If you’re sourcing wholesale grapes in Australia, the quality of your supply comes down to one thing: who grew them.
Lazzara Fruits is a family-owned table grape farm in Victoria, growing more than 20 varieties across white, green, red and black categories. We supply wholesale buyers, distributors, retailers and exporters who need consistent, premium-quality fruit direct from the source.
Why source wholesale grapes directly from a grower?
When you buy through a middleman, you’re paying for layers of handling — and accepting that the fruit has changed hands more than once before it reaches you.
Sourcing directly from an Australian table grape grower means:
- Fresher fruit — less time between harvest and delivery
- Consistent quality — you know exactly where the grapes come from and how they were grown
- Better pricing — no distributor margin added on top
- Traceability — verified origin, certifications and growing practices on request
- Reliable supply — a direct relationship means you’re not competing for allocation at the last minute
For retailers, wholesalers and food service buyers, these factors aren’t just nice to have — they directly affect your margins and your customers’ experience.
What makes Australian table grapes stand out?
Australian table grapes are in demand domestically and across export markets including Asia, the Middle East and the UK — because of consistent quality, reliable food safety compliance, and a growing season that extends from November through May.
Key characteristics wholesale buyers look for:
- Seedless varieties — the majority of demand is for seedless, led by varieties like Sweet Globe™, Crimson, Thompson and Autumn King
- Seeded varieties — still in strong demand in export markets and ethnic retail; Red Globe remains consistently popular
- Consistent sizing and colour — uniformity across the crate is non-negotiable for premium buyers
- Post-harvest handling — how grapes are cooled, packed and stored after harvest directly affects shelf life and presentation on arrival
At Lazzara Fruits, our full variety range spans both seeded and seedless across multiple harvest windows — giving buyers access to broad selection from a single, traceable source.
Grape season in Australia: when to plan your orders
The main harvest window runs from approximately November through to April or May, depending on variety. Planning your orders before the season starts — not once it’s underway — gives you the best access to preferred varieties and volumes.
- Early season (November–December): Flame, Menindee, Sweet Globe™
- Mid season (January–February): Thompson, Crimson, Ivory™, Luisco
- Late season (March–May): Autumn King, Red Globe, Long Crimson, Sweet Sapphire™
If you have specific volume or variety requirements, the earlier you get in touch, the better we can plan around your needs.
Accreditations and certifications
Lazzara Fruits holds accreditations across a range of recognised industry bodies and variety programmes: IFG, DNFL, ITUM, ABRA, USDA and Pristiner.
