For wholesale buyers and importers, Australian white table grapes offer something genuinely useful: a long, staggered season that runs from January through to July — covering a window when fresh white grape supply from Northern Hemisphere markets is at its most limited.
Lazzara Fruits is a family-owned farm in Robinvale, Victoria, supplying both local and international markets with fresh Australian grapes. They grow eight white grape varieties across that full seasonal window, each with a different harvest timing and market suitability.
Here’s what buyers need to know about the varieties, the season, and how sourcing works.
Eight white grape varieties across the season
The eight white varieties grown by Lazzara Fruits cover the full January to July harvest window, with new varieties coming into supply as the season progresses.
The season opens in January with Menindee (January to February) and Ivory™ (January to March) — two varieties that give buyers early-season access to fresh white Australian grapes before most of the season’s volume arrives.
Sweet Globe™ (February to April) and Thompson (February to May) follow in the mid-season period. Thompson is one of the most widely traded white seedless grape varieties globally, recognised for its reliable supply and versatility across retail and foodservice channels.
As the season moves into autumn, Sugar Crisp™, Luisco and Pristine® all come into harvest from April through June, extending supply well into the cooler months.
Autumn King closes out the white variety season, harvested from April through to July — making it one of the latest white grape varieties available from Australian growers.
Why the Australian season matters for international buyers
The Australian table grape season runs counter to Northern Hemisphere production calendars. When fresh grape supply from Europe, the United States and South Africa is winding down or unavailable, Australian growers are at their peak.
For importers supplying retail and foodservice markets in Asia, the Middle East, the United Kingdom and other Northern Hemisphere destinations, this counter-seasonal supply is a practical sourcing advantage — access to fresh, field-grown fruit during a period when the alternative is either stored product or no supply at all.
Lazzara Fruits holds DAFF accreditation to export globally and maintains the infrastructure to support international supply, including high-humidity cool rooms for immediate post-harvest cooling, computer-monitored storage, and warehouse facilities with loading docks for container and trailer shipment. An effective traceability system tracks picking dates, packing details, farm locations and personnel across every consignment.
Sourcing Australian white grapes
Lazzara Fruits supplies both domestic wholesale and international export markets directly. They operate to HACCP accreditation and hold certifications including Global Gap, Harps, Sedex and Fair Farms.
For buyers looking to source Australian white table grapes, the season runs from January to July. Early conversations — ideally before the season begins — give buyers the best access to preferred varieties and allow time to plan logistics and volumes.
