fresh for the World
Supplying both domestic and international markets means we take extra care in how our fruit is harvested, stored and shipped.
Here’s how we make it happen:
✅ Picked and cooled fast: Grapes are cooled immediately after harvest in high-humidity cool rooms to lock in freshness.
✅ Smart storage: Our computer-monitored systems ensure every bunch stays at the ideal temperature.
✅ On-site inspections: As a DAFF-accredited farm, we inspect and load fruit straight into containers at our own facility — reducing handling and maintaining cold chain integrity.
✅ Traceability: Every box of grapes can be traced back to the picker, patch, and packing date.
✅ Global certifications: We’re proudly certified by Global GAP, HARPS, Sedex and Fair Farms, meeting strict international quality standards.
Our goal? To make sure every box of Lazzara grapes arrives looking and tasting just as fresh as the day it was picked — no matter where in the world it lands.
