Grapes Are Getting Ready

The California Grape can be enjoyed two ways … first for the fruit it bears and second for its leaves that turn beautiful colors in the fall. (7/19/25) John Poimiroo

While patrolling the Great American Triathlon on Saturday, July 19, color spotter John Poimiroo noticed that the California Grape were laden with ripe berries at mile 13 on the American River Parkway in Sacramento.

“I tasted a few… nice grape taste though tiny grapes,” he described.

California grape leaves provide bright red, orange and yellow color in late October. Our mouth is watering in anticipation.
